When building and updating zones, the zone makers should follow the [[Zone Guidelines]].
 
 
A zone is supposed to be a special place that that gives a value to the user. This is accomplished in different ways, but it is important to understand that a zone is not just something we throw out anywhere without thinking.
 
 
 
We accomplish this in different ways: by giving the zone a unique and good name, by placing the zone in a beautiful/well known/well defined place.
 
 
 
For example, zones in a beautiful park, near a train station or in the town square are good placed zones. Another type of zone is a zone that connects to other zones, a transit/filling zone if you like. This kind of zone may not always be beautiful, but it has another type of value for the turfer.
 
 
 
 
 
=== Size/Structure: ===
 
 
 
Mobile GPS is not always very accurate.
 
Therefore the zones should be about 25meters X 25 meters to allow for some GPS error. However the size of the zone may be adjusted to fit the area where it is placed.
 
 
 
When placing zones, for example in a park and close to a walking path/bicycle road the zone should include the path/bicycle road. This is to avoid the destruction of the communitys grass areas. If the zone is placed further away (~30 meters or more) from a path, perhaps on a small hill or around a huge old tree, the zone will not be moved to the closest path/road.
 
 
 
It is important to remember that the zones should normally be accessible during all seasons (a few exceptions are ok). But this doesn't mean that all zones should be easy to take.
 
 
 
 
 
=== Naming: ===
 
 
 
As said before the name is very important.
 
The relation to the geographical location is the key in naming the zone. Jokes or "smart" names/translations are okay.
 
 
 
The local language may be used, even englishified if appropriate.
 
 
 
==== Good names are: ====
 
 
 
-GlobeZone
 
-FaluPlaza
 
-BirdsongZone (next to the street Fågelsångsvägen)
 
 
 
==== Bad names/names with upper/lowercase letters wrong used are: ====
 
 
 
-E4anskullezone
 
-Footballzone
 
-1337ZoNe
 
 
 
=== FOLLOWING TYPE OF ZONE SHOULD BE REPORTED IMMEDIATELY ===
 
 
 
Zones inside or very close to kindergartens.
 
 
 
Zones placed at schools (grades 0-9) and playgrounds should have a safety distance to avoid creepy effects. For example a zone next to a playground is ok, but not inside it.
 
 
 
Zones placed in graveyards/churchyards on the actual graves or in memorials.
 
 
 
Zones in fotball/sport fields placed on the actual turf or track.
 
 
 
Places that are dangerous for example train rails.
 
 
 
Private areas for example inside high fences of a power plant or someones private backyard.
 
 
 
Places that cost a lot of money to access (a few exceptions are ok) or are accessible only by a few persons like someones workplace.

Zone makers is a part of Turf Crew. They build zones, accept zone suggestion, take care of zone reports and is spreading Turf around the world.

Zone makers may not lay out zones in the municipalities in which they themselves are most active.

Active zone makers[edit]

In January 2021, Turf Crew consists of 21 Zone makers including Zone General and Country Organizers.

Resting or inactive zone makers[edit]

There is also an unofficial waiting list where we recruit from when new zone makers are needed. If you want to become a zone maker, send a pm to the Zone General and tell him why you want to and why you would fit.

When building and updating zones, the zone makers should follow the Zone Guidelines.
