Analysis on Preferred Element on Constructing Creative Play Space Design

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the various perspectives that children can provide by utilizing specific physical spaces for play, and to study how to effectively apply them to surrounding spaces and environments. AHP was used to analyze the preferred elements for effectively designing a play area. The main keywords were derived through case studies of various domestic and foreign play space designs, and each keyword was grouped and a keyword of a higher concept was derived. The results of the comparison of 14 keywords that were finally drawn using AHP for each element were used to derive the priority for the preferred elements. As a result, preference was derived in the order of “Openness”, “Safety”, and “Diversity” in the morphological properties of the play space, and “Adventure”, “Five senses elements”, “Visual elements” and “Interactivity” in the content properties of the play space.
