There were three purposes accomplished via this study Firstly, to analyze the relationship between playground use opinions of children and appropriateness status of their playgrounds. Secondly, to examine whether the concept of ”playground appropriateness” could integrate children's opinions and would be beneficial for analyzing these opinions. Thirdly, to compare outcomes between the data of ”child self-report” and ”teacher representation” in order to analyze the significance and feasibility of the data collection method of child self-report. Two kindergartens with different playground appropriateness status participated in this study, survey questions were edited according to the different status of individual kindergartens. Data collection was conducted by interviewing children aged four in each kindergarten one by one, and by teachers filled questionnaires about their conceived children's opinions.
