Christiansen et al (2005) and Kielhofner’s model of human occupation<br />
(MOHO) (Kielhofner, 2002). The relationships between people,<br />
environments, and occupations are dynamic and complex. Each person<br />
has her or his personal characteristics; environments are unique, and the<br />
meanings and value of occupations vary (Christiansen et al, 2005).The<br />
PEOP model can be used to describe the interaction of these elements<br />
within green care interventions.<br />
PEOP is a client-centred model aimed at improving the everyday<br />
performance of necessary and valued occupations and meaningful<br />
participation. The model identifies factors relevant to occupational<br />
performance and participation and can therefore be used to target areas for<br />
therapeutic intervention. The model consists of four elements: what people<br />
want or need to do in their daily living (occupation), the act of doing the<br />
occupation (performance), and the personal (person) and environmental<br />
(environment) factors which support, enable, or restrict the performance<br />
of the activities, tasks, and roles. All of these elements put together lead to<br />
occupational performance and participation (Figure 5.1).<br />

The model is based on a belief that people will demonstrate mastery<br />
(human agency) within their world. To meet their personal needs,<br />
individuals must be competent enough to effectively use the available<br />
resources within their living environment. Another postulate of the
