Full Environmental Planning City: Acology

 
Summary)
 
     The word "acology" is a combination of architecture and environment, which means an environmentally sustainable community capable of self-sufficiency. Acoroses don't have to be a single building, but they can be a community with multiple buildings connected. Importantly, it should be designed to enable self-sufficiency without the need for trade. However, recently, due to SimCity 2000, I think of Acollage as a huge building. SimCity 2000 can be seen in large cities and green areas.
 
     When making an acornage into a building, people want to see outside the window, so hydroponic cultivation and factories should be placed inside the building. If the fusion technology, or fusion power plant, is inside the building, it can maximize photosynthesis by enjoying red light indoors, so you can solve everything inside the building like an acology. And each family's room is cared for by robots and recycles water, sewage and air through them
 
     When building tall buildings, they have problems with elevator construction, but because of the low trade volume and the low population per area, the problem of elevator installation is not important. And instead of building it high, it can be built sideways. If a building with a fairly large area per resident cannot be built, there is no reason to build an acornage. (When unit area construction costs become very low, indoor food production may be considered.) Like this, I first thought through this video that the development of technology, such as fusion power generation and solar energy generation, may not bring the end of the population, but may bring about an environment where people can live anew.
 
  
What's interesting, what's new?)
 
     I was impressed by the criticism of the vertical farm in this video. And I'm searching Wikipedia to write about Korea's farming. Then I became interested in vertical and thought it was an agricultural technology that could be used in the future. In this video, however, he criticized that vertical farms are not economically feasible. They said that it is not reasonable to grow food because high-rise buildings cost more land than arable land. And if you run a vertical farm with fossil fuel, it's not even eco-friendly." Without fusion technology, a single acre of arable land would require millions of watts of electricity for thousands of hours to be lit by artificial sunlight. Therefore, this is possible when there is a means to replace sunlight. Through this, I learned that I can expect vertical farms, acology, etc. only when technology is developed a lot.
    
 
 
The part I want to discuss with others)
 
     After watching this video, I first came across the city of acology, which is a perfect environment planning city. And this has taught us that technological advances can not bring about problems such as environmental destruction, population apocalypse and global sulfurization, but develop into a new level of eco-friendly cities. But I don't think technological development will only bring such a new positive future. I think that the disadvantages of new technologies created in the process of technology development are great, which could threaten people's health or severely damage the environment. However, the number of humans living on Earth increases, the solar system changes, and the environment continues to change due to the increase in the average life span of people. Therefore, I think the development of new technology is essential to maintain this changing society. Do you think future technological advances will bring a better society to live in? Or do you think it will bring about a society that is harder to live in?

    In my opinion, a sustainable society is a society in which not only technology advances but also various fields such as environment, economy, society, ecology, politics, and culture are well related. Therefore, I think that the development of people's perception should follow along with the development of technology in the future.

    I think we can become a better society. The world's population is growing, and technological advances are essential to solve the food problem in order for us to survive in this world. In fact, researchers study technology to survive in a new society. Of course, as you said, advanced technology can actually hurt society. For example, dynamite invented for use in mines was used in war. However, the present world often discusses and confronts these issues to create a more correct society than in the past. In this conflict, I think we are moving toward a better society.

W4. Millennium Development Goals / Lee Se Hyun

Summary The Millennium Development Goals were established under the International Development Goals. Millennium Development Goals, or MDGs, sought 191 U.N. member states and more than 22 international organizations to achieve their goals by 2015. MDGs have promoted the development of the international community. Poverty, hunger eradication, universal education level, gender equality, disease, environment and development of developing countries were targeted. However, it has been criticized for lack of legitimacy, neglect of female inequality in employment, and uneven achievement rate, but it has contributed a lot to many equal development. Interesting point I knew that international politics was carried out in a complex and selfish atmosphere. However, upon encountering the MDGs, I learned that the international community is making great efforts to ensure human rights. Among the MDG criticisms, criticism of women's inequality was interesting. The phenomenon of female ineq...

What is meant by that? / Lee hayoung

Q. Society is not determined by technology, nor is technology determined by society. Both emerge as two sides of the sociotechnical coin. What is meant by that? A. So to begin with, I think that society and technology are the relationships that influence each other, the concepts that one cannot include or dominate. There is technology in society, and technology exists because there is society. I think it's an inseparable relationship, so I think it can be expressed in both sides of a coin.

W10. Human_rights / Lee Se Hyun

Summary Human rights are the basic right to live as a person. This is an absolute domain. Applicable regardless of ethnicity, gender, age, or location and guaranteed by international law. Human rights have been modified and established over a long period of time. From ancient times to the post-World War II international human rights treaties, various changes and considerations continued. Since the 1966 Human Rights Treaty, the concept of human rights has been established and human rights are guaranteed at the international level through the UN, an international organization. Also, various efforts are made to ensure human rights in the community. Human rights organizations are established in continental units such as Africa, America, Asia, and Europe, to strive for the self-reliance of the vulnerable classes and countries. Human beings have studied human rights for a long time. Thus, the theory of human rights exists, and there are various views on human rights. Interesting point ...
