Abstract

Global population increase has caused increased demand in automobile use and the shipment of used automobiles (Second hand) from the industrialized to the developing regions of the world. As a result, many developing countries now opt for auto mechanic village as against the citywide auto mechanic workshop practice because of the numerous advantages. The very poor standard and unsustainable setting of these mechanic villages cause environmental degradation leading to global change. This paper presents a total of 24 features and criteria that enabled AutoCAD design of an environmentally friendly mechanic village. Environmentally friendly mechanic village will improve environmental quality across developing countries of the world this century.

Summary

Introduction

A mechanic village represents several acres of land mapped out for automobile mechanics, where automobile owners must go for repairs and services to their motor vehicles. Friendly mechanic village will serve as a base for the transfer of emission testing technology in developing countries, and provide emission testing services to motorists. This will make the enforcement and supervision of automobile emission testing possible in many developing countries, thereby providing the bases for developing countries to integrate climate change responses. It provides temporary storage for the final end of life vehicles. Used motor oil is recyclable and marketable, and the administrative, the economic and the informative tools are affordable and available at this time
