Earth self-regulating mechanisms: reading permaculture into the suburban environment. Sinha, M. M. Master's thesis, UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH, Guelph, USA, 2011. abstract bibtex Suburban sprawl, while consuming half of this country's best agricultural land, represents an unsustainable land use pattern, yet it continues to be the norm for how land is developed with half the Canadian population railing 'suburbia' home. Permaculture is an alternative form of land use management that works with nature rather than against it. Earth self- regulating mechanisms drawn from the permaculture literature signify ecosystem health. Community design principles, identified from a case study, represent core attributes of sustainable urbanism. Merging earth self-regulating mechanisms with community design principles forms a matrix that was applied to the suburban part of the landscape gradient for a site in Guelph, Ontario. This application might enhance the sustainability of the suburban zone of the landscape gradient. This study seeks to establish a model for understanding how permaculture could be integrated into the suburban built environment as a way of maintaining ecosystem health and enhancing sustainability.
