1.IntroductionThis project is a Social and Cultural scheme to develop the social and culturalfacilities. This primary user group is the area (Northern Region) people who were

affected by the war.The ministry of Cultural and Public Affairs in Sri Lanka

lunched a scheme to develop the social and cultural facilities, infrastructure, healthand educational facilities for people in the Northern region. Especially in theremote areas parallel to the ongoing development projects in the Jaffna district.

Introducing Kilinochchiya as one of the selected development node under theSocial and Cultural scheme program and proposed to be located the following

building project such as:

Art and drama theater Library Museum Day care center Mini sport complex Retail outlets Cafeteria Art and communication center Leisure park

as the key design regard in this project. The proposed site for the development

work has demarcated as six acre land with different topographic conditions.

2.Details Of Kilinochchi Town In BriefKilinochchi is a town. It's the main town of the Kilinochchi District, in theNorthern Province of Sri Lanka. It is situated at the A9 Road, some 100 km south-

east of Jaffna.

Including land area of approximately 1,237.11 square kmand an inland waterway of 44.30 square km. The average density of population is 124 persons per

square km.The Kilinochchi District falls within the electoral district of Jaffna and

is represented by 9 members of Parliament.

The district is conterminous with the Jaffna District to the North and theMullaitivu District to the East and South. The District falls within the dry zone

eco-climatic division of the island.

The average annual rainfall in the region amounts to 1100 mm, nearly 75% ofwhich is received during the North-East monsoonal period from September to

December. The remaining period of the year is predominantly dry with the peak ofthe dry season being June to August. The average monthly temperature ranges

from 30-35centigrade. The Kilinochchi District was under the control of theLiberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) for many years during the war.

3.Family Background In Kilinochchi Female headed families

These female headed families are socially and economically extremely vulnerable

in conflict situation and post conflict era and they face many difficulties in theirday to day lives. These women have not only been affected by the violence but

also they have witnessed the loss of their loved ones. At the same time they alsohave to support financially and emotionally and nurture similarly traumatized

offspring. It was found 40 female headed families [34 %] in the 117 sample inKilinochchi.

Marriages, Divorce, Separation and DeathsIn Kilinochchi District most of the married women are young andthey got married to avoid forcible recruitment in Vanni at the time of armed

conflict. Due to the lack of women empowerment activities in the village youngwidows and abandoned young women face many social problems.


8/25

Malayalapuram Division, Kilinochchi out of interviewed 42 Families 24% is only

legally married and the balance 76% had cultural marriages only. In Saavalkadduvillage, Jaffna out of 20 interviewed families; husbands of 09 widows were

naturally died, husbands of 04 families were shot dead in 1996, one died due to

Cyclone, husbands of 05families died due to the armed conflict and one separatedfamily. Those women forced to be the breadwinners of those families.

Life with DisabilityDisability brings additional burdens to most of the families, especially to the

female headed families. It was found that some of the families are running by the

female head because man is disable due to natural cause or armed conflict. Somefemale headed families are there with disable members.

Family IncomeIn Kilinochchi women are the breadwinners of the families and they are

selling firewood, some of are doing poultry farming, selling vegetables, etc as their

source of income. In their village, there is Women development Committee andwith the assistance of the committee they have a system of savings money and give

loans for self employments. In Kilinochchi , out of 11 female headed families 4

have source of income, 2 women are engaging in labour work and rest of themdoing small scale business. All of these families have paddy land but they are not

cultivating. Women who dont have income sources depend on dry ration andassistance from their relatives.

4.Vision of the ProjectThe vision of the this project is to plan one which is functionally efficient,economically viable, environmentally sustainable and socially integrated to address

the challenges, with the improvement of the quality of life.

5.Project Objectives

To improve their social conditions.Because of this project people can gather together in mini sport complex, an

economic center, it helps to develop their inter communication andrelationship so it help them to improve their social condition.

To improve infrastructure facilities.Because of this development project many infrastructure facilities canintroduce to the target area. To continue project course work we should

provide water supply, proper road system, electrical installation, drainagesystem, proper waste disposal system, all of these infrastructures own to the

area people.

Develop their living and economic statusThis project also will develop their living and economic status higher andeducation level of the children and make a brighter future to them for thebeneficial for the countrys development as well as the project will help

them to acquire a successful future.

To provide happiness, physical and mental fitnessprovide happiness, physical and mental fitness To those poor people

.constructing a leisure park and a play ground And religious places(hindu

temple)leisure park also can create near the pre-school .To upgrade the

living standards of the people and upgrade literacy. Constructing of a schoolfor the children in war affected area

6.Site AnalyzingThe site has demarcated in 6 acre flat land with huge trees and bushes. With

respect to topography there are no real constraints to physical development in thatarea.It is underlain by 3 formations the pre Paleozoic basement rocks, the Manner

sandstone and the Kilinochchi limestone. The pre palezoic basement rocks aredescribed as massive, crystalline igneous and metamorphic.

