Evaluation of child-friendly city parameters from the perspective of children

Research in child-friendly cities, especially in Europe, has been in the spotlight since the ۱۹۸۰s.The main focus of this research was on allocating citizenship rights to children and addressing their wants and needs. Today, child-friendly cities are the focus of urban planners and administrators, as the number of children in urban areas of the world (cities in developing countries) is increasing. Child-friendly city projects are mainly about creating opportunities for children to shape or change their environment, and the criteria for a child-friendly city are examined from a children's perspective. Children and adolescents, as members of the community, are involved in building child-friendly city projects. The purpose of this study is to examine the response of today's cities to the needs of children from the perspective of a childfriendly city approach. The type of research is quantitative and based on library studies and documents and field studies. Using a kind of questionnaire, the opinions of the children of the Al-Ghadir neighborhood were examined about the characteristics of their lovely city. A case study of the Al-Ghadir neighborhood showed that ۶۴% of children believed that a large number of trees, green spaces, and playground equipment should be created in this neighborhood. These were criteria from a children's point of view for a child-friendly city.
