The Gyurufu community is a self-organising, autonomous, independent
group of very different people who are linked by a comon goal of living
in an ecological community. Gyurufu does not highlight any religious or
spiritual aspect, and people here tend to think that these types of issues
belong to the private realm of every person. One of the main contributions
has been a special emphasis on information technology and telecommunication
in order to offset more harmful technologies. The distribution
of manual and intellectual labour takes place not only among the
different people, but within the activities of individuals as well.
Problem solving is usually done by consensus; in the lack of it, a majority
vote is applied (this seldom happens). There is a clear distinction between
the foundation as a legal body and the community as the people actively
participating in the project. Much effort has been put into the development
of a set of by-laws, which still needs final endorsement. The community
has no appointed leader, the foundation and the companies do.
