‘Eyes on where children play’: a retrospective study of active free play (2015, background): “Such information may have important implications for improving the physical activity, health, and development of children and youth (Veitch et al. 2006).”
Where Do Children Travel to and What Local Opportunities Are Available? The Relationship Between Neighborhood Destinations and Children’s Independent Mobility (2013, methodology): “Mapping has been shown to be an effective method to obtain this type of information (Hume et al., 2005; Rissotto & Tonucci, 2002; Veitch et al., 2006), with visual examples used successfully to assist children with mapping exercises (Veitch et al.”
Meanings of play among children (2013, background): “Safety concerns have often been cited in response including concerns about outdoor darkness, neighborhood deprivation, crime, street traffic, and absence of adult supervision (Carver et al., 2008; Veitch et al., 2006).”
Characteristics of urban parks associated with park use and physical activity: a review of qualitative research. (2010, methodology): “In particular, age-appropriate and maintained play equipment was important for encouraging park use (Adams et al., 2008, Ferré et al., 2006, Lloyd et al., 2008, Tucker et al., 2007, Veitch et al., 2006, Veitch et al., 2007).”
A Qualitative GIS Approach to Mapping Urban Neighborhoods with Children to Promote Physical Activity and Child-Friendly Community Planning (2010, background): “Very little is known about children's own use and perceptions of neighborhoods as a space in which they can be physically active, relying instead on parental reports of children's health behaviors, which are considered more reliable (for example, see Veitch et al, 2006; Weir et al, 2006).”
Children's Perceptions of the Use of Public Open Spaces for Active Free-play (2007, result): “This is consistent with our findings from an earlier study (Veitch et al., 2006) where parents indicated that having other children to play with was an important contributor to outdoor play for their child.”
