Résumé

This paper relates the emergence of a concept of the intensity of human activities as a way to explain the interest of nature-based activities. This concept emerged through attempts to solve a paradox I faced after my lifestyle evolved over a few decades, from a modern lifestyle made up of work and leisure, to a hybrid one including a significant proportion of direct living from nature: although I felt my life had improved, the comments I faced indicated it was considered non-rational. Attempts to solve this paradox resulted in a grounded model highlighting the reasons why I felt the change was, on the contrary, totally rational. The core of the explanation relies on a concept of the intensity of human activities, defined as the diversity of needs satisfaction resulting from their time use. Nature-based activities are usually intense activities, as they satisfy multiple needs, such as nature needs, physical activity, and free creativity. Some of these needs were previously satisfied by specific activities, usually performed successively, and mediated by work. This was time-consuming and addressed few needs simultaneously. On the contrary, the intensity of a hybrid nature-based lifestyle was more fulfilling and time-efficient. The first part is a narrative of the evolution of my lifestyle and highlights the event which triggered the change and the following evolutions. I conclude this part with the paradox I faced and solve it in the second part with a model of needs satisfaction based on time use and the ensuing concept of intensity of human activities.
