The Simunye rural development project helps benefit the community in more than one way. Firstly it allows the people to learn how proper houses are mad for maximum security, safety etc. also giving the people educational value which they can use for maybe becoming a builder (jobs!). Anyways also gives the people housing at a very cheap rate, seeing that no building company is needed or sometimes even no bricks needed, allowing many more houses to be built from the same funds. It also prevents riots, because maybe if government built houses could leak or not fit to the person’s style of interest making them angry and eventually some people could die. It allows them to pick their own style and if something’s wrong with the house they can only blame themselves. Developing the rural areas also benefits the country seeing as this improves the country's HDI, also making the country's economical system much stronger. This is also sustainable develoopment because it can be used in the future and help the people move more possitively into the future (jobs-money). AnyWay, for me, IS the solution for poverty!

1. Explain what you understand the concept "development" means.

Development is the upgrading of an area, in different ways such as bigger population, newer technology etc.
2. List FIVE indicators that can be used to measure the level of development of countries

HDI, GDP, LIFE EXPECTENCY, GNI PER PERSON, CHILD MORTALITY 
3. In a table, compare the characteristics of a "developed" and "less-developed" countries.

Developed	Less-developed
A lot of people in a large enough area	Less people but in a very cramped area
Tar roads, a lot of cars, trains, planes, boats	Ground roads, less cars, no trains,-planes, and only fishing boats

HIGH EMPLOYMENT, A LOT OF MEDICAL ACCESS ; ; ; LOWER EMPLOYMEN, LESS MEDICAL ACCESS
4. When using economy of countries to compare the level of development we can also refer to these countries as a "LEDC" and "MEDC". Explain these two abbreviations.

LEDC- Less Economically Developed Country…MEDC- More Economically Developed Country
5. Explain why it is better to use the Human Development Index (HDI) to classify countries as developed or   less-developed.

Since some countries have are LEDC but still have a good job/jobless rate
5. By studying Figure 1 and Figure 2 answer the following questions.
5.1. Is there a correlation between the countries in Figure 1 and Figure 2?

Yes
5.2. Give a possible reason for this.

With the weakest HDI the countries economics and job rates are low, causing poverty, which causes the low life expectancy
5.3. Give THREE possible reasons for the countries listed in Figure 2 to have a lows ranking.

People have low life expectancy because of dirty water, no food, shelter or maybe even clothes; Less education for people; Less Medical support is also a problem since most docter/nurses etc. die young.
5.4. Most people in these countries live as subsistance farmers. What is subsistance farming?

When they farm just enough to survive(feed themselves) not enough to sell.
5.5. What are the greatest needs for people in subsistance communities in order to "develop"?

To plant more than they need, to sell some and make extra money to plant even more etc.
6. Explain the concept "sustainable development”

There will always be development; maybe not a lot but it develops
7. In order for countries to develop sustainably the UN has identified 8 Millenium Goals. List these goals.
