Abstract

This paper analyzed the relationships between children's behavior and street environments while returning home from school. Through plotting the course of children's way home and the point of contact with street features by children, and also taking pictures, we examined how children showed playful activities on the street. The main conclusions of this study are as follows: 1) When children are returning home from school, street environments provide opportunities for children to play. 2) The degree of children's playful involvement varies among different street environments. 3) Street features which stand out, have discrepancy in height, contain movable objects attract children's playful activities. 4) Changes created by locomotion provide playing affordances.
