日本儿童室外游戏空间研究及实践

营造儿童友好型社会,给人们良好的育儿环境,已经成为全社会不得不面临的问题。从儿童视角出发,分析日本社会儿童成长发育环境的特征,为儿童提供适合的室外游戏活动空间,以解决社会问题,创造适于儿童健康成长与教育的环境等方面的问题,进行了诸如"森林幼儿园"等以自然为游戏空间的探索,更从国家层面对于儿童友好型环境的设计规划提出"十二条基本原则"等方针政策。考虑中国经济发展阶段和社会现状,与日本存在差距的同时也存在发展路径上的历史相似性,日本体验自然儿童游戏空间的建设为中国儿童游戏空间的营造和儿童教育提供了宝贵的经验参考。

Research and Practices on Children Ourdoor Playground in Japan

Creating a children-friendly society and offering a good educational environment for children have become an important issue for the whole society. From the view of children, this paper analyzes some characteristics of the environment for children’s growth in Japan and elaborates some natural outdoor playground such as Forest Kindergarten. It also proposes twelve principles for the planning and design of a children-friendly environment at a national level. Given the current economic and social development, China remains some similarities but still a gap with Japan. Therefore, a research of the natural outdoor playground for children in Japan will be valuable for the development of children’s playground and education in China.
