So to start of the ideaball of a community i created a threat in which all relevant topics may be discussed intensively. I will state my ideas in several posts in the coming days, feel free to add stuff.
Type of professions needed:
Agricultural profession - Needed. Someone with the basic skill set that is capable of teaching others about it.
Administrator/Business professional - Needed. To handle the logistics/inventory/finances of the commune. Could also become valuable in the theorizing of a microeconomic environment in the commune.
Engineer - Always helpful to have someone who understands how machinery works and may teach others about it.
Geologist - Would be helpful. Analyze the soil to find a sustainable way of balancing out the nutrition cycle. If not available it would be advised to find self made tests - https://alternet.forumvi.com/t80-soil-quality-test-kit
Systems to be taken into account
To create a completely sustainable community one must thing off various systems that have to be controlled and that could be designed to work together. These include resource producing as well as waste management systems. A good example of a system that handles this well can be seen in the youtube video below.
Agricultural system -
Find what to grow in the climate and environment available.
Choose between Hydroculture, aquaponics, agroforestry, traditional farming or a mixture of these.
Create a budget on the running costs such as equipment, water, organic substrates etc.
Create a closed system in which the resources are reused, in this case find ways of sustaining soil and food levels without draining the land and community resources in the long term.
Human waste system -
Create a pipe system that connects all buildings together to collect the waste for processing (e.g. fertilizer or fire resource).
Create individual waste systems in each building as the "occupier" wishes, some could connect to a system as the one mentioned above, whilst others might use systems such as shown in: https://alternet.forumvi.com/t48-toilet-to-fertilizer
Water waste system -
Create a system that collects all water together so that it can be sterilized/filtered for recurring use (need to find info on cheap methods of doing so)
Or individual water systems that give back to the environment - https://alternet.forumvi.com/t119-diy-greywater-system
Electrical system -
Very theoretical, no idea yet on this topic.
IT system -
Very theoretical, probably just a dream. If the community grows and manifests itself with enough members, an internal network could be organized. If there would be enough resources to sustain a server it could be the center for sharing anything inside the commune and would ensure a slight bit of luxury to the community.
Ill continue this later.
For self reference:
Income
Location
Extend of contact/cooperation
