Moreover, participatory approaches such as painting, pictorial questionnaire and interviews with 141 children, aged 10–14 years on their favourite spaces, activities, and vehicles have been used by means of cluster random sampling method. The results indicated that home, playing with others, and cycling are most favoured by the children regarding the sustainability indicators in the neighbourhood.
