Children’s participation in built environment design: The case of “Play Without Barriers” project
Öz: Since participation theory became a crucial issue in various disciplines after late
1960’s, creating actual participatory processes generated an important question of
debate. Today, in recent conditions the validity of urban design or local governing
policies are evaluated depending on how much importance they attached to par-
ticipatory approaches and social governance models. The earlier individuals start
to involve participation into their lives, the more conscious they become. There-
fore, participatory projects should consider the existence of youth and children in
urban life and built environment design.
This paper discusses the effects of built-environment education on the young
participants while introducing a brief explanation of an educational model named
“Play Without Barriers” (PWB), supported by several shareholders and which is
designed also as a child participation project. PWB is a long term project which
expanded into three years and came up with concrete results such as a play-
ground project designed by its users, children, who participated a 27 week long
educational program. From the beginning of the project, the participants (chil-
dren aged between 8-14) found the chance to work with all of these shareholders,
represent their ideas and get involved in the whole process.
The general outline of the paper includes a literature review on the pros and
cons of built environment education and participatory design, discussion of a case
study (PWB) while mentioning the methods used in the education and applica-
tion phases of this project, followed by a criticism of the process and declaration
of the outcomes
