Lesson 12 : Planning For Family Life Space

Factors In Planning A Family Life Space

Every family chooses its space for family living based on several state-of affairs and these characterize the way in which space is planned and organized.

  • Location: Whether the home is in the country, the suburbs, the small city or metropolitan city will certainly have some effect on its character.

  • Mobility: When location becomes a question not of putting down roots for a life time but of planning a temporary or semi permanent life space, the outlook must be more flexible. The increasing popularity of mobile homes suggests that people are less willing to commit themselves irrevocably to living in one place forever.

  • Climate: The climate of a location is affected by its latitude, terrain, altitude, persistent ice or snow cover, as well as nearby oceans and their currents. It encompasses the temperatures, humidity, rainfall and numerous other meteorologicalfactors in a given region. The location may be too cold, hot, hot and dry, hot and humid, wet based on the above factors.

  • People: The number and relationships of people who compromise a household must be a primary factor in planning a life space in order that needs of each individual, and of the group as a whole, can be met. Optimally, a life space planned for more than one person should provide just the degree of privacy and just the degree of interaction with others that each member desires.

  • Lifestyle: It is a vague term that could be defined in many different contexts. But for purposes of planning a life space, we might consider it to mean the portion of time devoted to various activities in the home. It also includes taking into account the activities that are carried out by the inmates as a part of their routine and the methods employed while carrying them out.

  • Psychology of people:
    It is about mental and behavioral functions of the inmates. Psychological knowledge is applied to various spheres of human activity, including issues related to everyday lifeā€”such as family, sports, education, employment and physical and mental health. It may also result in Claustrophobia, the fear of enclosed space or Agoraphobia, the fear of being in large and unenclosed space.

  • Taste: Among the most revealing indices of personality is taste, which we can define as the particular likes and dislikes of an individual.
