structure of Central library. It also shows how it was before and what changes
have been made to the today's map.
Commencing to the first illustration, that shows the image of public library
20 years ago. In which the chairs and tables were placed before the entrance, the
right side of the library have two rooms and an open area, in which one was for
the tickets and book returns etc, the other on top corner was for children's book
and between them the adult non-fiction books were placed. However, on the
opposite side, the one block was for magazines and news papers and the other was
for computer games and a place of the adult fiction books was found.
Moving to the today's plan of the local library, in which several changes
have been noticed. The chairs and tables were removed from the entrance. On the
right side the replacement of the enquiry with cafe and children's book room with
lecture room was mentioned in the plan. Even the information desk and self
service machines were added to the open area. Therefore, on the left side, instead
of reading, the corner was fixed for the computers. The other room on the left,
have
two sofa's with a story telling point and a corner for the children's fiction books.
In many countries, there is a growing trend of rural inhabitants moving to
urban areas, resulting in a decline in the population of the countryside. In my
opinion, This is a negative development as it leads to environmental degradation
in Cities and undermines the economic potential of rural areas, particularly in
terms of tourism.
Firstly, the mass migration from rural areas to cities disrupts the balanced
distribution of the population across the country. Urban areas become
overcrowded, leading to increased pressure on public infrastructure such as
transportation, healthcare, and education. This population surge also intensifies
pollution, as the demand for resources such as water, energy, and food rises,
leading to greater waste production and environmental harm. For instance, cities
often face higher levels of air and water pollution, as well as waste management
challenges, due to the concentration of people.
Secondly, the decline in rural populations negatively impacts local
economies, particularly those dependent on agriculture and tourism. As people
leave these areas, businesses struggle to survive, and investment in infrastructure
declines. This is particularly detrimental to tourism, as many rural regions possess
natural beauty and cultural heritage that attract visitors.
However, a shrinking population often means fewer services, less
development, and a decline in the quality of tourist facilities, which can
discourage visitors and diminish the region's economic prospects. For example,
small towns in picturesque regions may see a drop in tourism due to the lack of
restaurants, accommodations, or recreational activities.
In conclusion, while rural-to-urban migration is driven by economic and
social factors, I believe it has harmful consequences. It not only contributes to
environmental issues in cities but also stifles the development of rural areas,
particularly in terms of tourism. Addressing this issue requires balanced
development policies that encourage growth in both urban and rural regions.
