'''The readings in group C, portraits a series of analysis of the different definitions of landscape and the way it is reflected through the roles of images. From natural, habitat, a system or the aesthetic, the beautiful or an ugly, the landscape is seen due to values and interests we share as an individual or as a group. In the eyes of a child, the landscape is always beautiful. What is the role of the man and the role of the designer in a landscape? Where are both involved?

My architectural philosophy? Bring the community into process. This is a Ted presentation by architect Alejandre Aravena. Here he talks about power of design synthesis and involved people in design process.

Scoring Collective Creativity and Legitimizing Perticipatory design by Randolph T.Hester explain Public participation on landscape decision making. And in that reading main highlighting methods is Larry Halprin RSVP cycle. He mentioned that Halprin followed process oriented method not thing oriented.Randolph also shed light on evaluation of participatory design process which has 7 criteria: democratic process, community consideration, environmental justice, learning opportunities, power distribution, ecological considerations and design outcomes.

Landscape as Ecology- the mankind should be integrated and the structures as landscape ecology; culture structure landscapes. The cinematic real landscapes show the hurricane Katerina, and its moral questions on natural and man-built environments?

European Landscape Convention is adopted by the committee of minister of the council of Europe .They works on protection of landscape and promote awareness, provide training and education, set policies and implement them. They focus on sustainable development of social needs, economy and environment. This convention also encourage public participation on landscape decision.

The coming of globalization and advance technology versus the replacement of the social and political, men with the private man; which in their own right create individualistic landscape.In this context the city (in global context) is too small for the problem; and in individual context the problem is too small for the city. There are reasoning theories, talking about new planning structures and the intelligibility explaining on how the new inhabitant of Zwischenstadt would have new social ties (not traditional family and friends, rather as individual); flexible working hours; multidisciplinary and with a holistic approach; the place with new identity to strengthen participation as a new relationship for culture and politics; the landscape of segregation, and the raising of the individual as a class disintegration, opportunities equal for everyone.'''

== Rationale: Why have you chosen this case for the landscape and democracy seminar? ==
* ''Ashkar Dighi is a manmade water body which is considered as a big pond (dighi) located in Chittagong city. The reason of this specific case selection as a landscape democracy project is its historical and social value and in addition to have an ecological value towards city. And its present damaged conditions need deliberate attention. But unfortunately this case does not get proper attention from authority as well as from city dwellers as it can hardly see from road due to the illegal structure around it. This Dighi facing water encroachment, land filling and pollution which ultimately tends to a threat to society and ecosystem. The four banks of this Dighi snatched by slums, furniture shops, religious structures and other structures. Some furniture shop in the north side of the dighi along with the main road accidentally burnt into fire in 2013. Due to this accident the north bank of dighi got openness and managed to get an attention of the concerned citizen and show its huge possibility to become a public spaces. In that time some concern citizen along with professionals (Architect and urban planner) raised their voice and tried to make this space as a public space. Nevertheless, this shops owned by influential locals and they managed to rebuild the shops again and the authority plays a silent role. As the time gradually rolls out, the impact of this issue in human mind unfortunately fades out.''

== Representation of your observations ==
* ''Ashkar Dighi named by Nawab Abdullah Beg alias Ashkar Khan Bajme Sani who was the second Mughal commandant of Chittagong. Within 1669-1671 time period, he ordered to dig this pond for water supply to his solders. It was 8.49 acres in 1898 and in recent days it has shrunk to five acres. By the course of time, this Dighi lost its old glory and grabbed illegally by influential locals. Now a days it too polluted for any use. Illegal settlements, shops and other structures took the position on the four banks. The garbage and filth generated in those slums and houses are the major reason for pollution of Ashkar Dighi.''

