ABSTRACT

This study explores how Iranian children perceive urban settings, what concerns they have in these environments, and examines their competency to accurately read or understand their lived urban environment. To achieve this, primary school students were invited to participate in a mixed-methods qualitative study. The findings present children's perceptions of physical and non-physical aspects of urban settings, each of these consisting of sub-themes relevant to the concerns and competency of participants. Findings include children's understanding of deficiencies in access to urban spaces, meeting children's needs, their experiences of city flows, their perceptions of socio-cultural features of their society, their need to be present in urban spaces, and the sense of belonging and feeling valued in their community. The findings also highlight that some priorities of children are consistent with UNICEF child-friendly city characteristics, but others exceed UNICEF guidelines. The results convey a message to urban decision-makers to provide more space in the urban development process for young citizens since children show competence in comprehending urban spaces.

感知、关注、能力:儿童对伊朗城市环境物质和非物质方面的理解

摘要

这项研究探讨了伊朗儿童如何看待城市环境,他们在这些环境中有什么顾虑,并检查他们准确阅读或理解他们生活的城市环境的能力。为实现这一目标,小学生被邀请参加混合方法定性研究。调查结果展示了儿童对城市环境的物理和非物理方面的看法,每个方面都包含与参与者的关注点和能力相关的子主题。调查结果包括儿童对进入城市空间不足的理解、满足儿童需求、他们的城市流动体验、他们对社会社会文化特征的看法、他们在城市空间中存在的需要以及归属感和被重视的感觉在他们的社区。调查结果还强调,儿童的一些优先事项符合联合国儿童基金会的儿童友好城市特征,但其他优先事项超出了联合国儿童基金会的指导方针。结果向城市决策者传达了一个信息,即在城市发展过程中为年轻市民提供更多空间,因为儿童表现出理解城市空间的能力。
