Building Up the Concept of Sustainable Development 1

In order to build up my own concept of sustainable development, I first write my thought for sustainable development up on the blog. I have many ideas for sustainable development, but have not summarized them successfully yet. Also, I have read articles about sustainable development a little so far. I am thinking what I need to do is building up the concept of sustainable development with my own thought and reading more related articles to sophisticate my theory. And then, I will need to combine my thought and knowledge gained from articles.

Here is the first draft of the concept of sustainable development.....

The term sustainable is the key word for community development, because community is able to ensure people’s lives and safe by developing or existing sustainability. In order to develop or exist sustainability, community should care about not only ensuring community members’ lives economically but also conserving community’s properties such as natural and human resources that contribute to development of the community.

Then, in order to develop or exist sustainability, what do communities need? As mentioned above, communities need to conserve their properties for sustainable development. Actually, people did know the importance of their properties in the past time. The people of the past really cared about their properties; they admonished abuse of natural resources to avoid losing them, and they fostered youth by conveying their knowledge, experiences, and skills. These were done in the community and conveyed there across several generations. In short, sustainability was naturally implemented in many communities.

On the other hand, sustainability became being considered less serious after the modern age started. People focused on economic development, which ignored conservation of their properties, but did not attempt to develop in a balanced manner economically and environmentally. It was only after people faced serious environmental degradation, which affected economic development negatively, they finally realized the importance of their properties and the need of their conservation.Having above experience, people became aiming to learn the people of the past that cared about their properties and were actualizing sustainable development. Concretely, they focus on natural resource conservation, fostering human resources and avoiding abuse of their properties.