== Reflection ==
=== What are the major challenges for changing the situation? ===
*''In my point of view, the first and foremost challenges for changing the situation should be create public awareness and to make it visible for the people. The Dighi is close to the main road at north side and connection from that part is more convenient. At road side there are some furniture shops which are owned by influential locals.Those locals grabbed and owned the front land and that is why they are doing whatever they want.Also the water body is owned by Shawkat Hossain who is very influential person in Chittagong city.But there is a rule that any water body exceeding 0.5 acre should be preserved.In this case authority can take actions but they does not show any concern as that locals have powerful grip over them. It would be a great challenge for authority and also concern professionals who can raise voice and make public to know the impact of this Dighi as well as open public space and convince that locals to move and free the space for people. Also secondly, steps should take to relocate slum people in a suitable place to make the dighi free from pollution and to have free access. ''

=== What could be a starting point for democractically-based change? ===
*''Firstly to start democratically based initiatives in the context of my country deliberately needed to create public awareness. People of Bangladesh are always used to with situation. A situation which was continued in past will be going on in future unless if anyone take the initiatives. Public participants in any decision making (except elections) is still not famous. Now a days there are some hope that some professionals are trying to involve people .So, first of all, it will be our duty as a professional to take part in creating awareness among the people and then try to involve people in decision. And also design the participation program in such a way that nonprofessional person can easily understand the process and can contribute their inputs. ''

== Rationale: Why have you chosen this case for the landscape and democracy seminar? ==
* ''Ashkar Dighi is a manmade water body which is considered as a big pond (dighi) located in Chittagong city. The reason of this specific case selection as a landscape democracy project is its historical and social value and in addition to have an ecological value towards city. And its present damaged conditions need deliberate attention. But unfortunately this case does not get proper attention from authority as well as from city dwellers as it can hardly see from road due to the illegal structure around it. This Dighi facing water encroachment, land filling and pollution which ultimately tends to a threat to society and ecosystem. The four banks of this Dighi snatched by slums, furniture shops, religious structures and other structures. Some furniture shop in the north side of the dighi along with the main road accidentally burnt into fire in 2013. Due to this accident the north bank of dighi got openness and managed to get an attention of the concerned citizen and show its huge possibility to become a public spaces. In that time some concern citizen along with professionals (Architect and urban planner) raised their voice and tried to make this space as a public space. Nevertheless, this shops owned by influential locals and they managed to rebuild the shops again and the authority plays a silent role. As the time gradually rolls out, the impact of this issue in human mind unfortunately fades out.''

== Representation of your observations ==
* ''Ashkar Dighi named by Nawab Abdullah Beg alias Ashkar Khan Bajme Sani who was the second Mughal commandant of Chittagong. Within 1669-1671 time period, he ordered to dig this pond for water supply to his solders. It was 8.49 acres in 1898 and in recent days it has shrunk to five acres. By the course of time, this Dighi lost its old glory and grabbed illegally by influential locals. Now a days it too polluted for any use. Illegal settlements, shops and other structures took the position on the four banks. The garbage and filth generated in those slums and houses are the major reason for pollution of Ashkar Dighi.''

== Reflection ==
=== What are the major challenges for changing the situation? ===
*''In my point of view, the first and foremost challenges for changing the situation should be to make it visible for the people. The Dighi is close to the main road at north side and connection from that part is more convenient. At road side there are some furniture shops which are owned by influential locals. Though there is a rule that any water body exceeding 0.5 acre should be preserved, those locals grabbed the front land illegally. In this case authority does not show any concern as that locals have powerful grip over them. It would be a great challenge for authority and also concern professionals who can raise voice and make public to know the impact of this Dighi and convince that locals to move and free the space for people. Also secondly, steps should take to relocate slum people in a suitable place to make the dighi free from pollution and to have free access. ''

=== What could be a starting point for democractically-based change? ===
*''Firstly to start democratically based initiatives in the context of my country deliberately needed to create public awareness. People of Bangladesh are always used to with situation. A situation which was continued in past will be going on in future unless if anyone (especially government body) take the initiatives. Public participants in any decision making (except elections) is still not famous. Now a days there are some hope that some professionals are trying to involve people .So, first of all, it will be our duty as a professional to take part in creating awareness among the people and then try to involve people in decision. And also design the participation program in such a way that nonprofessional person can easily understand the process and can contribute their inputs. ''

