| dc.description.abstract | High-rise buildings have become a
popular strategy for accommodating
population growth in urban areas in Sri
Lanka. Each and every building has different
characters and personalities that offer
different experiences to a person in their
daily lives, but the most vivid to sharpen
their psychological and social behavioral
qualities is their home or permanent living
space and surrounding characters. Different
factors such as age, gender, educational level,
economic status and social cultural
background can be considered to categorize
people. The main consideration in this
research is the age. Childhood, puberty,
adulthood and old age are the four main
stages of human life. This study has been
carried out to find the impact of living in
high-rises during the early childhood. The
age category was addressed throughout this
analysis will be the age group from 1 to 5
years. Purpose for the gathering information
three well-known nurseries were evaluated
under Interview guideline for teachers and
list of activities for children. Collected data
were analyzed by case study approach and
presented through descriptive statistics.
Findings of this research indicate that living
in high-rises during early childhood impacts
negatively for the physical, psychological and
psych-social development of the child.
