Passage 1
(2023·全国Ⅱ卷)As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find.If you're lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it's unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.
Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human wellbeing.
The research team focused on a large urban park.They surveyed several hundred parkgoers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park.The researchers then examined these submissions, coding(编码) experiences into different categories.For example, one participant's experience of “We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the categories “sitting at beach” and “listening to waves.”
Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language” began to emerge.After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors.These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.
Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them.For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park.Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.
“We're trying to generate a language that helps bring the humannature interactions back into our daily lives.And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study.