The site is full of trees and bushes. So it is very helpful to the eco friendly design.

The climate of this area is very hot. So trees give natural cool and helps to create a

greenest environment to this dry zone.

A characteristic feature of the Kilinochchi landscape is the most of the ponds seem

to be natural depressions while others have been artificially created for drainage orhave been used by the inhabitants for religious purpose, irrigation or washing of

clothes.

7.Design and Site ConsiderationsBuilding Orientation

Locate and mass building in a manner that maximizes solar gain and takesinto account environmental factors such as wind, rain and water run-off etc.

Consider shape of building and selection of materials to create exteriormicro climates. Entrance

The main entrance floor level should be located as close as possible tonatural grade to help facilitate access for all occupants.

Provide a level and weather protected area at the entrance large enough toaccommodate strollers, staff or parent bicycles, benches.

Ensure service vehicles operate away from the entrance and drop-off points,Depending on scale and number of children, provide approximately 3-6

meters of level space for drop-off point. Security The front entrance should be equipped with a security system and/or

intercom.

Ensure strollers and/or storage do not block entrance - in order to preventFire Code Contravention.

Access to the building should be through a single point of entry preferablynear an administrative office; this would help in supervision of all visitors.

Maintain sight lines from the interior to exterior as well as from vehicle tosite, especially where cars or trucks may be reversing. Consider the height of

children when plantings and furnishings are planned for these areas. Colour cues and tactile warnings should be provided where there are

hazardous areas near walkways and other pedestrian areas.

Use only smooth, firm, uniform and non-slip paving materials on pathways. Provide adequate drainage to prevent standing water. Ensure down spouts

spill away from walkways and ramps.


12/25

Landscape Considerations

Landscaping is a vital part of an outdoor play environment and is complementary

to all types of

play activities. Landscape design should consider the:

Topography. A variety of colours, textures, and surfaces. Protection from the sun, wind, and noise.

Select plants that are responsive to the changing seasons. Design proper drainage

of all surfaces.Operator may seek the assistance of a third party certified

playground inspector. Rocks and Debris During the construction of a play area,

remove all rocks and debris larger than 100mm (4 in.) to a depth of 300 mm (1 ft).

Drainage

Slope grade of playground away from the building. Provide either concrete curbs, logs, or timbers around sand areas to seal in

water and impede drainage. Avoid locating sandboxes below ground level as

this creates the potential for a child to fall in.

Avoid crossing play areas with drainage swales which might cause childrento fall.

Provide a drainage system so that the playground is not greatly affected bywet weather.

Shade

Provide awnings for shade. Include small trees and deciduous trees in landscape design to provide shade

from thesun.

Ensure there is sufficient shade for metal surfaces (e.g. slide) that willotherwise become too hot for children to use if constantly exposed to the

sun.

Provide a well-shaded Social Play Area. The Quiet Play Area also requires a balance between some shade for lengthy

play in the

Trees and Shrubs

Vegetation provides shade and wind breaks and cools the air. It attractswildlife, provides loose parts (leaves, cones arid twigs), provides landmarksand builds in seasonal change and beauty.

8.BUILDING SPACE AND RELATIONSHIPDesigning specialist spaces for building spaces and its relationship with society,possible technologies and materials to minimize the costand enhance the eco-

friendly environment

Arts And Drama TheaterFilm and video projection

Halls can be used for film and video screenings, for which they need fully-wired

and sound-proofed projection rooms of around 12m 2 to 15m2 at oneend (with an alternative means of escape). The necessary equipment includes a

16mm film projector, a video projector, a screen (static or moveable) and speakers.

It should be possible to operate the public address system and lighting from theprojection room.

Music practice rooms

The principles of acoustic separation set out in section three should also be applied

to music practice rooms. They should be acoustically separated from one anotherand from surrounding spaces by sound lobbies, The volume and shape of the room

itself must be considered. Parallel and identically-dimensioned walls createstanding waves and flutter echoes, which reduce sound clarity. Ideally, at least one

wall should be angled to avoid this. Alternatively one wall may be fitted with some

absorptive material to reduce the sound reflected off it.

LibraryLibraries in particular locations may present themselves to the public in specific

ways and with specific programmes: whether as life-long learning centres, as

cultural market-places, as settings for new kinds of aspirational lifestyles, asagencies of public information and welfare rights, or as community facilities andmeeting places. Each library design will need to reflect the priority services and

ethos being offered in that library for its particular set of users.

