Parents' attitudes to trees and nature are reflected not only in their children's outdoor activity, but also in the way they perceive, learn and value the environment. One hundred and eleven respondents, divided into two groups by place of residence, assessed statements in a survey questionnaire. Two groups of questions aimed at evaluating tree benefits and disservices as perceived by urban and rural parents, and identifying their preferences concerning outdoor activity of their children. Tree benefits and disadvantages were grouped into five categories (social, economic, environmental, health and aesthetic). Both urban and rural parents presented similar attitudes to trees as well as to their children's play environments. Among 37 statements concerning tree benefits, only five revealed statistically significant differences. The most important difference appeared in the way urban and rural parents perceived the aspects of danger. Trees were not perceived as posing any risk on playgrounds for city residents, who-unlike villagers-opposed to the removal of trees from playgrounds.
父母对树木和自然的态度不仅体现在孩子的户外活动中，还体现在他们对环境的认知、学习和重视方式上。111名受访者按居住地分为两组，在一份调查问卷中对陈述进行了评估。两组问题旨在评估城市和农村父母所感知到的树木的益处和危害，并确定他们对孩子户外活动的偏好。树木的益处和弊端被分为五类（社会、经济、环境、健康和美学）。城市和农村父母对树木以及孩子的游乐环境都表现出相似的态度。在37条关于树木益处的陈述中，只有5条显示出统计学上的显著差异。最重要的差异出现在城市和农村父母对危险方面的认知方式上。城市居民认为树木在操场上不会构成任何风险，与村民不同，他们反对从操场上移除树木。
