Navigating nature,culture and education in contemporary botanic gardens

Increasingly, humans are an urban species prone to ‘plant blindness’. This demographic shift and situation has implications for both individual and collective perceptions of nature, as well as for addressing ‘ecophobia’ and encouraging ‘biophilia’ through education. Contemporary humanity occupies a world in which extensive physical change, both in the landscape and its related organisms, is occurring . Education-related debates on these issues links to the noted phenomenon of a ‘bubble wrap generation’ growing up within ‘nature-deficit’ childhoods in ‘megalopolitan cities’. Indeed, some commentators consider that 'nature has already disappeared' and exists only in protected spaces. Such perceptions have consequences for education in ‘presented world’ settings such as zoos, botanic gardens and natural history museums. This editorial, and its associated collection of papers, considers the critical relationships between nature, culture and education in contemporary botanic gardens and the ways in which visitors navigate their journeys, as demonstrated by research.     

渝派地产与川派地产之比较

渝派地产以重庆主城区楼盘为代表,川派地产以成都地产为代表。重庆地形起伏大,城市发展速度迅猛,生活节奏较快;天府之国的成都平原地形平坦,城市发展悠久,生活比较悠闲。城市地域差异导致渝派地产与川派地产之间在楼盘建筑风格、地产商发展模式、建筑布局、高端住宅设计意向以及地产规划等方面都存在着一定的差异。无论是渝派地产的"山水特色",还是川派地产的"田园风格",都旨在为居民提供一个舒适的生活环境,为城市构建一个协调的布局,最终实现城市与自然的和谐发展。     

中国古典园林中“隔”的艺术

中国古典园林是中华文化孕育出来的一颗璀璨明珠,它与诗歌、绘画等姊妹艺术一道把缥缈难踪的道家思想具体化为静、深、远的诗意空间,充分满足了文人士大夫对山水林泉的热切渴求与畅神悦意的精神需求。古典园林这种可行、可望、可游、可居的理想空间的营造与隔的艺术手法的运用密不可分。"隔"的作用表现为:"隔"以求静、达深、致远。

Learning at eco-attractions: Exploring the bifurcation of nature and culture through experiential environmental education

ABSTRACT

This article explores informal environmental education (EE) experiences at eco-attractions. A consortium of three UK-based environmental charities designed an eco-attraction-based EE program aiming to inspire responses to environmental change. Over six months, educators at six eco-attractions delivered this two-day program to 430 young people. This article conveys qualitative insights into learning experiences at three participating eco-attractions. The study illustrates that experiential learning at eco-attractions provided unique opportunities to explore nature-culture connections. The program also appeared to enable novel confrontations of current ecological crises, including climate change. Furthermore, the experience influenced some young people's perceptions of how such crises might affect their futures.
