Study Notes
Access to Resources
- Participatory exercises can be used to collect information and raise awareness about how access to resources is affected by social factors such as gender.
- The exercises can be used by men, women, trainers, project staff, and field workers.
Analysis of Tasks
- This tool helps raise community awareness about how domestic, market, and community activities are distributed by gender.
- Understanding this information helps in planning development interventions that benefit both men and women.
Focus Group Meetings
- Focus groups are low-cost, semi-structured consultations with four to twelve participants and a facilitator.
- They are used to explore peoples' attitudes, feelings, or preferences, and to build consensus.
Force Field Analysis
- Participants identify and classify goals, and create sustainable plans by analyzing "before and after" scenarios.
- Participants review the causes of problematic situations, the factors that influence the situation, think about solutions, and create alternative plans.
Socio-Cultural Profile
- Profiles include data about:
- The community type
- Demographic characteristics
- Economy and livelihood
- Land tenure and natural resource control
- Social organization
- Factors affecting access to power and resources
- Conflict resolution mechanisms
- Values and perceptions
Village Meetings
- Village meetings are used for various participatory development activities including:
- Sharing information
- Group consultation
- Consensus building
- Prioritization and sequencing of interventions
- Collaborative monitoring and evaluation
Identifying Sense of Time and Place
- Planners and architects are designing communities that have a stronger "sense of place," focusing on:
- A more compact pattern of development
- Mixed use areas
- Pedestrian orientation
- Active civic and community life
- Closer links between public transit and land use
- Higher housing densities
Surveys
- Surveys use a sequence of focused, predetermined questions in a fixed order, with limited options for responses.
Tree Diagram
- Tree diagrams are visual tools for narrowing and prioritizing problems, objectives, or decisions.
- Information is organized into a treelike diagram including:
- The main issue
- Relevant factors
- Influences and outcomes
Identity in Community Architecture
-
Types of Architectural Forms in Planning:
- Centralized Form: A single, or a few, entities control the entire network.
- Radial Form: Visual material arranged around a central point, taking a roughly circular form.
- Clustered Form: Generally equivalent in size, shape, and function.
- Grid Form: A foundation for the layout of graphic materials on any given medium.
Sense of Place
-
Juhani Pallasmaa:
- Architecture is more than just the construction of buildings; it's a form of art that shapes the physical and emotional landscapes of our lives.
- Thoughtfully design public spaces and buildings can foster social interaction and strengthen community bonds.
- Architecture is a form of art, and buildings should be crafted with the same care and attention to detail as a work of art.
Creating a Strong Sense of Community
- Thoughtfully designed public spaces and buildings can foster social interaction, encourage gathering, and strengthen bonds between neighbors.
- When a community has a sense of place, its members are more likely to take pride in their environment, engage in local initiatives, and work together to improve their surroundings.
Emotional Well-Being
- Spaces that evoke a sense of place are more likely to be experienced as comforting, inspiring, and meaningful.
- The best architecture embodies the peculiarities and idiosyncrasies of the specific place.
Environmental Connection
- Architecture that integrates with the natural environment, using natural materials, and framing vistas, enhances our connection with nature.
Traffic Signs
- Mandatory Signs: Most mandatory road signs are circular, use white symbols on a blue background with white border or black symbols on a white background with a red border.
- Prohibition Signs: Signals a safety hazard or behavior likely to cause a risk to health or safety. Signs use a black safety symbol in a red circle with a diagonal cross through.
- Warning Signs: Yellow signs indicating a potential hazard, obstacle, or condition requiring special attention.
- Safety Signs: Convey information or instructions regarding the physical safety of people. Signs may be posted in a variety of areas, such as on walls, doors, machinery, products, or as floor markings.
- Danger Signs: Warn about a hazard or hazardous condition that is likely to be life-threatening. The word 'Danger' is inside a red oval which is inside a black rectangle and often features other warning symbols.
Additional Signs
- Recycled: This mark is placed on recycled objects to tell the consumer that they are buying a recycled product.
- Fragile: Placed on breakable object packaging to tell people handling the box to treat it carefully.
- Disabled: Used to show disabled access.
- Male and Female: Used to distinguish male and female toilets. A triangle (represents a skirt) for female toilets, and an inverted triangle (represents a tuxedo) for male toilets.
