Mhlawumbi akukho nto iphoxayo njengokungena esixekweni okanye kwindawo okwesihlandlo sokuqala uze ubone izitrato ezigcwele inkunkuma, ukuthe saa kwedolophu, nokungabikho kohlaza. Inkangeleko yenkangeleko yoluntu ayichaphazeli nje kuphela indlela abantu basekuhlaleni nabatyeleli balo abalubona ngayo uluntu nomfanekiso walo kodwa kwanamandla oluntu okuzithengisa. Ukongeza, iindawo ezilungiswe kakuhle azihlali zikhuselekile kuphela, kodwa zikhuthaza abantu abasempilweni ngokwasemzimbeni. Kweli lizwe lisemva kobhubhani apho uluntu oluninzi luthwaxwe sisibetho se-Covid, ubuhle yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yemizamo yendawo yokunyusa imimoya kwaye iqale ukubuyela kwimeko yesiqhelo.
Uluntu olunethemba lokusebenzisa uhambo nokhenketho njengezixhobo zophuhliso loqoqosho luya kwenza kakuhle ukuba luthathele ingqalelo ezinye zezi ngongoma zilandelayo luze lusebenzele kungekuphela nje ukwenza iindawo zokuhlala luhlala luhlaza kodwa kwanezona ngongoma lukulo.
Ubuhle bokhenketho ayikokutyala iintyatyambo kuphela kunye nokwenza ubugcisa bokulungisa umhlaba. Kungaphezulu nje kokucoca inkunkuma echitha izitalato zoluntu, ikwayimfuneko kwizitalato ezikhuselekileyo kunye nophuhliso loqoqosho oluvumelana nemozulu. Izixeko ezisilelayo ukuyiqonda le ngongoma zihlawula kakhulu ngokuthi kufuneke zibuyekeze ukungabikho kobuhle bazo ngokuzama ukuzisa amashishini amatsha kunye nabemi abahlawula irhafu ngeepakethi zenkuthazo yezoqoqosho ezibizayo eziphantse zingaze ziphumelele. Kwelinye icala, izixeko eziye zathabatha ixesha lokuzihombisa ngokufuthi zinabantu abafuna ukubabona kwindawo abahlala kuyo.
Ubuhle kunceda iqumrhu lezokhenketho likhule ngokutsala abakhenkethi abaninzi, ngokubonelela ngelizwi elikhuthazayo ngomlomo, ukudala imeko-bume ekhuthazayo ethanda ukuphakamisa umoya wabasebenzi benkonzo, kwaye kudala ukuzingca kuluntu rhoqo okukhokelela ekuthotyweni kwamazinga olwaphulo-mthetho.
Ukuphucula inkangeleko yendawo kukwamalunga nendlela esiphatha ngayo abathengi bethu kunye nabemi esihlala nabo.
Ukukunceda ukuba ujongane neeprojekthi zokuhombisa nantsi izalathisi ekufuneka uziqwalasele.
-Jonga indawo yakho ngendlela abanye abanokubona ngayo. Ngamaxesha amaninzi siye siqhelane nokubaleka ngokwembonakalo, ukungcola, okanye ukunqongophala kweendawo eziluhlaza kangangokuba siye samkele le mbonakalo yamehlo njengenxalenye yokujonga umhlaba wethu wasezidolophini okanye wasemaphandleni. Thatha ixesha lokujonga indawo yakho ngeliso londwendwe. Ngaba kukho iindawo zokulahla kwindawo ecacileyo? Zigcinwa kakuhle kangakanani iingca? Ngaba uqokelela inkunkuma ngendlela ecocekileyo nesebenzayo? Ngaba iilori zakho zenkunkuma ziyawuphazamisa umgangatho wobomi boluntu okanye ngaba azinakratshi? Emva koko zibuze, ngaba ungathanda ukutyelela le ndawo?
-Ukungena kunye nokuphuma kubalulekile. Izimvo zabatyeleli zenziwe ngokuqala kunye nokugqibela. Ngaba ukungena kwakho kunye neendawo zokuphuma zintle okanye zizaliswe ziibhodi zezaziso okanye ezinye izinto zamehlo? Ezi portals kuluntu lwakho zibonelela abatyeleli ngomyalezo ongazi nto. Iindlela zokungena ezicocekileyo neziphumayo zibonisa ukuba lo mntu ungena kwindawo ekhathalayo, engenamibi kunye neendawo eziphumayo zibonisa ukuba olu luluntu olufuna imali yabakhenkethi kuphela. Thatha ixesha lokutyelela ukungena kwakho kunye nokuphuma kwaye emva koko uzibuze ukuba bashiya ntoni na?
-Ungalibali ukuba izikhululo zeenqwelo moya kunye nezinye iitheminali zothutho nazo zingamangeno kunye nokuphuma. Inkangeleko yezi ndawo nayo ibalulekile. Iitheminali ezininzi kakhulu zisebenza nje ngeyona ndlela ingcono kwaye zihlala zijongisa amehlo. Ngaba i-terminal inokwenziwa ithandeke ngakumbi ngokusetyenziswa komzobo wokudala, imibala kunye nezityalo?
-Bandakanya lonke uluntu/ummandla kwiiprojekthi zokuhombisa. Iindawo ezininzi kakhulu ziye zakholelwa ukuba ukuhombisa lishishini lomnye umntu. Ngelixa oorhulumente kufuneka babonelele ngenkxaso-mali kwiiprojekthi ezinkulu ezifana neendlela zokuhamba okanye ukwakhiwa ngokutsha kweendlela, kukho inkitha yeeprojekthi ezinokwenziwa ngabemi basekuhlaleni ngaphandle koncedo lukarhulumente. Phakathi kwezi kukutyalwa kweegadi, ukucocwa kweeyadi ezingaphambili, ukuphuhlisa iikona zezitrato ezinomdla, ukupeyinta iindonga ngobuchule, kunye/okanye ukutyala amatyholo okufihla iindawo zokulahla inkunkuma.
