“…Shaw et al () present data on children's independent mobility from surveys conducted in 1971, 1990 and 2010, but questions relating to parental concerns about safety in the local neighbourhood were available for 2010 only. Nevertheless, Shaw et al () show that parents spontaneously cite concerns about neighbourhood safety in relation to the restrictions they place on their children's independent mobility, and studies continue to demonstrate that parental concerns about safety impinge upon children's play outside the home (e.g., Faulkner et al ).…”

This paper examines change in school-age children's (8-16 years) time use in the United Kingdom between 1975 and 2015. Over this period, concerns for children's safety, technological change, and increased emphasis on success in school are widely argued to have altered children's daily lives, leading for example to less time outdoors, more time in screen-based activities, and more time focused on education. Using data from three national time use surveys collected in 1974-5, 2000-01 and 2014-15, this paper explores the extent to which these arguments reflect actual change in how children spend their time throughout the day. The results show that between 1975 and 2015 children increased their time at home, and spent more time in screen-based activities and doing homework. Decreases in time in out-of-home activities were concentrated in time in unstructured play, partially offset by increased time in sport. A decomposition of trends revealed that, despite a narrowing of the gender gap in time in housework, gender remains a significant factor determining many aspects of children's time use. In contrast, the significance of age declined in most leisure activities, with the exception of screen-based activities where significant age differences emerged in 2000 and widened further in 2015.

Reclaiming streets for outdoor play: A process and impact evaluation of “Juega en tu Barrio” (Play in your Neighborhood), an intervention to increase physical activity and opportunities for play

et al. 2017

BackgroundNew strategies are required to create supportive physical and social environments for children and promote active free-play. Juega en tu Barrio (JETB; Play in your Neighborhood) was designed and implemented to explore the effectiveness of closing a street in a low-to-middle income neighborhood in order to increase children’s outside play and physical activity.MethodsA pretest-posttest design with control group was employed to investigate the intervention effects in a subsample of 100 children, 51 from the intervention neighborhood and 49 from the control neighborhood. The children wore pedometers for one week, and their parents completed questionnaires at two time points: before the intervention began and during the last two weeks of the intervention. JETB was conducted in the intervention neighborhood from 17:30 to 20:30, twice a week, from September to December 2014. Stewards ensured that the children were safe. Children and adults were assessed using systematic observation.ResultsThe intervention and control neighborhoods included 177 and 116 children respectively. The average attendance per event was 60 children (SD = 22, reach 34%). In the intervention neighborhood, a significant increase between baseline and final assessment was observed in after-school outdoor playtime (p = 0.02), steps during the 3-hour intervention (p = 0.004), and daily steps Monday to Sunday (p = 0.006). Meanwhile, no changes were observed in the control neighborhood for the same variables. The proportion of children who met recommended daily step counts increased from 27.5% to 53.0% in the intervention neighborhood (p = 0.007), while for control neighborhood no difference was observed (49.0% to 53.0% p = 0.804).ConclusionsJETB showed high community engagement while offering opportunities for increased outdoor play in children. The intervention showed a significant effect on the number of children meeting the daily pedometer-derived physical activity recommendations.

Faktor-faktor yang mengancam kelekatan seorang pada tempat tertentu adalah terjeratnya orang tua dalam perangkat sosial tertentu sehingga mempengaruhi kebebasan anak untuk bergerak [12][13][14], adanya persepsi negatif anak terhadap lingkungan [15] dan faktor lingkungan tempat tinggal yang tidak mendukung [16] serta ketergantungan pada televisi dan digital media [17].…”

ABSTRAK. Fakta empiris membuktikan bahwa kehadiran suatu taman lingkungan dapat berkontribusi pada terbentuknya rasa kelekatan seseorang, termasuk anak, pada tempat. Rasa kelekatan anak pada tempat perlu ada dan penting karena memberikan kontribusi positif bagi perkembangan fisik dan mental anak. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk memahami apakah kehadiran RPTRA, yang secara ekstensif dibangun oleh Pemprov DKI Jakarta sejak tahun 2015, telah berkontribusi pada terbentuknya rasa kelekatan anak pada tempat? Apakah RPTRA telah menjadi tempat favorit anak? Bagaimana rasa kelekatan anak terhadap RPTRA dapat dipahami melalui dimensi pembentuk rasa kelekatan anak pada tempat?Lokasi studi adalah 10 RPTRA yang tersebar di seluruh wilayah Jakarta. Pengukuran dan pemahaman rasa kelekatan anak terhadap RPTRA dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara dan pengisian kuesioner oleh pengguna anak (n=597) di lokasi RPTRA. Hasil pengukuran menunjukkan 77% responden anak menyatakan ada rasa kelekatan terhadap RPTRA dan 95% responden anak memberikan penilaian positif terhadap RPTRA sebagai tempat favorit mereka. Rasa kelekatan anak terhadap RPTRA dibentuk oleh 1) dimensi penggunaan RPTRA secara kolektif oleh anak bersama teman dan keluarga 2) dimensi tempat, seperti: kemudahan akses dan kedekatan lokasi RPTRA dengan rumah tinggal, keamanan, ketersediaan fasilitas ruang luar untuk bermain, dan ketersediaan fasilitas ruang dalam untuk belajar dan melakukan berbagai aktivitas terstruktur yang edukatif; 3) Dimensi proses, seperti: peluang untuk melakukan berbagai aktivitas di RPTRA, pengalaman yang berulang bersama teman sebaya dan keluarga, kemudahan pergerakkan bolak balik ke RPTA, dan durasi waktu. Fakta empiris membuktikan bahwa kehadiran suatu ruang terbuka publik atau ruang terbuka hijau seperti taman lingkungan, lingkungan alam, prasarana dan sarana taman lingkungan dapat memberikan kontribusi pada hadirnya rasa kelekatan anak pada tempat [3][4][5][6][7].
