Terraikon
YET ANOTHER CONCEPT?
Not really its a way of integrating many existing ideas
about people, the world we live in, and how we develop. There are four main aims:
to show how you and other people connect
to visualise all resources and how they interact to provide a framework for understanding issues and
devising solutions
to do all this clearly and simply (but not too simply!) First some text to set the scene
then the graphics to visualise it...

Terraikon setting the framework
WHO ARE PEOPLE? The Terraikon model starts with you at the centre. Development of the world should be carried out
by people for people people first!Your role in doing this is critical. If we want an Earth (terra)that will support us,
then we must first understand
how we behave and what we believe. The companion Octaikon model
that represents you, body and soul,provides the framework for this.This is explained on the website:www.octaikon.co.ukin particular, see the link toOkki Stuff educational resources.

WHAT ARE RESOURCES?The Terraikonmodel views the world
as made up of resourcesHere are some definitionsof what resources are,all relevant to the model:
Means of supplying a want (or need) Stock (or asset) that can be drawn upon
Countrys collective means of support
Possibility of aid Skill in devising expedients
Practical ingenuity

Terraikon setting the framework
TYPES OF RESOURCE Materialresources can be grouped into three types
Natural resources:everything in nature, but excluding people
Human resources:people - the whole human population
Produced resources:everything that people make / manufacture /produce from nature
and there are also spiritualresources The realm of faith and religions -spiritual phenomena.
Many people would say that that the whole world isboth material and spiritual, especially ourselves.

Terraikon setting the framework
RESOURCE INTERACTIONSInteractions between and within all resources are complex.In the case of material resources, remember that Resources are dynamic
and always changing Each type of resource
has internal functionsandprocesses Resources exertpressureon each other,eliciting a responseand changes in their state.
Resources provide inputs/outputs
(goods and services) to other resources.We must understand how these interactions work
if we are to manage resources and keep them in balance.
And now for the graphics A. Marcus J. Robbins 2008

Terraikon relating to the real world
How people interface with the worldThis is the most complex aspect of the model!
The interface of the Octaikon model of a personwith the Terraikon model of the world
needs some explanation. Each of our four main faculties interrelate equally
with the three material resources.We observe, interpret, express and actin relation to our natural, social and economic environments.
To understand these connexions, see: www.octaikon.co.uk

Terraikon relating to the real worldIn reality there are no clear-cut boundaries
The three typesoverlap and merge
and they can form acomplex matrix
Sometimes it is not easy to distinguish between material resources.
and it is even more difficult
to imagine different patternsof spiritual resources! A. Marcus J. Robbins 2008

The Making a Livingmodel(Robbins)
This model is similar to the Livelihoods Approach, but usesthe Terraikon resources and components more closely.
It divides the way we make a living into four components: the resources available for making a living the way of making a living the situation in which a living is made
the standard of living achieved

In the Terraikon, the spiritual or supernatural dimension isrepresented by the grid.

you cannot keep them separate. A. Marcus J. Robbins 2008

Dynamics of spiritual resourcesThe grid shows thatspiritual resources
are thought of as beingpresent everywhere,connecting everything
and everybody.There are
causes and effects
within and betweenpeople, nature and things,
in ways that we canonly begin to understand.

A religion or faith can be defined as:a system of attitudes, beliefs, and practices
usually relating to supernatural or superhuman beings or forcesthat transcend the everyday material world.
There are many ways of classifying religions or faiths...

Terraikon visualising balance
7/31/2019 Terraikon
32/72
The Terraikon can be used in different ways to show balance of resources,(varying angle, radius, or proportion). The method used will depend on the
units measured, and on what type of balance is to be visualised.Here are some possible ways of doing this:
