CHILDREN'S PLAY SPOTS IN PROVINCIAL SMALL CITY

—After school situation of Katsuyama, Fukui—

Abstract

Play spots in provincial small cities have not been observed carefully recently. This paper reveals actual play spots of after school children in Katsuyama-city (Fukui Pref.), to collect information for future upgrading of living environment.
The data shows that children in the farming villages tend to play at the children center, which is prepared one in each school district. Playing with natural flowers or insects or exploring of the neighboring district is more common for children in town.
Many children play with their school friends rather than brothers, sisters or different aged neighbor friend.
