Research On Children’s Outdoor Activity Space Design Based On Behavior Psychology

Children like playing by their nature.When they are playing,they can develop their intelligence and physical strength at the same time.Children can also develop their creativity,responsibilities and the spirit of cooperation when they do outdoor activities.Children’s outdoor activities spaces in cities universally include squares,parks,residential communities,streets and so forth.For children,these places are what children are often in and are more convenient for children to arrive at.However,a lot of unfavorable factors now have caused a shortage of qualified children’s outdoor activities spaces,and the major reason is that at present stage,children outdoor activities spaces can not fully satisfy children’s needs,and even can not benefit children’s mental and physical development.In order to make outdoor activities spaces satisfy children of different ages and to enable children to do various outdoor activities in better ways,it is necessary to do more explorations and researches about the design of children’s outdoor activities spaces.We take children for instance,and penetrates on problems now existed in children’s outdoor activities spaces from perspectives of psychology.Firstly,it defines some related concepts,and then studies children’s psychology,behavioral habits as well as features of activities spaces and composing elements,and at the same time,from perspectives of behavioral psychology,we make an interpretation of excellent domestic and foreign cases about children’s outdoor activities spaces,which can be used as an theoretical basis and design references when children’s outdoor spaces are being designed.By interviewing and investigating Hanshan Square of Handan city,Longhu Park and Arcadia Bishuiwan residential community,we analyzed the current situations and problems of children’s outdoor activities spaces in these places and also made some further reconstructions and explorations.Finally,we take one residential panning project which I have participated in for instance,and put theories into practice to probe into the planning and design of children’s outdoor activities spaces and to build outdoor activities spaces which are in line with children’s behaviors and psychologies.Outdoor activities spaces have a great effect on children’s growth.We hope that the reconstruction of children’s outdoor activities spaces and the practice designs of residential communities can provide some guides for Handan city and can become a supplement as well.
