“…Participants were generally sampled based on their residence in purposefully selected geographical areas. More specifically, in 19 studies participants were recruited based on neighborhood indicators of socioeconomic status [ 17 , 33 - 36 , 38 , 42 , 46 , 47 , 50 , 52 , 56 , 57 , 63 , 65 , 68 , 72 , 73 , 76 ]. Of these, five studies included samples from rural settings [ 40 , 51 - 53 , 55 ], five studies sampled individuals of a particular ethnicity [ 57 , 58 , 60 , 70 , 73 ], and three studies specifically targeted members of different generations to obtain historical perspectives [ 61 , 69 , 71 ].…”

“…In those studies that did include some report of data analysis techniques, details provided varied considerably. Based on the information reported, it appears some form of content or thematic analysis was used in 29 studies [ 17 , 33 - 35 , 37 - 40 , 44 , 45 , 47 , 50 , 51 , 54 - 59 , 62 , 63 , 65 - 67 , 70 - 73 , 76 ]. Four studies reported the use of analysis techniques from grounded theory [ 41 , 48 , 60 , 64 ].…”

“…Details about strategies used to address validity were often lacking. The most frequently reported technique (in 13 studies) was the use of an inter-rater reliability check and/or the inclusion of more than one analyst to review the data [ 32 , 33 , 35 , 39 , 41 , 45 , 54 , 56 , 58 , 65 , 66 , 72 , 76 ]. Two studies used member-checking [ 54 , 60 ], which involved returning results back to participants for verification.…”

PurposeTo produce a meta-study by completing a systematic review of qualitative research examining determinants of independent active free play in children.MethodFollowing systematic electronic and manual searches and application of inclusion/exclusion criteria, 46 studies were retained and subjected to meta-method, meta-theory, and meta-data analyses, followed by a final meta-synthesis.ResultsIdentified determinants of independent active free play were child characteristics (age, competence, and gender), parental restrictions (safety concerns and surveillance), neighborhood and physical environment (fewer children to play with, differences in preferences for play spaces between parents and children, accessibility and proximity, and maintenance), societal changes (reduced sense of community, good parenting ideal, changing roles of parents, privatization of playtime and play spaces), and policy issues (need to give children voice). An ecological model depicting these factors, and the relationships therein, was created.ConclusionsThis comprehensive meta-study helps establish a knowledge base for children’s independent active free play research by synthesizing a previously fragmented set of studies. Parents’ perceived safety concerns are the primary barrier to children’s active free play. These safety concerns are moderated by child-level factors (age, competence, gender) and broader social issues. Interventions should focus on community-level solutions that include children’s perspectives. From a methods perspective, the reviewed studies used a range of data collection techniques, but methodological details were often inadequately reported. The theoretical sophistication of research in this area could be improved. To this end, the synthesis reported in this study provides a framework for guiding future research.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12966-015-0165-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Such research teased out variations among children (differentiated by age, class, ethnicity, gender, and location) in their experience of restrictions on, and in some cases freedom around, outdoor play and mobility in different types of public space (Karsten 2005;Mitchell, Kearns, and Collins 2007;Brown et al 2008;Cope 2008;Kato 2009;Larsen, Gilliland, and Hess 2012). Parents' perspectives remain important, however, reflecting both the feminist roots of children's geographies (Holloway and Pimlott-Wilson 2011) and parental influence on the experiences of children (Foy-Phillips and LloydEvans 2011;Tezel 2011;Alparone and Pacilli 2012).…”

Geographical research on children, youth, and families has done much to highlight the ways in which children's lives have changed over the last twenty-five years. A key strand of research concerns children's play and traces, in the Global North, a decline in children's independent access to, and mobility through, public space. This article shifts the terrain of that debate from an analysis of what has been lost to an exploration of what has replaced it. Specifically, it focuses on children's participation in enrichment activities, including both individual and collective extracurricular sporting, cultural, and leisure opportunities in England. The research reveals that middle-class children have much higher participation rates in enrichment activities than their working-class counterparts. Parents value enrichment activities in very similar ways across the class spectrum-seeing them as fun, healthy, and social opportunities. The ability to pay for enrichment, however, means that it is incorporated into, and transforms, middle-class family life in ways not open to working-class families. Nevertheless, support across the class spectrum for these instrumental forms of play that institutionalize childhood in school, community, and commercial spaces leads to calls for subsidized provision for low-income children through schools. The article thus traces the "enrichment" and "institutionalization" of childhood and draws out the implications of this for how we think about play, education, parenting, and class in geography.La investigación geográfica relacionada con niños, jóvenes y familias ha contribuido mucho en destacar las maneras como las vidas de los chicos han cambiado durante los pasados veinticinco años. Un cabo clave de la investigación a este respecto se relaciona con el juego de los niños e indica, en el Norte Global, una declinación en el acceso independiente de los niños al espacio público y a su movilidad a través del mismo. Este artículo cambia el escenario del debate, remplazando el análisis sobre lo que se ha perdido con una exploración de aquello que lo ha remplazado. Se enfoca específicamente en la participación de los niños en actividades enriquecedoras en Inglaterra, incluyendo a la vez oportunidades individuales y colectivas extracurriculares en aspectos deportivos, culturales y de esparcimiento. La investigación revela que los niños de clase media tienen tasas de participación mucho más altas en actividades de enriquecimiento que sus contrapartes de la clase obrera. Los padres valoran las actividades enriquecedoras de modo muy similar a través del espectro de clases-considerándolas como oportunidades divertidas, saludables y sociales. Sin embargo, la capacidad de pagar por el enriquecimiento significa su incorporación en la vida de la familia de clase media, transformándola, en términos no accesibles para las familias de clase obrera. No obstante, el apoyo que se presta a través del espectro de clase para estas formas
