i know in this complex world we live, development-logists do not like to hear or talk of Slums and under-privilege communities . I think that is because the term development and poverty is as old as democracy. i cannot just stick this terms SLUMS and under Privilege communities to south Asia and try to discuss the matters pertaining to the current COVID -19, new Corona issue, i thought listening to local news with regard to maintaining and handling the Corona affected humans in the country.
when it comes to human habitats SLUMS or under privilege human habitat is not a development term that had disappeared totally from the development agendas or plans of the world map due to various socio-economic and political and cultural reasons across world. according to what i believe the terms or slums cannot be totally erased from the south Asian or any other communities of the world due to highly increasing population, personal perceptions and attitudes of both citizens and administration communities. Total size of the plot of the slums i guess is decreasing compared with the number of population increasing.
Though due to wars , social conflicts and attacks, health hazards such as corona, the total number of population may change and subject to change , what the good- health systems expect is to maintain good-health and life expectancy rate to its acceptable standards. sudden attacks such as corona lead most the humans to re think of re-organizing, planing and designing the habitats for slums and under privilege community people, or the importance of giving them breathable space to live.
We talk of the distance that should be kept between humans due to Corona, but unfortunately many number of families or members live in a single house. Therefore we can assume one of the reasons to increase the number of affected person can be the reason mentioned above.
Therefore in the future, the world-health development experts and habitat development experts will have to think of considering above reasons and facts, when planing programs to cater the relevant needs of humans. But there are plenty of challenges ahead the responsible officials due to various reasons , one of the reasons for the matter is 'decreasing or shrinking land. most the land available were already used for the development reasons, to build high ways, housing or commercial complexes and some of the land we lost due due to other natural reasons such as soil erosion, floods, Earh-quakes etc.
we do not have much resources left. Designing health and development programs should be done accordingly. We need to think of how we should use the resources and human time available for the betterment of the humans. we have no time to quarrel with each other, we need to re plan and re schedule the programs with regard to health and development of the humans.
we all must inject following perceptions into human blood veins.
Let's minimize human error in every single work we do,
support every human who were either affected from health or any other social conflict (including the persons affected from April 21st issue occurred in the year 2019, mentally and economically to improve their lives.
Sabbe Satta Bhawanthu Sukhee tatta!
May all beings be healthy
