For many children, public playgrounds represent environments that are playful and important in developing good health. Without efforts to facilitate climate change adaptation of outdoor playgrounds there may be a negative impact on children's health and well-being.
With a special focus on play value, to explore the reasoning and described strategies among professionals responsible for development, planning and solutions concerning outdoor playgrounds in the context of climate change.
Eight semi-structured interviews were held with purposefully selected interviewees. Analysis was conducted with manifest content analysis.
Four themes with supporting categories; 1: a new design paradigm for outdoor play environments, 2: a need for updated regulation- and security guidelines for outdoor play environments, 3: nature-based play environments are more climate change resilient, and 4: maintenance and construction of nature-based outdoor play environments. The findings showed an overall awareness and a will to use innovative and nature-based strategies and planning to deal with climate change implications for outdoor play environments.
The findings suggest that the strategies employed lean towards implementation of increased ecosystem services and natural elements. Ensuring strengthened resilience against hazardous climate change effects may positively facilitate diverse play activities with high play value.
对于许多儿童来说，公共游乐场是充满乐趣的环境，对培养健康非常重要。如果不努力促进户外游乐场地适应气候变化，可能会对儿童的健康和福祉产生负面影响。
特别关注游戏价值，探讨负责户外游乐场地开发、规划和解决方案的专业人员的推理和描述策略，在气候变化的背景下。
对有目的地选择的受访者进行了八次半结构化访谈。分析采用明显的内容分析。
四个主题，支持类别；1：户外游戏环境的新设计范例，2：更新户外游戏环境的法规和安全指南的需求，3：基于自然的游戏环境更能适应气候变化，4：维护和建设基于自然的户外游戏环境。研究结果表明，人们普遍意识到并愿意采用创新和基于自然的策略和规划来应对户外游戏环境对气候变化的影响。
研究结果表明，所采用的策略倾向于实施增加的生态系统服务和自然元素。确保增强对危险的气候变化影响的弹性，可能会积极促进具有高游戏价值的多样化游戏活动。
