Amir Haghjou, Nalan Demircioğlu Yıldız
Abstract
Research in the field of urban spaces, particularly playgrounds for children, is an essential, since the Iranian
city experienced undesired developments after the transition from tradition to modernity, which many of
them have remained on the living body of the city and culture of Iranians. It is seen in many cases that
environments for children are constructed without considering their basic needs. A good urban environment
for children is an environment that meets their expectations, communicates reasonably with them, and
satisfies their needs. In this study, we aim to examine the environmental factors from the psychological
perspective and investigate the impact of these factors on choosing a suitable location at the urban level for
entertainment of children in order to create an environment in which the children will have a sense of
belonging and comfort. The results of this research were presented as architectural strategies to meet the
needs of children in some extent by using these strategies. Research methodology was analytical and library
method was used to collect data
