Comparing the lifestyles and environmental perceptions of rural and urban children: a case study in Turkey
This study aims to compare lifestyles and environmental perceptions of urban and rural children. Ninety-two students completed a questionnaire and were given two means (drawing or wring) to express their thoughts regarding (1) the activity and play areas, (2) their neighborhood and (3) their city. The results showed higher levels of parental supervision and restrictions on the independent mobility of the urban children in outdoor areas. This and other differences regarding the life styles are reflected in the children's drawings of various settings. The results have applied value for planners and urban designers, and additional research is currently underway
