It is beyond the scope of this paper to review the various connections at the intersect of humanity and the natural environment. The model combines theoretical concepts and methodological approaches from those research fields examined in this review, to facilitate a deeper understanding of the intricacies involved for improving human health. From this, a developing conceptual model is proposed, to be inclusive of the human-centered perspective of health, viewing animals and the wider environment within the context of their relationship to humans. These concepts will be converged to identify areas of overlap as well as existing research on the potential health impacts in relation to humanity’s degree of relationship to nature and lifestyle choices. It begins by reviewing the each of their concepts and methodological approaches. This article reviews the interconnectivities between the human–nature relationship and human health. Further attention to the complexities of these aspects, interlinkages, processes, and relations is required for a deeper sense of understanding and causal directions to be identified ( 19). In part this is due to the challenges of the already complex research base in relation to its concept, evidence base, measurement, and strategic framework. Each, however, have not fully incorporated all relevant dimensions, balancing between the biological, social, and spatial perspectives ( 17, 18). These include the Environment of Health ( 11), the Mandala of Health ( 12), the Wheel of Fundamental Human Needs ( 13), the Healthy Communities ( 14), the One Health ( 15), and the bioecological systems theory ( 16). Since the late nineteenth century a number of descriptive models have attempted to encapsulate the dimensions of human and ecosystem health as well as their interrelationships. Such connection has underpinned a host of theoretical and empirical research in fields, which until now have largely remained as separate entities. Of these examples, the impacts of the human–nature relationship on people’s health have grown with interest as evidence for a connection accumulates in research literature ( 10). Some examples of these include humans’ preference for scenes dominated by natural elements ( 4), the sustainability of natural resources ( 5, 6), and the health benefits associated with engaging with nature ( 7– 9). It is argued that using an interdisciplinary perspective can facilitate a deeper understanding of the complexities involved for attaining optimal health at the human–environmental interface.ĭuring the last century, research has been increasingly drawn toward understanding the human–nature relationship ( 1, 2) and has revealed the many ways humans are linked with the natural environment ( 3).
Combining these concepts, the human–nature relationship and its impact on human’s health are then explored through a developing conceptual model. The concept and chronological history of “health” is then explored, based on the World Health Organization’s definition. This article begins by reviewing the debates concerning the human–nature relationship, which are then critiqued and redefined from an interdisciplinary perspective. However, to examine whether there is a link requires research of its breadth and underlying mechanisms from an interdisciplinary approach. Within the past four decades, research has been increasingly drawn toward understanding whether there is a link between the changing human–nature relationship and its impact on people’s health.
