Abstract
In the customary way of studies on children's play-environment, meanings of places for children tended to be made light of. In this study, I made an attempt to distinguish various play-places by considering the significant relation between children at play and the places in many play-activities. As a result, we can find 10 or 15 types in various play-places. Each of them has different signification from the others. They will be one of basic frameworks to grasp children's actual play-places from their standpoint.
