CIVILA
| 19.19 |
Introduction to CIVILA
|
|
| Urban planning is a collection of historical and contemporary philosophies which study human behaviour in terms of where we live, how we live and work and the alternative structures and systems that may exist. | ||
| Urban planning philosophies are associated with a number of disciplines such as social policy planning, urban design, architectural design, civil engineering and industry. All human settlement that has ever existed owes its inherent nature to a history of urban planning. | ||
| Not all urban planning philosophies are in agreement. Many urban planning ideas clash. As a result, urban planning is not considered a universal science. | ||
| Today, every level of government in every nation and city employs some philosophy of urban planning to its planning of the future of its human settlements. | ||
| 19.19.1 | CIVILA | |
| CIVILA is a cohesive system covering the complete identification and study of definitions, objects, relationships, patterns and rules of human interaction in the creation, properties and function of all types of human settlement. | ||
| CIVILA is divided into four branches: | ||
| National Regional Community Structural | ||
| National CIVILA is concerned with the identification and study of definitions, objects, relationships, patterns and rules of human interaction in the creation, properties and function of national human settlement. | ||
| Regional CIVILA is concerned with the identification and study of definitions, objects, relationships, patterns and rules of human interaction in the creation, properties and function of regional human settlement. | ||
| Community CIVILA is concerned with the identification and study of definitions, objects, relationships, patterns and rules of human interaction in the creation, properties and function of a community of human settlement. | ||
| Structural CIVILA is concerned with the identification and study of definitions, objects, relationships, patterns and rules of human interaction in the creation, properties and function of a structures. Structures include buildings, residential building, bridges, pipes, roads, transport links, communication links and all other structures. | ||
| CIVILA is also classified within the context of the UCADIAN model of knowledge and the UCADIA symbolic language. | ||
| 19.19.2 | The difference of CIVILA and urban planning | |
| All of the key concepts of urban planning are considered and structured within the model CIVILA. In that sense, CIVILA can be considered compatible in terms of the same general concepts as urban planning. | ||
| Similarly, CIVILA uses certain symbols and arrangements of symbols to denote meaning. | ||
| The key difference between contemporary urban planning rests in two points: | ||
| Urban planning is a collection of individual philosophies of design and constructions rather than being a cohesive system. Urban planning ideas typically excludes the principles of human value and rights from their foundations; | ||
| CIVILA is a comprehensive system founded on the principle of harmony of the rights and values of life and given needs of the whole community. That a happy community depends on a well constructed and happy urban design. This is a superior concept to urban planning as it both encompasses all the essential elements of urban planning but in a harmonic system. Hence, urban planning should always be treated as a sub-set of CIVILA. | ||
| The end result of CIVILA is a harmony of human settlement and therefore happy, harmonious and prosperous human settlements. | ||
| A system without harmony can never deliver full satisfaction or happiness. | ||
