Abstract
The purpose of the Part 3 is to investigate the children's spatial cognition of the routes to their school, and their parents' assessment of the environment along the route-to/from-school.
The results of the present research were as follows :
1) Children recognized the route-to/from-school as composed of various elements of space and their cognitions were differences between boys and girls.
2) Children attached differing significance to different elements along the routes, utilizing various places according to their functions.
3) Safety for walking is the primary concern of parents' assessment of the environment along the route-to/from-school, and natural environment is secondly.
On the other hand, cultural facilities were not high in assessment, because of several imperfect equipment.
