Sensory landscape

Umjetno izgrađeni okoliš te moderan način života negativno utječu na zdravlje osjetila vida, sluha, njuha i okusa. Broj kratkovidnih osoba raste velikom brzinom, sve je više gluhih i nagluhih te osoba koje imaju oštećeno osjetilo njuha i/ili mirisa. Posljedice lošeg gospodarenja okolišem negativno utječu na biljni i životinjski svijet i dovode do nestanka pojedinih vrsta. Jedan od problema koji prati današnji svijet je okolišna nepravda i onečišćivanje okoliša ekonomski nerazvijenih i nedovoljno educiranih zajednica. Velik broj ljudi koji žive u onečišćenim područjima blizu spalionica, odlagališta smeća, okruženi industrijom i sličnim pogonima štetnim po zdravlje posebno je ugrožen i najbrže obolijeva. Zbog sve veće ugroženosti zdravlja stanovništva, edukacija djece, razvoj svijesti i empatije potrebne su već od osnovne škole, a posebno u sklopu predmeta Tehnička kultura. Učenje i korištenje tehnike treba biti u skladu s prirodom, a ne protiv nje.Artificially constructed environments and modern lifestyles negatively affect the health of the senses of sight, hearing, smell, and taste. The number of near-sighted individuals is rapidly increasing, there are more deaf and hard-of-hearing people, and those with impaired senses of smell and/or taste. The consequences of poor environmental management have a negative impact on the plant and animal world, leading to the extinction of certain species. One of the problems accompanying today's world is environmental injustice and polluting the environment of economically disadvantaged and poorly educated communities. A large number of people living in polluted areas near incinerators, garbage dumps, surrounded by industry and other similar facilities harmful for health are particularly vulnerable and fall ill more easily. Due to the increasing vulnerability of public health, the education of children, as well as the development of awareness and empathy are needed starting with elementary school, especially in the subject Technical Culture. Learning and using technology should be in harmony with nature, not against it
