Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Taking Changqingwan Park in Shenyang City as an example, this study focused on the design and evaluation of children's play space from the perspective of gender inclusion, and conducted PSPL research on possible gender blindness problems in the current space. Taking female parents as the subject of the study, the author collected female parents' evaluation of the current situation of children's play space by using Likert scale, and systematically sorted out the spatial factors affecting their willingness to go and the focus of attention. Through field observation and data analysis, the behavioral characteristics and spatial preferences of women in the process of nursing were discussed. On this basis, combined with the core design principles such as space fun and safety, the optimization strategy of children's play space is proposed to enhance the gender inclusiveness of children's play space, improve children's play experience and caregiver satisfaction.
