Özet:

 The aim of the study was to investigate the quality of childrens playgrounds in the city centre of Bilecik in terms of different elements function, safety, maintenance, cleanliness, etc.. The data of the study, which used the case study model, one of the qualitative research methods, was collected from 51 childrens playgrounds and 34 parents. The data collection tools used were Personal Information Form, Childrens Playground Design Criteria Evaluation Form and Structured Interview Form. When the results of the study were examined in terms of the functional qualities of the playgrounds, it was found that the playground equipment in the playgrounds was not sufficient in number and variety for the children, and that there were mostly traditional playground equipment in the parks. It was also found that the elements of safety, maintenance and cleanliness in the childrens playgrounds surveyed were not at a sufficient level, and these findings were supported by the opinions of parents. It was found that some of the swings did not have safety belts and lying parts, and some of the playground equipment had sharp edges, broken parts, rust and disrepair. Looking at other safety findings, some parks are close to traffic, some playgrounds have fences, walls, etc. It was noted that there are no sheltered areas, that not all parks have guards and safety equipment, and that lighting is inadequate in most parks. Various suggestions are made in the light of these findings.

 Çalışmada Bilecik il merkezinde bulunan çocuk oyun parklarının çeşitli unsurlar açısından fonksiyon, güvenlik, bakım, temizlik vb. niteliğinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda park sayısının ve çocuk nüfus yoğunluğunun 0-14 yaş en fazla olduğu beş semtte Bahçelievler Mahallesi, Ertuğrulgazi Mahallesi, İsmetpaşa Mahallesi, Hürriyet Mahallesi, Beşiktaş Mahallesi bulunan çocuk oyun parklarının niteliği, araştırmacılar tarafından yerinde gözlem yapılarak incelenmiştir. Ayrıca parkların niteliğine ilişkin daha kapsamlı veriler elde edilebilmesi amacıyla çocuklarını oyun parklarına götüren ebeveynlerle görüşme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması modelinin kullanıldığı çalışmanın verileri 51 çocuk oyun parkı ve 34 ebeveynden elde edilmiştir. Veri toplama araçları olarak Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Çocuk Oyun Alanları Tasarım Kriterleri Değerlendirme Formu ve Yapılandırılmış Görüşme Formu kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın oyun parklarının fonksiyonel nitelikleri açısından elde edilen sonuçları incelendiğinde oyun parklarında yer alan oyun ekipmanlarının çocuklar için yeterli sayı ve çeşitlilikte olmadığı, parklarda daha çok geleneksel oyun araçlarının bulunduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca incelenen çocuk oyun parklarında güvenlik, bakım ve temizlik unsurlarının yeterli düzeyde olmadığı tespit edilerek elde edilen bu sonuçlar ebeveyn görüşleriyle desteklenmiştir. Bazı salıncaklarda koruyucu kemer ve yaslanma kısımlarının olmadığı, oyun araçlarının bazılarında ise sivri uçların, kırık parçaların, paslanmaların ve bakımsızlıkların mevcut olduğu belirlenmiştir. Güvenlik açısından elde edilen diğer sonuçlara bakıldığında bazı parkların trafiğe yakın olduğu, oyun parklarının bazılarında çit-duvar vb. koruyucu alanların bulunmadığı, parkların tamamında güvenlik personellerinin ve güvenlik donanımlarının mevcut olmadığı ve çoğu parkta ışıklandırma yetersizliklerinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. İlgili sonuçlar ışığında çeşitli önerilere yer verilmiştir.
