These risks can be seen while crawling, making something that has not experienced before, pushing the limits to overcome from fears (Jones, 2012;Stephenson, 2010). However, sometimes children can use the materials in a dangerous way when they are bored. Situations like this can make some harms for children. It happens because environments that children use are excessively protective and safe (Wallsh,1993; Özgüner & Şahin, 2009). However, environments that involve risky play let children to feel excitement, to trust their own judgements, to respect their abilities, to know their limits, to understand the effects of their acts, to help others, to defend independence, to keep themlselves heatlh both physcially and mentally (Ungar, 2010; Knight, 2012, as cited in Kalburan, 2014). In the less protective environment, the play types which give children excitement and have possibility to hurt but are not life-threatining are called as risky play(Play SafetyForum, 2013). According to research, children prefer some playground which involves some materials include speed and height (Beate& Sandseter,2009; Stephenson, 2010). In terms of these information, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of playground in Ankara in terms of providing risky play and supporting taking risk skills. To do this,eight playground in Ankara were observed by taking photos and notes. Also, Playground Rating System which was developed by Frost,Wortham and Reifel in 2001 was used to determine the feautes of playgournd. It is found that generally the playground in Ankara is traditional and they do not support the risky play." Conference - Book of Abstracts 7 2016 Ghent, Belgium Child in the City Asisstant Professor, PhD Bahar Aksel Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Turkey Dealing with Diverse Urban Scapes for Developing a Child-friendly Environment: The Case of Istanbul "With its 15 million inhabitants, Istanbul is the most crowded city of Turkey. Istanbul is the main destination for international investments, urban development and employment as well as being the main center for high quality public services such as education and health care. Transformation of Istanbul started in 1980’s with the migrations from Anatolia, that affected population density, industry / services balance and urban structure dramatically. Squatter houses appeared for the first time as the settlements of new comers. After 2000 local government spotted Istanbul as the new investment capital in its region and started to construct a global city with its high-rise buildings, highways and bridges. Gated communities in the outskirts of the city became most popular residential areas especially for families with children. After 2010 central areas of the city also started to regenerate as residential blocks / skyscrapers targeted the families that prefer urban lifestyle. Eventually, city had diverse population, life styles and urban environment. While all the development agenda focused on constructions; public services such as sport facilities, open public spaces, parks and playgrounds had the secondary role. As the main target group for this new city scape is the adults who have the financial power to afford this new city life, youngsters are not in the scene or only titled after the playground areas. Even though the local government runs many large-scale projects for open public spaces or state set standards for open spaces / facilities for residential areas, they are mostly repetitions of the same format and poor in answering the needs of the specific sites. On the other hand neighborhoods with different economical and social backgrounds have different levels of public space quality. Public spaces (as socialization and gathering environments) are even more important in cities that face a vast transformation. These spaces are crucial for developing interaction between people for the sustainability of the collective memory, common values and active citizenship (especially for the young residents/owners of the city). An overview on Istanbul shows peripheral neighborhoods Sultanbeyli, Arnavutköy and Başakşehir have the most crowded children population; which are developed after 1990’s. Central neighborhoods Beşiktaş, Bakırköy and Şişli are less crowded in the means of children. Though all neighborhoods have various urban patterns within their boundaries. After describing Istanbul according to the urbanization history, economic and educational levels, percentage of children in population growth, public investments and facilities related to children, projects of local governments for child friendly cities; districts will be categorized as old / new, traditional / modern, central / periphery, gated community / ordinary neighborhoods for defining advantageous / disadvantageous neighborhood typologies. Different urban patterns of chosen districts will be analyzed in detail for developing a comparative approach. Determining different conditions of physical environment, quality of cityscape, parks and facilities, public spaces will help defining diverse levels of needs in Istanbul for creating effective, child-friendly, youth-oriented built urban areas that would Conference - Book of Abstracts 8 2016 Ghent, Belgium Child in the City integrate children to their living environment and effect positively for being a citizen."

In the 1990 decade, the territorialist endogenous approach, what we are calling città bambina,
