LIVING FUTURE ECO VILLAGE PROJECT
Ecovillages are intentional communities whose goal is to become more socially, economically and ecologicallysustainable. Most range from a population of 50 to 150 individuals, although some are smaller, and larger ecovillages of up to 2,000 individuals exist as networks of smaller subcommunities. Certain ecovillages have grown by the addition of individuals, families, or other small groups who are not necessarily members settling on the periphery of the ecovillage and effectively participating in the ecovillage community.
Ecovillagers are united by shared ecological, social-economic and cultural-spiritual values.Concretely, ecovillagers seek alternatives to ecologically destructive electrical, water, transportation, and waste-treatment systems, as well as the larger social systems that mirror and support them. Many see the breakdown of traditional forms of community, wasteful consumerist lifestyles, the destruction of natural habitat, urban sprawl, factory farming, and over-reliance on fossil fuels as trends that must be changed to avert ecological disaster and create richer and more fulfilling ways of life.
Ecovillages offer small-scale communities with minimal ecological impact or regenerative impacts as an alternative. However, such communities often cooperate with peer villages in networks of their own (see Global Ecovillage Network for an example). This model of collective action is similar to that of Ten Thousand Villages, which supports the fair trade of goods worldwide.
From Wikipedia
Permaculture is a system of agricultural and social design principles centered around simulating or directly utilizing the patterns and features observed in natural ecosystems. The term permaculture (as a systematic method) was first coined by Australians David Holmgren, then a graduate student, and his professor, Bill Mollison, in 1978. The word permaculture originally referred to "permanent agriculture",but was expanded to stand also for "permanent culture", as it was seen that social aspects were integral to a truly sustainable system as inspired by Masanobu Fukuoka's natural farming philosophy.
It has many branches that include but are not limited to ecological design, ecological engineering,environmental design, construction and integrated water resources management that developssustainable architecture, regenerative and self-maintained habitat and agricultural systems modeled from natural ecosystems.
Mollison has said: "Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless labor; and of looking at plants and animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single product system.

REED BED SYSTEM
Reed beds are natural habitats found in floodplains, waterlogged depressions and estuaries. Reed beds are part of a succession from young reed colonising open water or wet ground through a gradation of increasingly dry ground. As reed beds age, they build up a considerable litter layer which eventually rises above the water level, and ultimately provides opportunities for scrub or woodland invasion. Artificial reed beds are used as a method of removing pollutants from grey water.

COMPOST TOILET PLAN
A composting toilet is a type of dry toilet that uses a predominantly aerobic processing system to treathuman excreta, by composting or managed aerobic decomposition. These toilets generally use little to no water and may be used as an alternative to flush toilets. They have found use in situations where no suitable water supply or sewer system and sewage treatment plant is available to capture the nutrients in human excreta. They are in use in many roadside facilities and national parks in Sweden, US, UK and Australia. They are used in rural holiday homes in Sweden and Finland.
The human excreta is usually mixed with sawdust, coconut coir or peat moss to facilitate aerobic processing, liquid absorption, and odor mitigation. Most composting toilets use slow, cold composting conditions, sometimes connected to a secondary external composting step.
Composting toilets produce a compost that may be used for horticultural or agricultural soil enrichment if the local regulations allow this. A curing stage is often needed to allow mesophilic composting to reduce potentialphytotoxins.

LIVING FUTURE ECO VILLAGE CHALLENGES
The Bio-System Challenge: To fulfill the ideal that the activities of the eco-village will be harmlessly integrated into the natural world requires that the eco-village find ecologically friendly ways to:
1. preserve natural habitats on the village land
2. produce food, wood, and other bio-resources on site
3. process the organic waste produced on site
4. render harmless any initially toxic waste from the village
5. recycle all solid waste from the village
6. avoid adverse environmental impacts off-site from the production and delivery of any products brought in from off-site
7. avoid adverse environmental impacts off-site from the use and disposal of any products
The Built-Environment Challenge:
A. To fulfill the ideal that the activities of the eco-village will be harmlessly integrated into the natural world also requires that the Ecovillage:
1. build with ecologically friendly materials
2. use renewable energy sources
3. handle solid, liquid, and gaseous wasted from buildings in an ecologically friendly manner
4. have a minimal need for motorized transport
5. build in ways that have a minimal impact on the land and the local ecology
B. To fulfill the ideal that the Ecovillage supports healthy human development requires that the buildings in the community:
1. have a good balance of public space and private space
2. encourage community interaction
3. support a full diversity of activities
The Whole System Challenge:
All of the challenge areas above require change in a major paradigm. Building a successful eco-village requires a balance of activities among three major phases:
1. Research and Design
2. Creation and implementation
3. On-going Operation & Maintenance
HALL PLAN
You will eat foods, read book and doing yoga etc.. in this hall.
VILLA PLAN
We will make villa by natural material. Long term stay OK!
WORK SHOP HOUSE PLAN
This house will be made by RICE STRAW BALE.We will do workshop "How to build natural house?""How to cook natural foods?" etc...
Please donate to make an eco village↓
