title: Children’s wellbeing in Woonerf residential streets: “ A comparative research between Woonerf and High-traffic residential streets”
ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: Woonerf is a Dutch spatial concept utilized to decrease the car traffic levels in residential
streets by establishing spatial interventions. However, the effects of the spatial
interventions on the residents and especially children remain unexplored. By conducting
a Questionnaire this research explores the variation in the levels of parental perception
of safety, children’s autonomy, and wellbeing between a Woonerf and a High-traffic
residential area. Results indicate that parents living in Woonerf streets perceive their
residential streets as significantly safer which has an effect on the increase of children's
autonomy and wellbeing levels by promoting outdoor physical and social activities.
Children’s wellbeing levels based on their physical and social outdoor activities living in
Woonerf residential areas are significantly higher than children’s wellbeing living in High-
traffic residential areas. The explored benefits could be utilized for further
implementation of the Woonerf concept in the Dutch Planning system.
