menulis tentang apa yang aku suka, aku rasa, dan aku lakukan..:)
melihatlah ke atas karena dengan melihat ke atas kita jadi mempunyai mimpi dan cita-cita…
melihatlah ke depan karena dengan melihat ke depan kita tau cara menjalani semua yang terjadi saat ini…
tapi janganlah lupa untuk sesekali melihat ke bawah karena dengan melihat ke bawah kita tau cara bersyukur…

“Participatory Maps for Inclusive Cities
Shriya Malhotra. March 7, 2012
Urban planners, designers and architects have their work cut out for them. The rate of urbanization around the world means that we have to reconfigure the way we think, design and plan cities. It is not like starting from scratch on a clean canvas. Reconstructing existing cities to fit the needs of a larger population will be especially difficult because it will require planners to accommodate the needs of current urbanites, while forecasting the needs of future urbanites. It will require a balancing act between the environment, public health and mobility, from the design stage all the way through implementation.
This is where participatory maps are an increasingly important aspect of studying and planning more inclusive cities. Inviting residents to participate in map-making gives them a voice in the spatial planning process. It also provides insights into how they use their cities – where they live, where they work, where they cycle. Take, for instance, the incredible map made by Anton Polsky, a Russian artist who goes by the name “Make” and is the founder of a participatory urban re-planning website:www.partizaning.org.
In 2010, Make designed and shared a map, which he calls “USE/LESS,” to bring to attention the dismal circumstances cyclists had to endure in his hometown of Moscow. Using the resources and opportunities available to him, Make created the map and designed a second online version to crowd-source the marking of cycling routes, dangerous roads and bicycle parking spaces. The map received a lot of support and attention from urban residents and the media, and it became part of an alternative vision for the city, called “Moscow 2020.” This is just one incredible example of participatory community mapping, which uses art as a method to engage citizens on important urban issues.”

hebatnya perempuan…:)
banyak orang khususnya kaum lelaki memandang bahwa makhluk yang bernama perempuan itu adalah makhluk yang lemah dan hobi nangis.
Tapi sesungguhnya perlu diketahui bahwa sesungguhnya dibalik tubuhnya yang lemah dan ringkih, perempuan adalah makhluk yang hebat dan mulia.
Dalam agama Islam kemuliaan seorang wanita telah dituangkan ke dalam Hadist yang berbunyi :
“Dunia adalah perhiasan dan sebaik-baiknya perhiasan adalah wanita sholihah.” (HR. Muslim)
Agar kemulian sebagai seorang wanita semakin sempurna di mata dunia maupun agama, maka sebagai perempuan kita harus mau belajar dan terus mengembangkan diri agar mampu menjadi perempuan yang cerdas berwawasan, mampu menempatkan diri di mana pun dia berada, dan beriman.
SELAMAT HARI PEREMPUAN INTERNASIONAL…:D
