ECO-VILLAGES

Introduction

Many nowadays people very concern about this world, pollution, and the development. They want their country to be developed, but they also does not want their country to polluted. Many countries in this world planning and exercised many efforts to maintained their environment quality. Eco-villages is the one of the effort.

Eco-Villages

Is kind of houses that are human inovation.purposes of create this kind of house.The main reason because,we want to save the enviroment.this Eco-village can help to world green by 2050.Also,
 kind of house that will assist you on your daily errands – helping to take out the garbage, prepare the food, beam up the teleport – practically anything. All you have to do is sit back in your eco home without worrying about the sky high electric bills because you have already invested into solar power.

others reasons Eco-villagebeen created.
1.  Well, in the future, geographical land will be hard to come by, so where better to live, than under water! We predict that the sea will be the key location..

2.  It can hold a lots proportion of population, and looks like giant anthills. People, who like both the country and city life, will enjoy this, totally green city.

3.  large apartment buildings, which generate solar electricity that basically powers itself. The egg looking buildings are curved and lean in a way to give an impression that all buildings are not “On top of one and another,” in order, to generate as much sunlight as possible.

4. Football stadiums and can hold up to 70,000 people. With many floor levels above water, and beneath. It generates solar electricity and consists of lush gardens, dotted all around.

5.This is an off shore, seaport, airport and small city, all in one. By 2050, many “Blimp,” planes will be floating around all over, and provide transportation, before much smaller, planes are made private. However, this giant lily, looking web, will house many people in the thousands and provide offshore housing.

6.It will compromise of shops, and residential areas. It is like a shopping mall, but on a much larger scale. Also, it will consist of tens of hundreds of gardens that offer lush scenery, and offer the most peaceful surrounds.

7. will provide for solar power, to send these 21st century buildings further into the future.

8. “Hub’s,” will be dotted around to provide solar power for neighbouring buildings.

9. This is the largest cities, and is an in-sight to what New York, or Tokyo, might look like in the future. With controlled driving. Cars will fly in amongst “Space-scrapers.”

ADvANtages of EcO ViLlaGeS

• save the environment
• save electric as it use solar power
• residents have truly international lifestyle with the best quality of life
• live in clean and pollution free
• help daily errands
• hold a lot of proportion of population

eco village??it is good...??

Eco village..people live underwater..daily activities done by robot..people use flying car,underwatertrain as their transportation..

as time changes, the technology had been boost up their level of intervention..in the our village, as always have river, paddy field..but in future, no more all of this..

the high level of technology had turned the "common village" to Eco village..many people will argue about this, but i want to stressed on the advantages of this Eco village..

the first advantage is Eco village save the energy..all house had used solar panel roofing, wind turbine in yard fly car..so when using solar power, it eventually save the environment. The environment save from the pollution.

It also will make our country or village clean and tidy as a lot of work had been done by robot. Robot will work efficiently. Then people will promote the easy life style...:)

diSAdvanTAgEs of ECo ViLlagEs

• involve destroying the countryside
• proposed area could be at risk to flooding
• result in an increase in the level of traffic

DISADVANTAGES OF ECO-VILLAGE

So good. So nice. So lovely. But, there are still lacks in certains aspects. The lacks or disadvantage of this kind of house is that the cost. To implement new technology requires the high investment.Not only the invested money but the firm or authority need to take risk of technology failure too. As the cost of build those house is high, to own it required too many dollars as well. Yes, may be in the future our living standard will be upgrade but not all people are afford. People who are rich will become richer and the poor people will become poorer. Therefore one of disadvantage is the cost incurred.

is there have gaping between these type of village..???

I think there a wider gap between these 2 type of village..

Village that we live now have fresh air, river, paddy field...its such a beautiful scenery that include all the natural resource..when Eco village built..they should sacrifie all the beauty scenery and built the modern environment to the village..in future people will live underwater..

use a new invention of transportation like flying car...

and all daily activities work had done by the robot..compare to now,

we still use public transport, children can play at river, paddy field..

and almost all housework are doing by ourself..

so these are some comparison between these 2 village....