The library as a second home

The relationship between the library and the home is changing, as more library

catalogues go online, enabling people to order, reserve or renew library stock, and

even belong to electronic newsgroups established by libraries for particulareducational or cultural interest groups.

Time-tabling access and circulation

Another important consideration with regard to library design, is the need to be

able to section off or close some areas at different times of the day or night to meet

other needs, particularly when library services are shared with other services; orthe provision of community meeting rooms, where access to toilets and catering

facilities is required without having to open up a whole building. Design needs to

take into account matters of time-management and the allocation of space and

patterns of circulation which reflect both short-term and long-term uses of thepublic library.

The library is a public space (and place)

Historically, library design has emphasized its public nature, with imposingentrances, high ceilings and domed roofs, but also with a pronounced relationship

to the street outside. Some libraries have tiers of steps in front of them, wherepeople sit in fine weather, to chat, or take a break from their studies inside.

Designing in (and out) technology

All library facilities, of whatever size, will need to incorporate ICT and onlineservices. All ICT equipment comes with specific design and construction

requirements of its own: cabling, networking, lighting, heat-displacement, security,

and so on. Design also needs to take on board matters of monitoring and

surveillance of ICT use; the difficult question of appropriate and inappropriate, orthe suitability of ICT for both individual and group use.


15/25

Day Care Center:Classroom space needs to be designed in a way that allows for a different use inthe morning for much of the year. Interior spaces for school age programs need to

meet a wide range of needs including homework, resting, recreation, socialization

and a place to talk quietly with teachers. Like preschool children, school agechildren also need quality outdoor spaces, but their needs are for spaces where theycan relax or be physically active as antidotes to long hours at a desk in a classroom.

RETAIL OutletsRetail shops are to be created in 40 perchases.They are located in every where for

the various accesses. In these retail shops they sell vegetables,fruits,grocerry items,

fancy items,communication,hardware items, fish & meat,textile,poojaitems,fuel,electrical items, school items.etc

Art and craft exhibition center:Exhibition spaces which present touring work should have ancillary workshop

spaces for storage, packing and framing, an external delivery dock and allow

access for works up to 2.5m high and 2m wide. Screens, blackout screens andwalls should be either self-repairing or easily painted over.

18/25

Community CenterThe Community Center plays an important role of the development activity in thisrural area and contributes to the quality and life of the rural population. This

community center is involved in rural development activities and they oftenundertake small infrastructure development work.This also serves as a center

where meetings and discussions take Place among village leaders and elders.

Leisure ParkThe leisure park is to be created in 70 purchases. The project aims to 100 families.Among those families there are below 5years kids, 5 years kids, school children,

school leavers, middle aged persons and also elders. So the leisure park is created

the persons in all ages. They can relax by spending time in this park. They also canenjoy with their family members.

10. Selecting Sustainable Building Materials toProtect The Aesthetic Quality and Eco-Friendly Environment

This chapter overlooks how to enhance the eco-friendly environment and protectthe aesthetic quality

production and design of a passive home and typical house construction.

Increasingly, energy conservation and eco-friendly products are becoming moreattractive to owners and builders who wish to build sustainably without sacrificing

comfort or style. This building technique, when applied properly can develophomes which require no off site energy input annually.

A passive home would rely on the coordination of envelope design, and natural

energy production to ensure that heating, cooling, and domestic water productioncan be accomplished inexpensively and eco-consciously.

The building envelope consists of several elements which must be coordinated and

designed to minimize heating and cooling losses. these elements would include:

Insulation Walls Vapor barrier Insulation Windows and doors

Roof

We know northen region has dry climatic condition so building insulation is

essential.One critical building element which distinguishes a passive house from a

traditional home is the building envelope and insulation structure. The buildingenvelope is the contiguous structure which separates the interior environment from

the exterior environment (ACEEE). New building techniques enable builders toachieve a much higher R-value, the measure of thermal resistance of the home

against natural climate, which can have a tremendous impact on energy

consumption over the life of the home. The higher an R-value a home can achieve,the more energy efficient and comfortable it will be.


21/25

Walls and windowsWalls should be flush-faced and impact-resistant. Plastered or fair-faced masonry

walls or dense particleboard linings are suitable options and the

slightly rougher surface of a fair-faced wall will assist acoustic diffusion.

Structural framing projections, wall bars and other perimeter intrusions should be

avoided as they can cause accidents. Internal walls separating the hall from other

adjacent rooms should generally be of high-mass construction to reduce noisetransfer. Doors and low-level windows should be specified with safety in mind.

