- 13. The Science ofHuman Settlements EKISTICS ● starts with the premise that human settlements are susceptible of systematic investigation ● coined from the Greek words “oikos” (home) and “oiko” (settling down) ● involves every kind of human settlement, with particular attention to geography, ecology, human psychology, anthropology, culture, politics, and occasionally aesthetics
- 14. The Science ofHuman Settlements CONSTANTINOS A. DOXIADIS ● Greek architect, engineer, and urban planner ● Chief Town Planning Officer for the Greater Athens Area in 1937 ● Representative of Greece to England, France, and USA on postwar reconstruction ● lead architect and planner of Islamabad, Pakistan https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=558499929645803&set=a.480611954101268
- 15. The Science ofHuman Settlements EKISTICS as a SCIENCE ● takes into consideration the principles man takes into account when building his settlements, as well as the evolution of human settlements through history in terms of size and quality ● relies on statistics and description, organized in five ekistic elements or principles: nature, anthropos, society, shells, and networks
- 16. The Science ofHuman Settlements EKISTICS as a FRAMEWORK ● “Settlements are man's response to his combined economic, social, political, technological and cultural human needs. As a result, man becomes successful with his response to this need only if he is happy and safe within the settlement that he creates for himself.” SETTLEMENTS MAN NEEDS SATISFACTION
- 17. The Science ofHuman Settlements GOALS of EKISTICS ● To build a city of optimum size that considers human dimensions ● Since there is no point in resisting development, it should try to accommodate technological evolution and the needs of man within the same settlement
- 18. The Science ofHuman Settlements HUMAN SETTLEMENTS ● Settlements inhabited by man ● Cluster of dwellings of any type or size where human beings live ● Created through movement of man in space and definition of boundaries of territorial interest for physical and institutional purposes
- 19. The Science ofHuman Settlements COMPONENTS OF HUMAN SETTLEMENTS 1. The Content ● Man ● Society ● Networks 1. The Container (Physical Settlement) ● Natural elements (Nature) ● Man-made elements (Shell)
- 20. Principles on theFormation of Human Settlements PRINCIPLE NO. 1 ● Maximization of man’s potential contacts with the elements of nature, with other people, and with the works of man
- 21. Principles on theFormation of Human Settlements PRINCIPLE NO. 2 ● Minimization of the effort required for the achievement of man’s actual and potential contacts (emphasis on the importance of time element at this day in age. From “Nomads” to “Settlers”)
- 22. Principles on theFormation of Human Settlements PRINCIPLE NO. 3 ● Optimization of man’s protective space, which means the selection of such a distance from other persons, animals, or objects that he can keep his contacts with them (first principle) without any kind of sensory or psychological discomfort.
- 23. Principles on theFormation of Human Settlements PRINCIPLE NO. 4 ● Optimization of the quality of man’s relationship with his environment, which consists of nature, society, shells and networks.
- 24. Principles on theFormation of Human Settlements PRINCIPLE NO. 5 ● Man organizes his settlements in an attempt to achieve an optimum synthesis of the other four principles, and this optimization is dependent on time and space, on actual conditions, and on man's ability to create a synthesis.

- 31. Classification of HumanSettlements Based on SIZE (of 5 elements and their combinations with people and land area) 1) Hamlet to Metropolitan Cities 2) Small and sparsely spaced (rural settlements or villages specializing in agriculture and other primary activities) 3) Large and closely spaced (urban settlements specializing in secondary and tertiary activities)

- 34. Classification of HumanSettlements Based on FUNCTIONS or the important understanding of the meaning and role of settlements 1) They reveal the nature, specialization, and the raison d’etre of the settlements 2) They can be based on activity (economic, social), their performance, or their special role (as dormitories, retirement villages, etc.)
- 35. Classification of HumanSettlements Based on TIME DIMENSION - the age of settlements, their place in the continuum (past, present, future), their relative static or dynamic character, the whole process of their growth https://www.myleszhang.org/here-grows-new-york-city/
- 36. Classification of HumanSettlements Based on the DEGREE OF SOCIETY’S CONSCIOUS INVOLVEMENT in the settlement’s creation – natural and planned settlements Based on INSTITUTIONS, LEGISLATION, AND ADMINISTRATION which society has created for settlements

- 48. Classification of HumanSettlements in Ekistics Balance between the elements of human settlements is the goal of EKISTICS which is to deal by necessity with: ● Nature, which is being spoilt ● Man, who is continuously changing ● Society, which is changing because of man’s new needs ● Shells, which must be constructed ● Networks, which are also changing to cope up with new demands
- 49. Evolution of HumanSettlements ● Phase 1: Primitive non-organized human settlements (started with the evolution of man) ● Phase 2: Primitive organized settlements – Eopolis (The Period of Villages lasted 10,000 years) ● Phase 3: Static urban settlements or cities – Polis (lasted about 5,000-6,000 years) ● Phase 4: Dynamic urban settlements – Dynapolis lasted 200- 400 years ● Phase 5: Universal City - Ecumenopolis which is now beginning

Editor's Notes
- #2 Ask a student what year they are/whether they already have taken planning subjects Ask the class if they are ready to begin - start in a few moments Greetings - good morning and thank you to Ar Vocal, the students, and everyone present for giving me the time, privilege, and opportunity to undergo this teaching demo. I will be discussing one of the modules culled from one of the fundamental subjects I took in pursuit of a postgraduate diploma at the School of Urban and Regional Planning in UP Diliman. I have been a student there for the past 2 years, while maintaining a full time job as a real estate broker and appraiser in a commercial real estate brokerage firm in Makati. Before that, I worked as an international marketing officer of a major property developer and as an architect under the Department of Health. I have two bachelor’s degrees–BS Architecture in Bicol University and BS Real Estate Management in Lyceum of Alabang. I passed the PRC licensure examination three times already and placed on top twice; and is currently on my way to getting a postgraduate diploma for urban and regional planning in UP Diliman.
