We define eco-village as a rural human settlement with all members committed to sustainably manage locally available natural resources with integrated comprehensive human right based approach to meet their social, spiritual, psychological, physical (including technological) band economic needs without any negative impact on natural ecosystems, resources, climate and health. Eco-village thus addresses social, spiritual or cultural, ecological and techno-economic discrepancies and instabilities through sustainable community based structures, practices and concepts from holistic right based perspectives. Eco-village has social, physical, cultural and ecological structures. Each system has subsystems that interact with each other.
