Abstract

Background: For many children, public playgrounds represent environments that are playful and important in developing good health. Without efforts to facilitate climate change adaptation of outdoor playgrounds there may be a negative impact on children's health and well-being.

Aim: With a special focus on play value, to explore the reasoning and described strategies among professionals responsible for development, planning and solutions concerning outdoor playgrounds in the context of climate change.

Materials and methods: Eight semi-structured interviews were held with purposefully selected interviewees. Analysis was conducted with manifest content analysis.

Results: Four themes with supporting categories; 1: a new design paradigm for outdoor play environments, 2: a need for updated regulation- and security guidelines for outdoor play environments, 3: nature-based play environments are more climate change resilient, and 4: maintenance and construction of nature-based outdoor play environments. The findings showed an overall awareness and a will to use innovative and nature-based strategies and planning to deal with climate change implications for outdoor play environments.

Conclusions and significance: The findings suggest that the strategies employed lean towards implementation of increased ecosystem services and natural elements. Ensuring strengthened resilience against hazardous climate change effects may positively facilitate diverse play activities with high play value.

减轻气候变化对儿童户外游戏环境的影响。
背景:对许多儿童来说,公共游乐场代表着好玩的环境,对发展良好的健康很重要。如果不努力促进户外游乐场适应气候变化,可能会对儿童的健康和福祉产生负面影响。目的:特别关注游戏价值,探索在气候变化的背景下,负责户外游乐场发展、规划和解决方案的专业人士之间的推理和描述策略。材料与方法:有目的地选择受访者,进行8次半结构化访谈。采用清单含量分析法进行分析。结果:四个主题,并附有支持类别;1:户外游戏环境的新设计范式;2:需要更新户外游戏环境的监管和安全指南;3:基于自然的游戏环境更具气候变化适应性;4:基于自然的户外游戏环境的维护和建设。研究结果表明,人们普遍意识到并愿意采用创新的、基于自然的策略和规划来应对气候变化对户外游戏环境的影响。结论与意义:研究结果表明,采用的策略倾向于增加生态系统服务和自然要素。确保加强抵御危险气候变化影响的能力,可以积极促进具有高游戏价值的多样化游戏活动。
