Abstract
With the development of world towards industrialization, globalization, higher economic growth, population growth and living standards, the consumption of natural resources has been raised a lot. However, there is a limited capacity of our planet to meet the increasing demands for natural resources and to absorb emissions and wastes resulting from us. Ecovillage is a solution for healing the planet as it demonstrates a viable, sustainable human and planetary future. In this research paper Ecovillage design patterns will be analyzed and evaluated for environmental conservation. Case study of Dayalbagh is also presented to evaluate its performance as an Ecovillage.
