Abstract

This article, based on an embodied cognitive perspective, focuses on the design of outdoor recreation spaces for children in the preoperational stage. It explores the embodied cognitive theory and the specific requirements of children's outdoor recreation spaces, highlighting the suitability of embodied cognition for current design needs. By analyzing the embodied cognitive characteristics of children in the preoperational stage and reviewing relevant research, this study proposes design elements based on embodied cognition. Six design strategies for children's outdoor recreation spaces are presented, including children's participation, sensory experiences, spatial layout, natural elements, image and symbol representation, and safety considerations. The aim is to provide insights for the design of children's outdoor recreation spaces in related fields.
