Present Status and Issues of Knowledge and Consciousness Concerning Familiar Nature

了解环境并对我们熟悉的环境产生兴趣,对于察知环境问题并采取恰当的行动非常重要.本文涉及作者以往参与的几个研究实例,介绍关于身边自然环境和农作物的知识、认知、经验.在对花草游憩活动的调查中表明,人们使用植物进行的活动逐渐减少.对于外来植物的调查显示,许多人无法识别外来植物.在一项父母对于蔬菜的态度和经验的调查中表明,能够自发栽种蔬菜的人并不多,而父母对蔬菜的经验和意识可能会影响他们的孩子.基于上述结果得出,自然体验活动需要成年人提供适当的支持,并且有必要在家庭和社区中增加成年人的参与机会.

It is important to know and be interested in our familiar environments so as to identify environmental problems and take appropriate actions.In this article,I have introduced several examples of researches on the knowledge,consciousness and experience of familiar natural environments and crops.The survey of recreational activities with flowers and plants showed that people are less involved with plants in such activities.The survey on alien plants showed that many people are unable to identify alien plants.The survey on parent’s awareness and experience of vegetables showed that few would plant vegetables voluntarily,and parent’s experience and consciousness about vegetables may affect their children.With these results,I believe that nature experience activities require appropriate support from the adult,and it is necessary to increase the opportunities for adults to participation in the activities at home and in their communities.
