How are Kin's Domains Settlements or Villages different from Eco-villages?
One way in which the Kin's Domain concept differs from the previous Eco-village model is by providing for each family on a Kin's Domain a minimum of one hectare, or 2.47 acres of land. A Kin's Domain can stand alone, or be part of a Kin's Domain settlement or village. Each village consists of multiple 1 hectare or larger plots owned by each family or domain settler. Another difference is, in the past Eco-village or commune model each individual was dependent on the collective always functioning and properly working together to meet the basic needs of all its members – especially in matters of food production. On a Kin's Domain each family/settler's goal is to become self sufficient, to stand on their own, with the surrounding domains creating a strong supportive network and community. Of course, there is a great need for working together in a Kin's community, and this vital work must begin before even a single person builds their own unique domain. Much forethought and planning is needed. In each village of Kin's Domains there will most likely be land that is shared by the collective community. This shared land could include such areas as: * a shared lake or large body of water * a school * a community meeting center * community agricultural lands or pasture * a visitor’s center * forest lands * riverside * roadway access, and more. With the flourishing of many Kin's Domains worldwide the responsibility of stewardship of the Earth is put back into the hands of the individual in a pragmatic and manageable way. With many people taking personal responsibility for the restoration of re-balancing the Earth’s natural systems the burden can be taken off the governments to provide all the solutions. The people themselves can take active participation in resolving the word’s many ails. When each Man of a nation can stand on his own then the nation as a whole can stand strong. Everyone who wishes should be provided the opportunity to responsibly steward and own a piece of their home, the Earth. |
