The urban environment is a product of many tangible and intangible factors for communities, involving activities, spaces, and users of different age groups. Stakeholder consultation has become an essential part of envisaging any urban space. In general practice, mostly adults’ opinions and suggestions are taken into account, and children are sidelined, even if the issues are related to children. Children are an integral part of the present urbanizing world and are some of its most sensitive and affected users. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child recognizes three P’s: provision, protection, and participation. The third, participation, is a crucial dimension of creating a healthier environment, but it has largely been neglected. The drawing technique is among the methods to gather information directly through the children’s participatory approach. It has been observed that children prefer to express themselves by drawing rather than answering questions and find it easy and enjoyable. This research incorporates drawing as a methodological tool for identifying children’s expectations and understanding their preferences about their ideal neighborhood park. A total of 80 children aged between 6 and 15 years from planned zones of Lucknow city were selected for the research. The results derived from the content and co-relation data analysis techniques highlight that children emphasized physical, perceptional, cognitive, emotional, and social parameters for developing a child-friendly environment in parks and open spaces.

“…Recently, children drawings obtained from urban and rural groups was used to interpret students' learning and preferences in Environmental Education (LABINTAH, SHINOZAKI, 2014); this study suggested a significant positive relationship between the children's level of environmental learning among urban children and their preferences in particular towards outdoor physical and cognitive interpretations within an active environment. However, a didactic strategy to strengthen and balance the knowledge, in an integrative way, is expected to complement the interactive approach.…”

The concept of environment in students from primary levels and high school was achieved from an environmental perception analysis based on drawings, while the most important proenvironmental actions, according to the students' opinion, were captured using a survey. The data from environmental perception and the level of pro-environmental actions were correlated to each other using principal component analysis. The hypothesis that meaningful proenvironmental actions are related to the level of environmental perception was confirmed. Thus, teaching-learning activities in environmental education focused on socio-ecological resilience were proposed to improve the environmental perception of students and, ultimately, to lead effective pro-environmental actions. Keywords: environmental perception; pro-environmental actions; educational methodology; socio-ecological system; resilience thinking RESUMO A concepção de ambiente para estudantes da educação básica e ensino médio foi obtida a partir da análise da percepção ambiental baseada em desenhos, enquanto as ações pró-ambientais mais importantes apontadas pelos estudantes foram capturadas por meio de um survey. Os dados de percepção ambiental e o nível das ações pró-ambientais foram correlacionados usando análise por componentes principais. A hipótese de que ações pró-ambientais significativas estão relacionadas com o nível de percepção ambiental foi confirmada. Portanto, atividades de ensino em educação ambiental baseada em resiliência sócio-ecológica são propostas para melhorar a percepção ambiental de estudantes e, consequentemente, conduzir a ações pró-ambientais efetivas.

“…The qualitative approach best suits and offers a more reliable approach to understanding children's thoughts, feelings and experiences (Chawla, 2006b). With focus on children and nature, several studies have used drawing to evaluate children's perceptions and attitudes towards nature and the environment and found it to be a useful method for understanding children's relationship with nature and the environment (Labintah & Shinozaki, 2014). Drawing helps stimulate children to give a response and to communicate (Horstman, Aldiss, Richardson, & Gibson, 2008).…”

This study aims to assess children’s connectedness to nature (CTN) through drawing based on their preferences and interest in natural elements in spaces. A sequential explanatory mixed-method research design was employed to achieve the aim. For the quantitative part, questionnaires were distributed to 760 children in 20 schools located in Kedah and Penang, Malaysia. For the qualitative part, 72 children were grouped into draw and focus groups. The children in the qualitative part were chosen from low-, moderate- and high-level CTN groups. The results confirm that children’s CTN can be assessed through their drawing based on their interest in natural elements in spaces. The findings indicated that children from the high-level CTN group had more interest in natural elements in spaces compared to the children in the moderate- and low-level of CTN groups.
