Reflection

What are the major challenges for changing the situation?

• The major challenge from my point of view is that defend the homelessness issue as a problem or as a way of life. Base on economical problems, homelessness is an increasing issue these days and people became poor and poor. In this case, families and individuals came to the street to find a shelter for passing their life. Defensive design, tiring to decreasing the amount of homelessness by eliminating the homeless people from urban landscape and it may push them toward suburban area.

On the other hand, inclusive design help them to find a temporary shelter to continue their life in streets and help them to access to food, medical and general hygiene. It may cause to increase the harmlessness issue by accepting this way of life in the society. But, which one is the best way? This is a big challenge.

What could be a starting point for democractically-based change?

• Please add approx. 150 words in essay style
