research, as well as via commercial application where urban development can really
play no role in it. Thus, essentially much focus must be directed toward rural renewable power system such as solar, wind, biogas, and geothermal energy application
to confirm a cleaner greener earth.
Housing and Building
Making the most of the renewable resources is frequently stressed in sustainable
housing and building, utilizing sunlight via photovoltaic equipment, active solar,
and passive solar, and utilizing trees and planets via rainwater runoff reduction, rain
gardens, and green roofs can play a major role in reducing climate change [21, 23].
Simply, having appropriate synergistic design in place enables individual green
building technologies to join forces to generate increasing impact where the application of this design technology would be much more easy in rural area in comparison to the urban area. Clean design or green architecture on the artistic side is the
philosophy of planning a construction that is in line with the resources nearby the
site and natural feature. Thus, designing clean housing and building will involve
many key steps: identifying “green” materials of building from indigenous sources,
reducing loads, optimizing systems, and finally producing onsite renewable energy
which is abundant in rural area.
Simply, it is necessary for the housing and building sector to confirm that a
dynamic clean design and development in all forms of housing and building has
been enforced in order to achieve a balanced environment globally. Essentially,
emphasis should be directed to the assessments of project life cycle, solicitation,
pre-construction, design development, project planning, project ecology, site selection, methods, and application of construction materials to ultimately confirm a sustainable housing and building for the rural community.
Infrastructure and Transportation
Naturally, traditional transport systems which are mainly from the urban infrastructure have significant impacts on the environment, accounting for nearly 28% of
world energy conventional consumption and it is causing proportional climate
change and adverse environmental impact [35, 36]. While sustainable transportation
refers to the broad subject of transport that should be environmentally benign in the
senses of social, environmental, and climate impacts and the ability to mitigate the
environmental pollution indefinitely, the urban area has limited space to adopt this
technology compared to the abundant space in rural area. Components for evaluating sustainable transport include advanced vehicle technology to be used for road,
water, or air transport by using renewable and clean energy with the infrastructure
that should be able to accommodate the clean fuel-operated transport for roads,
