Özet:

 In todays world, with the rapid increase in population, the areas allocated for childrens playgrounds have decreased in parallel with the decreasing open and green areas in cities. As a result, children cannot find suitable places to play. However, since playgrounds are places where children not only play but also talk and communicate with each other, if these places created for children are safe, robust and suitable for the age group, it will positively affect the development of children. Eğirdir district centre was accepted as the research area and the study was carried out in this area. The study was carried out in all 21 childrens playgrounds located in the district centre of Eğirdir. As a result of the evaluation, it has been seen that the playgrounds have become identical to each other and have become places that have been organised without much thought in commercial concerns. It is seen that in these organised spaces, spaces that cannot respond to the wishes of the child are created without researching what the child wants. It has been determined that there is a lack of equipment elements and inadequate planting in the playgrounds, and as a result of the arrangements made without considering different age groups, it is possible for children of each age group to play in the same equipment, and this causes confusion among children. Suggestions have been made in terms of landscape architecture on these issues.

 Günümüzde nüfusun hızla artmasıyla kentlerdeki azalan açık ve yeşil alanlara paralel olarak çocuk oyun alanları için ayrılan alanlar da azalmış durumdadır. Bunun sonucunda ise çocuklar oynamak için uygun mekanlar bulamamaktadırlar. Oysa oyun alanları, çocukların sadece oyun oynadıkları değil, birbirleriyle konuştukları, iletişim kurdukları mekanlar olmaları nedeniyle, çocuklar için oluşturulan bu mekanların güvenli, sağlam ve yaş grubuna uygun olması durumunda çocukların gelişimlerini olumlu yönde etkileyecektir. Araştırma alanı olarak Eğirdir ilçe merkezi esas kabul edilmiş ve çalışma bu alanda yürütülmüştür. Çalışma, Eğirdir ilçe merkezinde yer alan 21 adet çocuk oyun alanının tamamında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan değerlendirme sonucunda, oyun alanlarının birbirinin aynısı, ticari kaygılar içinde üzerinde pek fazla düşünülmeden düzenlenen mekanlar haline gelmiş durumda olduğu görülmüştür. Düzenlenen bu mekanlarda çocuğun neler istediği hakkında araştırılma yapılmadan çocuğun isteklerine karşılık veremeyen mekanlar oluşturulduğu görülmektedir. Oyun alanlarında donatı elemanlarının eksikliği ve bitkilendirmenin yetersiz olduğu, ayrıca farklı yaş grupları düşünülmeden yapılmış düzenlemeler sonucunda her yaş grubu çocuğun aynı donatılarda oynaması söz konusu olmakta, bu durumunda çocuklar arasında kargaşaya neden olduğu saptanmıştır. Bu konularda peyzaj mimarlığı açısından öneriler getirilmiştir.
