4.6 Summary
The overall landscape is to offer practical practices and learning atmosphere as an assistance to the inner building learning through three focuses educational paths while at the same time dealing with some local issues such as food security and lack of water source. For solving the food security, landscape proposed growing Ledyour instead because it can not only make income to local area but also provide a local medical treatment to people. For lack of water source, landscape proposed a rainwater harvesting system to gain the most natural resource of water. For dealing with grey water and human waste, landscape proposed a simple biogas plant to generate human waste into fertilizer as another saving money or nutritious the plants’ method. By offering these three practical solutions together with the learning atmosphere to assist local women gain basic knowledge towards gender equality, the landscape becomes a self-circulatory system mode in local area and could be beneficial in the long run.
Moreover, there are certain flexibility offered in the landscape as well. As mentioned before, the paths will be shaped only by the way of planting the trees and putting the stones by local people themselves and all the material will be from local source. Even for the farm, it is also an suggestion that growing onions or rice seeds or leydour will be more profitable but it totally depend on the local people. If they want to grow some flowers in the farm, it could also be possible. This design is more of a system proposal to encourage local women to be more selfindependent, self-awareness and have access to certain economical skills to at least ensure their economic status. And by ensure the basic economic status and knowledge, women can slowly move towards breaking the gender inequality in the local area and have more power.
