Connectedness to nature in the mirror of time
Werner Nohl
The provision, design,
and
protection
of nature belong to the basic objectives of landscape
architecture,
landscape planning,
and nature conservation. But how much nature makes landscape,
how much nature do
people need
in their everyday environment? In what forms is nature preferred and
offered?
How ist nature perceived? What values are tied to nature? How are
understanding
of and responsibility for nature expressed? Under what conditions do
people
engage for more nature? How is it possible to initiate nature nursing
behavior?
Who protects actively nature, who ignores it? How can nature be
preserved for
coming generation? In
order to be able
to consider such and other nature related questions in planning
tasks,
the following
paper tries to find out what people understand by
nature, at all, and to what degree they feel connected to
nature.
Since comparable investigations with the same
questionaire were carried
out in 1972 as well as in 1986, the development of the mental
attitude
“connectedness
to nature” can traced back within a period of 40 years. The results
show that
today the feeling of connectedness to nature is evidently not that
strong as it
was 25 years ago, and that connectedness to nature got the big push
of
development in the last quarter of the 20th century.
