Output #1: Ideal Community

United Neighbors Harmonic Region

A. Technological

           Respective of the environment, the community is composed of diverse individuals who voluntarily work together towards the prosperity of the community. Each with their own, different specializations, the human capital, as a set, is a collective that is able to use the technological resources, in the cultivation of the community.

B. Economic

           The main means of production are built on traditional practices, but do not thrive. Farming is practiced by the majority, therefore most are also part of the market trade. Though seemingly agriculture-centric, technology plays a large role in the economic structure, acting as the catalyst in the market trade.

C. Political

           A just political system that acknowledges human rights, and practices the Freedom of Information especially in the allocation of funds. A democracy that does not discriminate on any aspect such as age, gender, race, etc. Compassionate, and lives with the people, knowing what the people of the community truly needs.

D. Institutional

           Community members are not expected and pressured to go out of their homes and socialize with each and every neighbor, though it friendliness is encouraged. Intermarriage is also supported, along with the expansion of kinship, whether through new families or migration, within the community.

E. Aesthetic-Values

           The standard values of integrity, kindness, and acceptance are generally present in the community. However, conflict normally arises, for not everyone is able to process or develop these values as easily and as young as others. Still, the value of unity is prioritized, prompting these conflicts to be resolved as soon as possible to not hinder community development.

F. Beliefs-Conceptual

           A diverse collection of different beliefs, different religions; those with common beliefs prefer to group together, but everyone is still respective of each other’s beliefs/religion. Others with a different religion may also choose to live within a different group, and no judgement will ensue for respect is at the heart of the community.

Output #2: Structure of Community

Meadowood from Above

           To fit two structures into one illustration, I thought of using a satellite map from Google to show the Economic, and Belief-Conceptual structures of our subdivision. From this top view of our village, you may see the different establishments around our home (red pin). The ones pictured here are just those that may fit onto the screenshot; other establishments like renowned Kamayeño is not here. They are part of the Economic structure of the subdivision, for they contribute to the collection of funds by paying for permits, and the likes, in order to operate business. They also bring in outside revenue, be it through customers, or suppliers (delivery for addresses within our subdivision are subject to pay additional PhP 100 to the guardhouses, which will be added to the subdivision’s funds). Next, following the trail of the blue line, it leads to the multi-purpose hall. Beside it is the village church. These two establishments are were both similar and different beliefs gather together – the church for the Catholics, and the multi-purpose hall for the different gatherings of other religions (Christians, mostly).
