“…The leading UK play bodies share a similar understanding, advocating for the child's right to play which is "freely chosen, personally directed and intrinsically motivated" whereby children play "by following their own instincts ideas and interests, in their own way for their own reasons" (Playwork Principles Scrutiny Group, 2005) This perspective situates the value of play in the act itself, rather than any ancillary outcomes which may derive from it (Aziz and Said, 2015). Yet the many benefits of play (see upcoming section 3.4) have resulted in its co-option in support of various agendas over the years in sectors such as health and education, evoking debate as to whether play should be used as a means to fulfil a specific purpose rather than as an activity for its own sake (Whitebread et al, 2012).…”

Nowadays technology has become an essential component in our urban environments. The mediated city is a concept that takes advantage of various kinds of technology to enhance the functional efficiency of daily urban life. Augmented spaces are one of the main elements of mediated cities which use Augmented Reality (AR) to facilitate communication and interaction between digital and physical spaces. Children, as users of augmented spaces, have the potential to explore mediated cities using various AR-enabled accessories. This ability gives children the opportunity to get a closer sense of connection to their city and experience place attachment which is the emotional bond formed between themselves and the place. This paper explores three case studies that exhibit how children use AR technology to develop various skills. Our goal is to promote AR as a contemporary tool that helps children better perceive and experience the feeling of place attachment in their city.

As such, the concept of affordances in children's play not only provides information about the properties and attributed qualities of environments but also indicates children's abilities to cope with and adapt to the environmental affordances (Aziz and Said 2016).…”
