In some countries, more and more people are becoming interested in finding out about the history of the house or building they live in. What are the reasons for this? How can people research this?
Researching the history of the house or building is becoming more popular in several countries. In my opinion,
this
might be due to safety reasons and local beliefs, while neighbourhoods and former residents could help find out the answers.
Some people
may feel unsafe residing in their own homes without knowing what had happened to them before. Firstly
, the structure could be damaged if there were some incidents such
as fires or droughts, and those events may reoccur. Another concern is due to criminal records. That is
to say, residents may want to make sure that no thefts and murders have happened before in the area.
Another possible reason is that in some countries, there are strong local beliefs about houses. For instance
, in China, people
believe that the places they live in can influence their success in the future. To give a clearer picture, areas that are located next
to rivers are highly popular because they think that it represents the flow of money.
The best way to find out what their houses were like in the past is to ask their neighbourhoods or people
who lived there before. By talking to them, residents can ask them the questions they are curious about directly in detail. In addition
, they could also
search through the internet, which is the largest free source available. There should be some news if some harmful incidents have presented in the past.
In conclusion, people
may want to find out if their homes are safe to live in, while some may have personal beliefs about the houses. To find out more about the history, they should seek help from local people
or find more information online.Submitted by boon.aksornukul on
