Considering these different expectations of the humankind, various types of facility suppliers, have attempted to supply unique products or services or a product series with adjoining differences. The objective of this paper is to discuss of a mechanism viz., recreation opportunity spectrum (ROS) which leads to provide adjoining differences in a same land area. As this mechanism comprehends the land differences based on recreationists’/ tourists’ notion, the paper supports to expand both recreation and tourism industry. It is significant to discuss the ROS technique at this moment which conterminous with Sri Lankan development strategies. This concept paper discusses about ROS based on what, why, where, who, and how questions based on a literature survey. In conclusion, there are adequate opportunities to multiply land values by introducing multiple usages of same lands by applying ROS mapping in Sri Lanka.

Home gardens play an important role in household economy and are important ecosystems in the country. This study sought to estimate economic value of home gardens in the Wet Zone Low Country 3 agro ecological region (WL 3 AER) and intended to identify factors that contribute to the economic value. A structured questionnaire survey was conducted among randomly selected home gardens with varying sizes in Gampaha and Colombo districts. Information on size, crop types, yield and costs of inputs were collected along with respondents’ socio economic factors. Net average value of a home garden is LKR 76, 355 per annum while average value per hectare per annum is LKR 433,855. Values of each size category indicate an optimal size (perch 21-40) for maximum economic gains. Regression analysis indicates that an additional year of stay could increase the value by LKR 1245 and additional perch cultivated increase the value by LKR 500. The results highlighted the importance of home garden systems in the WL 3 AER for the household economy and the significance of recognizing that value in making decisions regarding home gardens.
