Ecovillages
From Appropedia
Ecovillages are a kind of sustainable neighbourhood, which are typically planned and managed cooperatively. They are intended to be socially, economically and ecologically sustainable intentional communities[1][2] - though they include models that may be less intense and offer more privacy than some intentional communities. Compared to sustainable cities, they are smaller and typically aim for a population of no more than 150 individuals, which is considered to be the maximum social network according to findings from sociology and anthropology (Hill & Dunbar, 2002). However, cooperative networks of ecovillages do exist.
Ecovillage members are united by shared ecological, social or spiritual values (see Intentional community). An ecovillage is often composed of people who have chosen an alternative to centralized power, water, and sewage systems. Many see the breakdown of traditional forms of community, wasteful consumerist lifestyles, the destruction of natural habitat, urban sprawl, factory farming, and over-reliance on fossil fuels, as trends that must be changed to avert ecological disaster. They see small-scale communities with minimal ecological impact as an alternative.
In 1991, Robert Gilman set out a definition of an ecovillage that was to become a standard. Gilman defined an ecovillage as a settlement:
- Which is human-scale
- Which is full-featured
- In which human activities are harmlessly integrated into the natural world
- In a way that is supportive of healthy human development, and
- Which can be successfully continued into the indefinite future[3]
- Which has multiple centers of initiative[4]
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
The principles on which ecovillages rely can be applied to urban and rural settings, as well as to developing and developed countries. Advocates seek infrastructural independence and a sustainable lifestyle (for example, of voluntary simplicity) for inhabitants with a minimum of trade outside the local area, or ecoregion. Rural ecovillages are usually based on organic farming, permaculture and other approaches which promote ecosystem function and biodiversity. Some ecovillages integrate many of the design principles of cohousing, but with a greater ecological focus and a more "organic" process, typical of permaculture design.
An ecovillage usually relies on:
- "Green" infrastructural capital
- autonomous building or clustered housing, to minimize ecological footprint
- renewable energy
- permaculture
- cohousing or other forms of supportive community
The goal of most ecovillages is to be a sustainable habitat providing for most of its needs on site. Its organization also usually depends upon some instructional capital or moral codes - a minimal civics sometimes characterized as eco-anarchism:
- local purchasing so as to support the local economy
- local food production and distribution
- moral purchasing to avoid objectionable consumption
- consensus decision-making for governance
- a choice to respect diversity
The term ecovillage should not be confused with micronation, a strictly legal, not infrastructural, concept.

Our four-acre campus includes a fully shaded nursery containing 25,000 trees, one large and two small dormitories for volunteers, a training hall, a kitchen, and a small solar power system.\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/span\u003Ea kitchen, and a small solar power system.","title":"Ecovillages map/data","link":"","lat":19.139994444443999555005575530230998992919921875,"lon":-72.357097222221995025392971001565456390380859375,"icon":""},{"text":"Proyecto Yum Kaax\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://yumkaax.org/\"\u003Ehttps://yumkaax.org/\u003C/a\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EMexico\u003Cbr /\u003EStarted in January 2021 on a physical site in Chiapas, Mexico, we are here to build an ECOvillage as a place of constant material and cultural development for a living embodiment of a real human unity.","title":"Ecovillages map/data","link":"","lat":16.5,"lon":-92.5,"icon":""},{"text":"ECO22\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://ecovillage.org/project/eco22/\"\u003Ehttps://ecovillage.org/project/eco22/\u003C/a\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EUnited States\u003Cbr /\u003EWe are building a new cooperative communit\u003Cspan class=\"smw-highlighter\" data-type=\"2\" data-state=\"persistent\" data-title=\"Information\" title=\"We are building a new cooperative community of independent, private individuals designed to provide natural, compassionate support to its members who share compatible, complementary beliefs, goals and values.
