Study On Natural Education Design Strategy Of Rural Special Gardens

In recent years,solving the problem of children’s "nature deficiency" and building nature education camps are important social issues.The countryside has become an important nature education place due to its abundant natural resources and geographical advantages.At the same time,with the advancement of beautiful villages and the rise of domestic flower tourism,special rural gardens that combine flower sightseeing and countryside have emerged as the times require,becoming an important form of contemporary leisure agriculture.Rural special gardens have unique natural resources and are ideal natural classrooms.Introducing the concept of nature education into the construction of rural special gardens can not only expand the natural education places and increase the well-being of the people;secondly,it will increase the attractiveness of the park and promote rural revitalization.However,at present,there are few researches on the nature education of rural special gardens,and no system has been formed.Therefore,it is of great significance to the research on the natural education of rural special gardens.The article firstly conducts a domestic and foreign review,definition of relevant concepts,theoretical basis,and excellent case studies on rural specialized gardens and nature education;and conducts field research and in-depth interviews with managers of four rural specialized gardens around Nanjing to summarize nature education issues.Secondly,through literature analysis,expert consultation and other methods,combined with the principle of structural equation model,to build a natural education system for rural special gardens,and set a structural equation conceptual model.Then,four rural special gardens in Nanjing were selected as the empirical sampling sites to conduct a questionnaire survey on tourists,to obtain basic data,and to test the reliability and validity of the questionnaire through SPSS software to eliminate the items that did not meet the title;AMOS software was used to conduct structural validity and convergence effects.Degree analysis was carried out to confirm that the structural equation model was well fitted,and the weights of the influencing factors of natural education were calculated through the model.Finally,according to the importance of the influencing factors,focusing on the four elements of nature education activities,nature education explanation,nature education landscape,and nature education space,put forward a focused design strategy,and take Nanjing Liuhe Peony Garden as an example for practical application.The research results of the article are:(1)Construction of the natural education system for specialized gardens in rural areas: A specialized rural garden with 24 observation variables was constructed with four elements as latent variables: nature education landscape,nature education activities,nature education space,and nature education explanation.Natural education system,and built a structural equation model with this system.(2)The importance of the influencing factors of natural education in rural special gardens was clarified.The results showed that the relative importance of natural education activity elements,interpretation elements,landscape elements,and space elements decreased in order.On the 6 factor levels of nature education activity elements,type richness,activity safety,activity mode participation and continuity have higher weights;on the 6 factor levels of nature education explanation elements,the explanation information is perfect and scientific,and the explanation content is easy to understand In terms of 7 factors of natural education landscape elements,the richness of flowers and plants,the richness of water system terrain and landscape,the interest of site traffic flow lines,the richness of animals,and the affinity of structures and environmental protection are relatively weighted.;At the five factor levels of natural education space and place elements,place type richness,place cultural uniqueness,and place sensory experience richness have higher weights.The importance of the above factors provides scientific support for the determination of natural education design strategies.(3)Summarized the natural education design strategies of rural special gardens: Based on the data analysis results,focusing on four elements,a focused design strategy was proposed.At the level of nature education activities,we should first pay attention to organizing diverse activities to benefit the public;take preventive measures to eliminate potential safety hazards;innovate and participate in links,and give full play to subjective initiative.At the level of natural education interpretation elements,we should focus on in-depth exploration of resources and improve interpretation information;concise interpretation of copywriting to ensure easy to understand;improve interpretation facilities and increase tourist interaction.At the level of natural education landscape elements,attention should be paid to enriching flower and plant landscapes,improving water system terrain landscapes,enriching road design,increasing animal experience,and strengthening the friendly and environmentally friendly design of structures.At the level of natural education space elements,the primary focus is to enrich the types of venues and enhance the vitality of the venues;to dig deep into the culture to reflect the regional characteristics;to mobilize the senses of tourists and provide a rich experience.Through the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods,it provides scientific theoretical guidance and strategic reference for the development of nature education in rural special gardens.
