Uso del espacio público de juego de la Kennedy desde la perspectiva de niños, niñas y cuidadores

Abstract

Child participation corresponds to one of the rights in force within the Convention on the Rights of the Child, however, it is a right that is little exercised by children. UNICEF (s.f.) carried out a study in which it was possible to corroborate the little importance given by children to this right, due to the little development and knowledge they have about it. The problem lies in the lack of participation of children in public play spaces, which shows aspects to be considered such as the appropriation or habitability that these places provide to children. This study focuses on Kennedy Park, located in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador. The purpose of this study is to determine perceptions, describe participation and identify risk and protection factors faced by children and caregivers in the park.
