Ranaweera, D. D. A.
Cities are typically complex notions with multiple dimensions and interpretations. The&#13;
human landscape in cities is a unique phenomenon that undergoes temporal and spatial&#13;
changes due mainly to the influence of industrialization, urbanization, and globalization.&#13;
Among these factors, the nature of the services offered by various urban centers and the&#13;
periphery of receiving such services generate urban dynamics. A dynamic involves the&#13;
modification or enhancement of an existing situation. This study aims to identify and&#13;
analyze the most substantial elements of Dry Zone urban dynamics created by the&#13;
combination of three components, namely the performance of the periphery, the behavior&#13;
of the city, and city-using third parties. Under the method of purposive sampling, three&#13;
urban centers and nine periphery villages were selected for the study based on the mean&#13;
of all urban service centers. This study used primary and secondary data and they were&#13;
analyzed using statistical methods, Geospatial techques and qualitative analytical method&#13;
for styding the dynamics. One of the most important findings of this study is that the&#13;
functions of the service centers in the Dry Zone are taking precedence over the peripheral&#13;
requirements. In addition, the distribution of functions of the service centers varies across&#13;
urban service centers, however the type of functions is comparable. Consequently, the&#13;
vertical spread of the city is currently faster than its horizontal spread. Although the urban&#13;
dynamics and the agricultural sector may coexist, it is influenced by numerous other&#13;
&#13;
complex aspects. Among such aspects, the tourism business, the trend toward non-&#13;
agricultural employment, and the shift in mindset produced by the rise in education have&#13;
&#13;
been the most prominent. At present it is difficult to measure the urban dynamic with&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
traditional parameters and it is needed to analyze the new factors which are developing&#13;
in dry zone urban environment, and it could be take at least another 10 years of period to&#13;
show real picture of the urban dynamics in Dry Zone of Sri Lanka.
