dc.description.abstractThis study examines house use, appreciation and terminology among children from pre-school to high school age. Data are collected via a questionnaire and interviews formatted for pre-school age children. Age, sex, house type, family type and mother's role are treated as variables. The results reveal that age is a significant factor underlying fundamental differences among children: their perception and appreciation of the house go through stages. When children are young (6 and under), their approach to the house is visual and sensual, later (ages 7-14) it becomes more objective and materialistic, and after 15 or so it transforms, emerging in more subjective and emotional perceptions and interpretations. In terms of house use boys and girls differ significantly as well. These findings bear strong relevance to housing design: Implications in that regard are extensively elaborated in the study. The research also concentrates on the vocabulary adopted by children in discussing houses, units of houses, neighborhoods and the environment. The terminology gathered via this research turns it into a set of principles to be considered in housing design; it paves the way for collaborating with children and makes possible their participation in designing housing and its immediate environment. Furthermore, it provides valuable information for sociologists, psychologists and child psychiatrists.en_US
