| dc.description.abstract | The intent of this study is both to underline the link between natural environment and the physical surround to man's activities, and to clarify the concept "planning" relative to their relationship. On the other hand, the broad scale nature of this thesis is intended to point out attitudes and procedures which it is felt should be adopted when specific detailed investigation is undertaken. Man, on the whole, has not yet tended to organise the earth, for benefit to his emotive environment on the larger scale. He has used it to obtain raw materials, crops for himself and fodder for his animals; but besides that, he has been satisfied with the incidental benefits which may or may not have accrued to his environment, and he has been content with the development of towns and the relatively small-scale oases of private gardens, parks or nature reserves. The need for contact with nature on both an intimate and a broader scale reverts to the elemental aspect of man as a part of, and a product of, nature. Due to the need for security , economic and social factors, man has tended to live in groups. Human settlements have traditionally displayed an apparent pattern of a system of nodes with functional linkages. More and more, man has been humanising the world outside these nodes, and through technological advances is now in a position to familiarise himself with this broader scale and to establish an almost daily contact for his emotional needs. | |
