What we think: Installation of Barriers

Looking at this particular situation, it is evident that there is a bit of confusion when it comes to the intention of the plan and the actual execution of it. The main purpose of introducing these barriers and spikes is to prevent unnecessary commotion and chaos within the limited spaces of the HBDs. This leaves the residents with no areas to relax, engage in sports and other activities as their actions and movements have become restricted if not curtailed.

As a group, we have looked at this problem, and come up with a very basic solution. That is, to keep this plan, but make a very small change in its execution. Out of all the free areas of the HBDs,the barriers and spikes can be allocated to different parts. Firstly, the free spaces have to be segregated - some for physical activities that require a lot of movement, some for the elderly people to socialise and relax, some for calm activities such as mild exercise, yoga, tai chi, etc.

Once this task has been completed, then the insertion of the barriers and spikes can be done. Now it will be much easier to decide where they should belong. The areas that do not allow rough physical activities and a lot of movement should incorporate them. This way, all the residents are catered to, all activities are allowed and everyone will be satisfied.
