PIMFY and NIMBY

When selecting a location, when deciding where to live, among the many factors, the preferences for the surroundings are considered. 

 A NIMBY/ PIMFY phenomenon will happen depending on what is built. Before selecting a location, there needs to be objective cooperation to minimize friction between residents. So everything can run smoothly.

The PIMFY phenomenon is short for “Please In My Front Yard” and refers to things that people want to have near their home. These facilities include general hospitals, schools, police stations, town halls, parks, department stores, hotels, etc. The NIMBY phenomenon, on the other hand, is the abbreviated word for “Not In My Backyard”. This refers to the things that residents don’t want near their homes. Such facilities include landfills and incinerators, nuclear waste treatment plants, Morgues and crematoriums, pollution factories and quarry sites.