-Khetha iprojekthi enye okanye ezimbini ezinokuphumelela. Akukho nto iphumelela njengempumelelo, kwaye iiprojekthi zokuhombisa zibonisa okuninzi malunga noluntu lwangaphakathi njengembonakalo yangaphandle. Ukuba uluntu aluzithandi, oko kuya kubonakala ngendlela ekhangeleka ngayo kwiindwendwe kunye nabaphuhlisi bamashishini abanokubakho. Ngaphambi kokuba uqalise iprojekthi yokuhombisa, zibekele usukelo onokulufikelela uze uqinisekise ukuba abantu abaninzi kangangoko banomdla kulo msebenzi yaye bayayigatya ingcinga engafanelekanga. Iindawo ezintle ziqala ngemvisiswano yoluntu.
-Qinisekisa ukuba iiprojekthi zakho zobuhle zihambelana nemozulu yakho kunye nomhlaba. Impazamo enkulu kwiiprojekthi zobuhle kuzama ukuba yinto engeyiyo indawo. Ukuba unemozulu yasentlango, ke tyala ucinge ngokukhathazeka kwamanzi. Ukuba unemozulu ebandayo, ke ufune iindlela zokujongana nemozulu ebandayo yasebusika kuphela kodwa nangendlela yokubonisa ubuso obonwabileyo ngexesha leenyanga zasebusika ezingwevu.
-Cinga ubuhle njengenxalenye yephakheji yophuhliso loqoqosho. Khumbula ukuba inkuthazo yerhafu inokwenza kakhulu. Kungakhathaliseki ukuba yimalini enikezelwa luluntu ekuthotyweni kwerhafu kwimiba yobomi iya kuhlala inefuthe elikhulu apho abantu bakhetha ukuhlala kunye nokubeka amashishini abo. Ukhenketho lufuna ukuba uluntu lubonelele ngemekobume ecocekileyo nesempilweni, eneendawo zokutyela ezilungileyo neendawo zokulala, izinto zokuzonwabisa ezinokwenziwa kunye nenkonzo elungileyo yabathengi. Indlela uluntu lwakho olubonakala ngayo lunento yokwenza nokhetho olwenziwa ngabaphathi bamashishini malunga nokukhethwa kwendawo.
-Bandakanya amapolisa asekuhlaleni kunye neengcali zokhuseleko kucwangciso lweeprojekthi zobuhle zoluntu lwakho. Amava esiXeko saseNew York afanele ukubonisa kuye wonke umntu kwezokhenketho ukuba kukho unxibelelwano phakathi kwemiba esemgangathweni wobomi kunye nolwaphulo-mthetho. Umgaqo osisiseko ngowokuba njengoko uluntu lufuna iindlela zokuzihombisa, ulwaphulo-mthetho luyancipha, yaye imali esetyenziselwa ukulwa nolwaphulo-mthetho inokubhekiswa kwimiba yomgangatho wobomi. Nangona kukho izizathu ezininzi zokunyuka nokuhla kolwaphulo-mthetho lwaseNew York sinokuphawula ukuba xa iNew York yayicocekile kwaye ihonjiswe ulwaphulo-mthetho lwehla kwaye ngelishwa njengoko isixeko sasiba sihle kakhulu, inkunkuma yayishiywe ingaqokelelwa, kwaye i-graffiti yaba yingxaki yolwaphulo-mthetho. Umsebenzi wamapolisa uthande ukuba nentshukumo ngokwendalo; iiprojekthi zokuhombisa ziyasebenza. Ngelixa iibhedi ezintle zeentyatyambo kunye neebhodlwana ezinemigca emithini zingayi kuthintela lonke ulwaphulo-mthetho, ukususwa kwenkunkuma ezitalatweni, ingca emdaka kunye nezakhiwo ezimdaka kwenza lukhulu ukuthoba izinga lolwaphulo-mthetho.
-Ungaze ucebe iprojekthi yokuhombisa ngaphandle kokubonisana nomthetho wendawo kunye neengcali zokhuseleko. Njengokuba kubalulekile ukwenza ubuhle eluntwini, kukho iindlela ezichanekileyo nezingachanekanga zokukuphumeza. I-CPTED sisishunqulelo esimele uThintelo loLwaphulo-mthetho ngoYilo lweNdalo. Ngaphambi kokuba uqalise iprojekthi yokuhombisa soloko uqinisekisa ukuba ingcali ye-CPTED iyayihlola kwakhona iprojekthi.
-Ayikho yonke into ekufuneka yenziwe ngonyaka omnye. Ubuhle bubonakala buhamba kancinci kancinci kunotshintsho olukhawulezileyo. Musa ukuzama ukuphumeza okungaphezu kokuba uluntu lunokukwazi ukukwenza ngexeshana nje elifutshane. Ingcono iprojekthi enye eyimpumelelo kunothotho lweentsilelo ezingaphelelanga. Khumbula ukuba awutyali kuphela imbewu yeentyatyambo kodwa nembewu yotshintsho kunye nokukhula okulungileyo.

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- The physical appearance of a community impacts not only the way that both the local population and its visitors see the community and its image but also a community's ability to market itself.
- In this post pandemic world where so many communities have suffered from the plague of Covid, beautification is an essential part of a locale's efforts to lift spirits and begin to return to a state of normality.
- Clean entranceways and exits indicate that the person is entering a community that cares, ugly entranceways and exits indicate that this is a community that is seeking merely the visitors’.