Comparison by Sumaidah

Eco villages are existed in many countries such at Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. However, this eco-village is truly like the real village, this is differ from the eco-village was planned for future. The future eco village is most likely to be town. But it is concern about the environment. This eco-village is combination between the development of the country and the environment concern.

Barriers

the eco-village may have some kind of barrier. it depends on us how to overcome it to make this kind of program success. a report said measures need to be taken to ensure that any sediment run-off would not affect the neighbouring wetland areas. actually, the original project did not have a plan setting out where the erosion and sediment control measures would be installed. later then it will create problems toward consumers. it is possible if anything bad happen suddenly it may makes them in difficulty.

therefore, this programme has greater chances of getting replicated in any geographical area by mobilising government funds for development. thus making such a programme sustainable would be more easier if  the NGOs have demonstrated the concept by successfully implementing and operating it for a considerable period of time.

later on the NGOs could use these programs as the demonstration centres for other NGOs as well as government agencies for wide dissemination and replication of such models with appropriate modifications.

Barriers Facing Eco-Village

1) An eco-village is a “human scale,” which refers to a population within which it is possible to know and be known by others and to feel a personal impact on the community. Generally the population where this can be achieved is about 100 to 500 people.

2) Sustainable Community. The more general term "sustainable community" includes eco-villages, but it also includes clusters and networks of eco-villages, and non-geographically based communities (such as businesses) that are nevertheless human-scale in their components, diverse, and harmoniously integrated into the natural world. In this sense, an eco-village is a distinct place, either as a rural village or as an urban or suburban neighborhood. A city could not be an eco-village, but a city made up of eco-villages could be a sustainable community.

3) Beside that, Eco-villages grow out of the needs and opportunities caused by:

• new ecological constraints - which grow out of high levels of population and technological capability;

• new techniques and technologies, from better understanding of ecosystems to more diverse channels of communications; from efficient technologies for renewable resource use to new forms of human organization; and

• new levels of consciousness and awareness, symbolized in part by the picture of the Earth from space, with all that means in terms of global consciousness and an awareness of the many-billion-year history of life on this one small planet in the vastness of the Universe.

4) And Eco-Village system have a lot og challenges, sme of them are:

-The built-environment challenge

-The bio-system challenge

-The economic system challenge

-The whole-system challenge

-The governance challenge

The Effect of Having Eco-Village

Having eco-village has the advantages and disadvantages. There are also a lot of bad or good effects having eco-village. And below I have made some list about the effect of having eco-village:

1) By having eco-village, we can reduce vehicle travel

2) So that, the impact of moto vehicle also can be reduced and pollution can be reduce.

3) Eco-village can be contined into indifinate future

4) But, because there will be a robot to help people doing job, people will become lazy and useless

5) they also predict that, sea will be key location. In this situation, it will effect and create a problem to environment.

THE EFFECTS OF HAVING ECO-VILLAGE

As listed by my friends before, there are some others effect of having this eco-village which are:

• The healthy life style might be hard to implement. As all the things are inside, people tend to not have natural exercise such as walking or jogging that make them sweat which is good for their health anymore.
• The security will tend to be upgrade or increase too.
• The living style will change.
• People might not knows how to tolerates as they can have all the things by their own without sharing with other people.

Opinion

In my opinion,the idea of create Eco-Village is really brilliant.
because this kind of village really help us and also help our enviroments.Thus,we all can live in healthy.Moreover,all the facilities are privided at that village.this make people job easy.

Opinion

eco-village is not just a housing development, business or agriculture. but it is human activities which are integrated harmlessly into the natural world. however, there is lots of biological systems exist in a relationship with the surrounding world where they are part of cyclic flows.

then,this program may become one of the supportive of healthy human development that can be successfully continued into the indefinate future. it also can gradually convert selected villages in the operational areas to  renewable energy based model eco-villages.

the great work is really about providing for future generations a quality of life and to help preserve the planet, it is essentially to balance environmental and social equity needs with more tempered personal and corporate economic gains.
