Valuing Landscapes and Landforms
Why do people value landscapes and landforms?
There are four main reasons why people value landscapes.
They are:
- Cultural value
-Aesthetic value
- Spiritual value
- Economic value
Cultural Value
Cultural value is linked to the importance of landforms and landscapes as expressed by people through creative means such as poetry, literature, art and films. Indigenous Australians express the importance of the land through song, dance ad art.
Spiritual Value
Landscapes can have special significance for some people. Many Aboriginal and Torres Strati Islander people, recognise that features of the landscapes such as rivers, mountains and even trees have spiritual value. Sacred sites and Dreaming are both examples of spiritual value.
Economic Value
Economic value is a measurement of how fi nancially important landscapes and landforms are. Economic value is particularly relevant to the tourism and mining industries in Australia. For example the Great Barrier Reef has an economic value of $7 billion.
Aesthetic Value
Refers to the attractiveness, uniqueness or beauty of a landscape. This is subjective, and everyone has differing opinions.

Extension: Fraser Island
EAR PHONES REQUIRED
K’gari is an interactive documentary that debunks one of Australia’s first fake news stories by exposing the largely untold Aboriginal version of events. In 1836 a ship hit a reef north of Brisbane. British castaway, Eliza Fraser, was rescued by the Butchulla women on nearby island, ‘K’gari’. When Eliza returned to England, she claimed to have been ‘entrapped’ by ‘savage’ Butchulla people. Her story became a global media sensation. The island was renamed ‘Fraser Island’. This interactive uses technology to reframe history: the user must take action to destroy and reject Eliza’s false account and amplify Fiona’s narrative.
Individually, students are to watch the Interactive Documentary K’gari available using the following link: http://www.sbs.com.au/kgari/
Answer the questions from the booklet in your exercise book.
