|
Together with technology enhancement that gives options in various accesses in life, both human activities and technology enhancement have become some considerations to decide the type of facilities to be created. For example, human need of safety from weather answered by providing shelter to live. In today's world and more urban area, pedestrian pathway is created to separate pedestrian from vehicle to provide a safety and comfort space for human. Unfortunately, in the process of providing spaces for human activities as well as building certain facilities mostly are not followed by educative process of the users. The problem will arise while living in bigger scale such as in urban space, with limited knowledge, certain behavior may lead to accident. Frequently, because of the lack of the right information, human error might become the source of disaster. For example, flooding and the spreading of disease to name a view are commonly known as the result of human activities. Environmentally unaware behavior in daily life may lead to disaster. The irresponsible manner of throwing away garbage anywhere will caused blocked drain that may lead to bigger catastrophe. On the other hand, environmentally unaware decision maker in developing certain facilities by changing the natural drainage patron will also become cause of problems. In short, human behavior and lifestyle reflects in their city. The lack of knowledge in cleanliness, safety and healthy living may also become fatal accidents. For example, blocked drainage in ignored spaces may become mosquito's nest and cause of deathly disease such as dengue fever. Dirty spaces and unsanitary source of water may lead to diarrhea. There will be a lot more examples on disastrous result of environmentally unaware living because of human misbehavior. It is obvious that educative process of the users of spaces in urban living, human, is in urgent need. Concerning to promote cleanliness, safety, responsible and healthy living in urban space, our group's idea is spreading the message starts as early as the elementary children. To fill up the lack of educative material of environmental awareness, series of thematic books on ethic living in urban space are created. The idea is building public awareness to live socially, responsibly and to appreciate others and the environment we live in. Practical educative and informative material in the form of children picture books are provided to help children understand and memorized the content, and applied the message in their daily life. On the other hand, reaching wider audiences, parents or tutors are also encouraged to read the books for the children. The book will be created in two main series of Urban and Rural Living, based on research in knowledge of space, how to use and maintain the space, including global facts and practical tips in daily live. Our hope is to motivate the children to build a better understanding and grasp the right knowledge of living in their environment in today's life. [mw] |