== Rationale: Why have you chosen this case for the landscape and democracy seminar? ==
* ''Ashkar Dighi is a manmade water body which is considered as a big pond (dighi) located in Chittagong city. The reason of this specific case selection as a landscape democracy project is its historical and social value and in addition to have an ecological value towards city. And its present damaged conditions need deliberate attention. But unfortunately this case does not get proper attention from authority as well as from city dwellers as it can hardly see from road due to the illegal structure around it. This Dighi facing water encroachment, land filling and pollution which ultimately tends to a threat to society and ecosystem. The four banks of this Dighi snatched by slums, furniture shops, religious structures and other structures. Some furniture shop in the north side of the dighi along with the main road accidentally burnt into fire in 2013. Due to this accident the north bank of dighi got openness and managed to get an attention of the concerned citizen and show its huge possibility to become a public spaces. In that time some concern citizen along with professionals (Architect and urban planner) raised their voice and tried to make this space as a public space. Nevertheless, this shops owned by influential locals and they managed to rebuild the shops again and the authority plays a silent role. As the time gradually rolls out, the impact of this issue in human mind unfortunately fades out.''

== Representation of your observations ==
* ''Ashkar Dighi named by Nawab Abdullah Beg alias Ashkar Khan Bajme Sani who was the second Mughal commandant of Chittagong. Within 1669-1671 time period, he ordered to dig this pond for water supply to his solders. It was 8.49 acres in 1898 and in recent days it has shrunk to five acres. By the course of time, this Dighi lost its old glory and grabbed illegally by influential locals. Now a days it too polluted for any use. Illegal settlements, shops and other structures took the position on the four banks. The garbage and filth generated in those slums and houses are the major reason for pollution of Ashkar Dighi.''

== Rationale: Why have you chosen this case for the landscape and democracy seminar? ==
''Ashkar Dighi is a manmade water body which is considered as a big pond (dighi) located in Chittagong city. The reason of this specific case selection as a landscape democracy project is its historical and social value and in addition to have an ecological value towards city. And its present damaged conditions need deliberate attention. But unfortunately this case does not get proper attention from authority as well as from city dwellers as it can hardly see from road due to the illegal structure around it. This Dighi facing water encroachment, land filling and pollution which ultimately tends to a threat to society and ecosystem. The four banks of this Dighi snatched by slums, furniture shops, religious structures and other structures. Some furniture shop in the north side of the dighi along with the main road accidentally burnt into fire in 2013. Due to this accident the north bank of dighi got openness and managed to get an attention of the concerned citizen and show its huge possibility to become a public spaces. In that time some concern citizen along with professionals (Architect and urban planner) raised their voice and tried to make this space as a public space. Nevertheless, this shops owned by influential locals and they managed to rebuild the shops again and the authority plays a silent role. As the time gradually rolls out, the impact of this issue in human mind unfortunately fades out.''

=== Søndrehallen, a symbol in my everyday landscape ===

The new sport hall in my community is a relative new symbol in the landscape, but it is probably the most important one. It is located near the local school and the regions heritage museum, which contains authentic rural houses with authentic content. The new sports hall is built on a voluntarily basis by the inhabitants in my municipality. This is in Norway called “dugnad”, and indicate an effort and a commitment on the local inhabitants part, to create a meeting point and a uniting sports arena for the future. The hall contains a café, which is also driven voluntarily. The café replaced the grocery store as the most important meeting place in my village and the café have become a place where the local population meet family and friends. The sports hall is meant to add a location of quality to the village and could potentially prevent depopulation and avoid centralization, which are two of the biggest problems in my municipality. The hall was built to offer a suitable sport and recreation arena for the general population, where the local schoolchildren also would be given a suitable exercise and playing arena. As the structure where built it became a bridge between generations, a common project where retirees and high schoolers alike worked together to raise the hall and make a difference in the community. Today the sports hall stands as a symbol of the amazing things cooperation produces, as well as being a high quality sports facility. ''

=== Søndrehallen, a symbol in my everyday landscape ===

The new sport hall in my community is a relative new symbol in the landscape, but it is probably the most important one. It is located near the local school and the regions heritage museum, which contains authentic rural houses with authentic content. The new sports hall is built on a voluntarily basis by the inhabitants in my municipality. This is in Norway called “dugnad”, and indicate an effort and a commitment on the local inhabitants part, to create a meeting point and a uniting sports arena for the future. The hall contains a café, which is also driven voluntarily. The café replaced the grocery store as the most important meeting place in my village and the café have become a place where the local population meet family and friends. The sports hall is meant to add a location of quality to the village and could potentially prevent depopulation and avoid centralization, which are two of the biggest problems in my municipality. The hall was built to offer a suitable sport and recreation arena for the general population, where the local schoolchildren also would be given a suitable exercise and playing arena. As the structure where built it became a bridge between generations, a common project where retirees and high schoolers alike worked together to raise the hall and make a difference in the community. Today the sports hall stands as a symbol of the amazing things cooperation produces, as well as being a high quality sports facility. ''

