Ecovillages, les citoyens de la terre
Problematique: Ecovillages enquêter sur les, les écocités et les modes de vie durables
"The Ecosystem Lands it will support pas notre mode de développement actuel. Will develop solutions quickly is no longer an option. "
Report on the Global Environment Outlook, 2006, United Nations Programme for Environment
Knowing that our current development model is not viable, we want present concrete alternatives and replicable lifestyle low ecological footprint. To this end, we propose to investigate two existing solutions on a global scale: the Ecovillage
-rural self-sufficient.
them eco-cities and eco-districts, located in an urban context.
ecovillage
An ecovillage is a rural community's goal is to have the lowest impact possible on the environment within a framework of social justice. The strategies put in place to achieve these results are varied: organic farming and permaculture, green architecture, renewable energy, local optimization of trade, openness and constructive interaction with its environment.
ecocity A is a peri-urban residential area or managed according to the principles of sustainable development: green, renewable energy, recycling, local economy and solidarity. Unlike Ecovillage to the eco-cities are not self-sufficient but integrated in the economic and social life of the city.
Issues
Gather as much information about the Ecovillage, the eco-cities and sustainable lifestyles and put them in perspective. Submit a good practice guide appropriable and transferable. Raising public awareness and demonstrate the feasibility of sustainable lifestyles.
Objectives of the action and achievement
The main objective is to update the image the public has of sustainable development and always make everyone more aware of problems environment. To achieve this result we want to promote new ways of doing sustainable and effective among the general public, businesses and local authorities. Our base is the analysis and understanding of how implementation of projects in order to promote it. The Ecovillage do converge all aspects of ecology practice. For this reason, they can be models of sustainable development in all aspects: economic, agricultural, technical ... They also look for a model based on just social mix and cohesion.
History and objectives of the Ecovillage Network
Global Ecovillage (Global Ecovillage Network-) was created following the commitment made by the principal chiefs of the world summit in Rio in 1992 for sustainable development and eco- environment. The ecovillage is thus the place of experimentation and demonstration of new ideas and technologies unique to human societies evolve towards a desirable future. Far from being, as has often been the case with the previous sixty-eighters communities, a kind of self-sufficient enclave and oppositional it is perfectly integrated into the local, economic and institutional, which is an attractive center and innovative. He is also an important opportunity to mix human and economic development in regions that are often deserted, and this because of its many possible activities: reception and social tourism, training, business development, organic farming, artistic life, rehabilitation, alternative pedagogy ... In practice
Residents of a bind ecovillage aims to respect the human being and to respect the environment by:
-scale human economy: democracy direct social concern, solidarity, economic and cultural integration into the local environment. -The use of clean technologies and healthy materials, renewable energy and recycling waste.
The wide range of activities generates an ecovillage in a local economy:
-organic farming, biodiversity, permaculture, bio-regional coherence. -Home, resources, training center. Arts and crafts. -Incubator to ethical criteria. -Alternative schools, work sites, rehabilitation, research.
We offer a comprehensive survey on the initiatives taken worldwide to reduce our impact on the planet. We propose solutions adapted by communities, businesses and individuals. achieving the fieldwork
The beginnings of the investigation allowed us to select and ecovillage and eco-cities in which the model seems to us relevant, universal and transferable. The criteria considered are: integration with the surrounding society (rural indigenous communities and urban centers), emphasis on education, prevention and training, technological development. The
selection ecovillage on which we work evolves over the investigation. We will focus among other eco-cities and eco-villages to the following: Ecovillage:
Abra-144, Amazon, Brazil-Fundar Galapagos, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, Ecovillage and Permaculture Institute of Cerrado, Brazil-Las Canadas, Veracruz, Mexico-Los Guayabos , Jalisco, Mexico-Huehuecoyotl, Morelos, Mexico-The Panya Project, Chiang Ma Thailand-Pun-Pun, Thailand, Green Valley, Johor Darul Takzim, Malaysia Garden Villa, TamilNadu, India-Otamatea Ecovillage, New Zealand eco-cities: - Ecotruly Park, Lima, Peru-Acuaregua, Santander, Columbia agrovilles El Prado Santander British Aldinga, Adelaide, Australia-Food Fores, Adelaide, Australia Crystal Waters, Conondale, Australia
Dissemination and media
If ecology is in vogue, it becomes a marketing tool. Some doctrinaire media and policy prevent us from developing and promoting alternative lifestyles. We want to convey a positive and open, inform and educate.
This report documents and photos will be widely distributed on four levels:
-exhibitions, conferences, educational materials ...
-conferences, interventions, knowledge sharing.
-Press: the report will be submitted to editors: Geo, Ulysses, Science et Vie, Le Monde, Animan ... The French press produces little substantive issues on the practical aspects of ecology and sustainable development.
-edition: presented several projects to editors: photo books, book and spread awareness on sustainable lifestyles, guide and directory of eco-villages worldwide.
