Troldtekt - brochure
The document discusses a new nature and cultural centre in Krik, Denmark designed by Force4 Architects. The centre was designed to fit into the rural landscape and was inspired by old barns in the area. Troldtekt acoustic panels were used on the ceilings and walls throughout to provide good acoustics. The centre won the Wood Wool Award in 2015 for its use of wood wool panels.
Green plan
The document outlines a green plan by a school to renovate an abandoned 18th century building in their community to create a youth club. The students will study eco-friendly materials and energy saving systems, design the rebuilding, and present the results to the community. They chose the historical building because of its size, garden, and location outside but within walking distance of town. The renovation will maintain the original facade and include rooms for reading, TV, chilling out, and a library, creating a place for young people to meet, study, and relax.
Masking tape art
Masking tape street art originated from an Australian artist named Buff Diss. This technique allows artists to create unique designs on property without damage since the tape is easily removable.

This document discusses marketing for sustainability in tourism. It argues that both influencing the market and customers is important. To influence the market, transparency about objectives is key and change will be gradual. Influencing customers emphasizes authentic experiences that benefit local communities as well as travelers. Responsible tourism marketing should focus on the journey rather than having all the answers, as positive change takes continual effort.
Community Based Ecotourism Himachal Pradesh
This document discusses community-based ecotourism (CBET) projects in Himachal Pradesh, India.

Oceanside Beach Project
Located at 314 N. Cleveland Street, this property covers .25acre and is very close to the Oceanside pier. Our plan is to build a 10-unit, ecovillage condo development. Ecovillages are designed to foster friendly neighbor interaction. The finished project will feature a total of 10 residential units, as well as 2 commercial retail units on the first floor. As well-known green builders, we will pursue the LEED Platinum and BuilditGreen designations on this project, and will include such key features as consideration of natural daylighting, healthy build materials, energy efficiency, water conservation, electric car outlets and improved indoor air quality.

Transformation of traditional village into eco-village
We have defined eco-village as a rural human settlement with all members committed to sustainably manage locally available natural resources with integrated comprehensive human right based approach to meet their social, spiritual, psychological, physical (including technological) and economic needs without any negative impact on natural ecosystems, resources, climate and health. Ecovillage thus addresses the social, spiritual or cultural, ecological and techno-economic discrepancies and instabilities through sustainable community based structures, practices and concepts from holistic right based perspectives.
Ecovillage has social, physical, spiritual or cultural and ecological (including techno-economic) structures or systems. Each system has subsystems that interact with each other.

A case of a homestay concept
Homestays provide visitors with an immersive cultural experience by staying with local families in their homes. Homestays allow visitors to observe and participate in daily life while building relationships with their hosts. They offer a more personalized experience than hotels through home-cooked meals, local knowledge and activities arranged by families. While homestays give visitors insight into local culture, there is a risk of difficulties adjusting to cultural differences for both hosts and visitors. However, the cultural exchange benefits both parties when approached with mutual respect.
