| Description | The study deals with human relationship to nature and the positive influence nature has on quality of life. It consists of quantitative and qualitative research survey. The re - search was based on a study with 171 respondents aged 18 - 25 years. The quantitative part of research focuses on mapping of relationship between connectedness to nature and life satisfaction, meaningfulness of life, rumination, reflection, actual level of the contact with nature and the location where respondents grew up most of their childhood (rural, suburban, urban). Obtained data were analyzed by both parametric and distribution-free tests. The results besides other things show that the level of connectedness to nature cor - relates moderately strong with reflection and they both together predict meaningfulness of life independently of the influence of life satisfaction. In the qualitative research, we give answers to question what nature can mean to young people. |
