Abstract
Nowadays in cities, we are witnessing the development of the indiscriminate construction of low-income houses simply as a shelter and without paying attention to the psychological needs of the residents and the degradation of the quality of these houses. So, one of the main dimensions of housing quality is the sense of security of children in residential complexes. By the growth of urbanization and the migration of villagers to cities, urban spaces have become inaccessible for children and are less responsive to their needs. Therefore, it is important to apply the child-friendly city approach as a practical strategy to increase children's sense of security and measure the quality of people's settlements. Based on this, the main goal of this research is to investigate and explain the basic design strategies in order to increase the safety of children in the design of open spaces of low-income residential complexes based on the components of the child-friendly city approach. In this research, Mehr Vahdat housing in Shiraz city is considered as a study example. This research has a practical nature from the point of view of descriptive-analytical and survey methodology and from the point of view of the goal. Based on the results, among the basic solutions that can be presented in order to increase the sense of security of children in the open space of Mehr residential complexes based on the child-friendly city approach, it is possible to increase the readability of the environment for children in the open space of the complex through the design of fun collaborative spaces in order to communicate as much as possible. Most of the children, as well as the design of children's passageways to the mentioned spaces by using playful flooring, stimulating bodies. Also, considering the importance of the foot area in order to increase the sense of security of children, it is necessary to eliminate or minimize defenseless spaces.
