21. Incentive driven project

The best strategy is to give different options to the people to choose from different modules they think will be best suited to their own environment or can best be tailored to their specific needs. Creating choices makes people more responsible rather than leaving no option and driving them by command. In the first scenario they are the caption of their own ship and in the second scenario we put someone else in the driving seat. Empowering people is the road for future progress in the 21^st century. Eco village project must be incentive driven in order to be successful. Any other attempt to regulate it by any regulatory body will upset the whole system because the regulatory bodies have directly no vested interest in the project itself, however a franchise idea will work because a franchise would have its own vested interest in the success of their project and will maintain a consistency throughout the whole franchise system to ensure its success of their franchisees.

22. People’s imagination put to work

The success of the West is that they have created tools and a support structure on how to use these tools and they have let the people’s imagination be put to work for their own specific needs. Similarly, it is important that we adopt all successful experiments that ensure our success. Giving the choices to pick the right module and tailor it according to their needs, creates creative thinking and encourages pure innovation. When different groups use the same module for their own applications, they open new doors for jobs by creating multiple crossovers for their needs and can market their successful ideas to the rest of the world.

23. Connecting with global Issues.

No one will ever listen to the intellectual stuff like green house effect, global worming, ozone depletion, deforestation, earthquakes, floods, world hunger, disease or any other issue unless these issues are connected to the most current threat facing to the local community. What, When, Where, Why and How are the questions that must be answered to demonstrated the physical impacts of global issue to their community.

24. Tourist attraction as trade:

Tourism is a great source of economy for many countries. Can we attract tourists to our respective communities? The answer lies in the fact, “what do we have to offer that will attractive tourists”. If we see the world tourist hot spots, we will notice that people have a deep fascination to buy stories of historical, mythical, and cultural value or otherwise that may give them a sense of recognition or being very special. Some villages base their very existence on selling stories of flying saucers, some sell crop circles, some on Holy sites and some on historic appreciation. Any change that may affect to the community, it may be presented as a tourist hot spot. Eco villages can attractive great rush from all around the world if properly marketed and if locals are educated on tourist interactive protocol and how to cash in this prospective traffic.
