ARPI (aesthetic value, recreation and adventure, physical and emotional well-being, intrinsic value)
aesthetic value
is a judgement of value based on the appearance of an object and the emotional responses it causes. Artists such as Fredrick McCubbin ( The pioneer) All these people have used their experiences in outdoor environments to produce works that have affected our lives in some way.
recreation and adventure
○ Phillip Island is a healthy outdoor environment that provides opportunities for many different types of recreation from passive (painting, bird watching) to active and challenging (surfing, bushwalking, sea kayaking).
○ These environments provide opportunities for individuals to escape the pressures of everyday life.
○ Individuals need healthy outdoor environments as a place to undertake challenging activities and achieve goals through positive risk-taking behaviours.
○ Social activities such as picnics, camping, bushwalking and skiing all contribute to individual development and rely on healthy outdoor environments for their sustainability. A flow on effect to society of these activities is the creation of employment in a number of industries.

‘Healthy Parks, healthy people’ - Parks VIC commissioned Deakin University to research the human health benefits of contact with
nature. The findings showed that access to nature, plays a vital role in human health, wellbeing and development.
intrinsic value
healthy environments exist of their own accord and are important to
society for these intrinsic values. The creation of
National Parks and World Heritage listing of
specific areas acknowledges this.
The intrinsic values recognise that it is important
for outdoor environments to exist for future
generations and for the benefit of the flora and
fauna that make up these areas.
Intrinsic value of an outdoor environment means
that it is valued for what it is rather than what it can
provide.
