Horowpathana has been identified as a hotspot of human-elephant conflict in Sri Lanka's north-central province, where quick intervention is required. But Sri Lanka never had a consolidated action plan to address the problem. This study deals with the question of how landscape architects can contribute to mitigating the problem in the area. It aims to create a design proposal that facilitates elephant requirements and offers functions and recreation for the residents at the same time. The design is based on the method of animal-centred design. The study demonstrates that such conflicts can be resolved through precise landscape design that considers the issue on the specific site. Effective implementation requires strong governance structures and policy support from stakeholders like governmental institutions, conservation organizations, and academics. Collaboration between infrastructure developers and conservationists can reduce the harmful effects of development projects on wildlife by employing proper design methodologies and undertaking further research to assure establishment efficacy.