It is located near the local school and the regions heritage museum, which contains authentic rural houses with authentic content. The new sports hall is built on a voluntarily basis by the inhabitants in my municipality. This is in Norway called “dugnad”, and indicate an effort and a commitment on the local inhabitants part, to create a meeting point and a uniting sports arena for the future. The hall contains a café, which is also driven voluntarily. The café replaced the grocery store as the most important meeting place in my village and the café have become a place where the local population meet family and friends. The sports hall is meant to add a location of quality to the village and could potentially prevent depopulation and avoid centralization, which are two of the biggest problems in my municipality. The hall was built to offer a suitable sport and recreation arena for the general population, where the local schoolchildren also would be given a suitable exercise and playing arena. As the structure where built it became a bridge between generations, a common project where retirees and high schoolers alike worked together to raise the hall and make a difference in the community. Today the sports hall stands as a symbol of the amazing things cooperation produces, as well as being a high quality sports facility. ''

''The symbols were chosen in Tottenham, North London, to show community initiatives over public buildings and spaces, their management structures and organisations. In one or many ways all of these symbols are connected to local people, history, changes, which are inspirational and educational.
The most important factor is that all of these symbols have been part of a change and have become important or current through ‘necessity for change’. This change varies from change in the way goods are transported; political structures; new economic budgeting- where local authorities are selling public services, spaces and buildings to private developers; as well as new agendas for green strategy; smarter travel, smarter city.
Tottenham, has been reported to be most culturally diverse area in Europe.
The symbols have intercultural, intergenerational use and purpose, they target various deprived cultural groups, and work with them. The river has accommodated the student and adopted ‘arts culture as a magnet’ for the area. The skill share projects have been made to incorporate young adults and adults into getting practical experience; the gardening and allotments pockets are open to all age groups; use to be targeted more to elderly people but today we have a big amount of young people and adults which are involved, the schools regularly visit the green growing spaces and have initiated their own growing habits in the school.
Claiming the public building and public space to be managed and maintained by the people would bring a new way of growing the cities, but if this become the majority , would we question its existence?

=== My Everyday landscape ===

''Bangladesh is a country of south Asia. In north, east and west side boarded by India, Myanmar is in southeast and at the south it is facing the Bay of Bangal. As it is on tropic of cancer, Bangladesh has tropical climate with heavy rain fall, high temperature and high humidity. All this climatic character and geographical features of Bangladesh shapes people living style, behavior, culture and occupation here. In this compose image I try to portray my everyday landscape pattern as well as our cultural celebration and nature of my country. . The image at the top left is taken from my balcony. It symbolizes unplanned residential pattern due to rapid population growth in my city Chittagong. In this images it reflects unplanned building construction without respecting building law and also less concern about open spaces. Nor people neither authority are concern about this matter. Other two images beside it are both side street view in front of my house. This street has multipurpose activities. Lower income group people gathered in this street in early morning with vegetable for sell and most of the customer are middle income group people from neighboring area. This activities only occur early morning (6-8.30 am). People from neighbouring area prefer to buy from here as they can get things easily without going to the market. This street act as an income generating space and also simultaneously act as comfort space for neighbouring people and discomfort for the passer by people. There is a Girls college and one factory building located besides this street. For this reason at afternoon different activities occur in the street such as- factory worker gathered in the street at break time to have chat and to drink tea from near tea stall. Girls College ended up at evening and again this street become busy with public transport (Rickshaw, Taxi, local bus) and also with Feriwalas (Selling street foods).
1st image at bottom reflects our culture activities in Bangla New Year. People from different religion comes together and celebrate this festival with one identity “ Bangali”.
Other two images shows the natural beauty of Bangladesh. Both are taken from Chittagong hill tracts. One shows the little hut of a tribal people between greenery convey the massage of hard life and in another image boats reflects the life of a fisher man.
