The heart of permaculture as originally laid out by the founders was Earth care, people care and fair share. Two of these concepts (people care and fair share) highlight the importance of social structures in the design and operation of sustainable landscapes.
The main ideas with development of a community is how to create mutually beneficial relationships between people and create an environment that fosters positive interaction while also is respectful of privacy. The modern society can be thought of being built upon the premise of individuals requiring very little from each other, which results in less social interaction and therefore social structure within communities. Individuals work a job to get resources 'money' to buy things they need and this, in addition to long work hours, reduces the requirement and likelihood of social interactions. |
