DESCRIPTION:Literature indicates that contact with nature significantly co
 ntributes to psychological\, physiological and social benefits for humans.
  At the same time relatively little is known about the intangible benefits
  that come from the nature experience and what aspects of the experience c
 ontribute to these benefits. These issues are poorly understood especially
  in respect to Australia's Indigenous populations. Thus\, the focus of my 
 PhD is to explore the intangible benefits that relate to nature and their 
 role in health\, well-being and social capital\, with a particular focus o
 n Indigenous people.\n\nThe goal of the work is to gain a deeper understan
 ding of the intangible benefits that nature affords. This study focuses on
  three separate nature experiences\; 1. Community gardening. 2. Indigenous
  land management in Victoria\, Australia. 3. Development of a well-being t
 ool measuring the benefit of contact with nature with people in the UK com
 pared to Australia.
