Abstract

Extensive attention has been given to children’s play spaces in public environments. Still, there exists a research need to devise a more comprehensive and structured design framework for space design addressing more comprehensive and structured activity modeling capabilities. The Context-Based Activity Modeling (CBAM) has been proposed as a framework for service design where activities are represented by elements like action verb, actors, object, tool, and contexts, where context is further represented by goal, relevant structure, physical, and psychological contexts. In this paper, children’s play activities such as throw, run, chase, hide, seek, and seize as observed in a community courtyard setting have been represented and interrogated using the CBAM method. Then, six specific design strategies have been derived for enhancing children’s play space design. As demonstrated in this way, CBAM is proposed as a framework for activity-centered space design for child playground. Experiential sustainability of children’s play activities are supported by play space design fully addressing detailed context elements of CBAM.