Doors should generally open outwards and internal doors between main spacesrequire vision panels that are of a height and size appropriate to all users. Door

frames and door leaves should be flush with the wall or should have splayed

reveals to minimise the risk of injury. Fire escape doors should have recessed panicbars or flush-mounted push pads for the same reason. Fire extinguishers, sensorsand other equipment should either be recessed or located in corners to minimizeobstruction and possible damage.

Window technology and construction has progressed a tremendous amount inrecent years. New products include: double pane, triple pane, vinyl, and wood.

Triple pane windows are the newest product to emerge on the scene and featuretwo thermal barriers of air encased between three panes of glass.The final section

of the building envelope is roof which can be extremely variable in design. Thereare two major types of roofs, the hot roof and the cold roof.

Cold roofThe cold roof is deemed so because the attic of the dwelling is opened along the

soffits to allow for ventilation into the attic. This type of system has dominatedtraditional building because it allows for ventilation under the roof which typically

gets superheated and causes the failure of building materials.

Heating & Cooling

This necessitates the installation of an HVAC unit, and ductwork, as well as a

separate heating system. So we should arranged several chiller plants to ourproject.


22/25

Electrical SystemsLighting, Appliances, & Fixtures

Establishing lighting for the passive home is as critical a design element as

insulating it. Lighting must be highly efficient and arranged to not beoverburdening on the electrical system. Proper lighting techniques allow for a largelighted surface area with minimal adverse light intrusion. Minimizing electrified

fixtures where possible can reduce energy consumption and bring more naturallight into the home. Appliance location can equally help to reduce consumption

costs.

AcousticsGiven the acoustic sensitivity of musical and dramatic performances, it is advisable

to involve an acoustician at the outset of the project. Speech and music requiredifferent reverberation times, ranging typically from 0.9 seconds for speechto between 1.1 and 1.3 seconds at mid frequencies for non-amplified music. To

counteract the hard walls and surfaces required for sports use, some absorption willbe required. A seated audience will itself absorb sound and further absorption can

beintroduced by drapes, or by acoustic panels with a hard, perforated surface

either in the ceiling or in the upper walls.


23/25

11. Features of Sustainable Building MaterialsWe identified three groups of criteria, based on the material life cycle, that can beused in evaluating the environmental sustainability of building materials. The

presence of one or more of these features in building materials make it

environmentally sustainable.

Local Materials

Using locally produced building materials shortens transport distances, thus

reducing air pollution produced by vehicles. Often, local materials are better suitedto climatic conditions, and these purchases support area economies. It is not always

possible to use locally available materials, but if materials must be imported they

should be used selectively and in as small a volume as possible. For instance, the

decorative use of marble quarried halfway around the world is not a sustainable

choice. Steel, when required for structural strength and durability, is a justifiableuse of a material that is generally manufactured some distance from the building

site.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is an important feature in making a building material

environmentally sustainable. The ultimate goal in using energy-efficient materials

is to reduce the amount of generated energy that must be brought to a building site.

The long-term energy costs of operating a building are heavily dependent on thematerials used in its construction. Depending on type, the energy-efficiency of

building materials can be measured using factors such as R-value, shadingcoefficient, luminous efficiency, or fuel efficiency. Preferred materials slow the

transfer of heat through a buildings skin,reducing the need for heating or cooling.

Quantitative measurements of a building materials efficiency are available to helpin the comparison of building materials and determining appropriateness for

certain installations.

R-Value

Building envelopes are generally rated by their insulating value, known as the R-

value. Materials with higher R-values are better insulators; materials with lower R-

values must be used in thicker layers to achieve the same insulation value. R-values can be measured for individual materials (e.g., insulation, siding, wood

paneling, brick) or calculated for composite structural elements (e.g., roofing,walls, floors, windows). Many types of insulation materials are available, from

organic cellulose made from recycled paper to petrochemical-derived foams.


24/25

Use of Non-Toxic or Less-Toxic Materials

Non- or less-toxic materialsare less hazardous to construction workers and abuildings occupants. Many materials adversely affect indoor air quality and

expose occupants to health hazards. Some building materials, such as adhesives,

emit dangerous fumes for only a short time during and after installation; others cancontribute to air quality problems throughout abuildings life.

Renewable Energy Systems

Building sites are surrounded by natural energy in the forms of wind, solar

radiation, and geothermal heat. Renewable energy systems can be used tosupplement or eliminate traditional heating, cooling, and electrical systems through

the utilization of this natural energy. Components that encourage daylighting,passive and active solar heating, and on-site power generation are included in this

category. Solar power can be utilized in many forms, both for heating andproduction of electricity. In many parts of the country, wind poweris a feasible

way to generate electricity and pump water. Active solar or geothermal heatrequires outside electricity for pumps but still saves energy in comparison to the

operation costs of traditional mechanical systems.
