Abstract

In recent years, children's behaviors tend to be regulated by parents who worry about crime and accidents. It has been pointed out that this has an adverse effect on children’s development, reducing the opportunity for children to act freely without adult accompaniment. The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between restriction on children’s outdoor activities and regional factors. First of all, in order to clarify the tendency of restriction in an exploratory way, interview survey was conducted on 16 parents with primary school children. Next, based on the results of the interview survey, a web questionnaire survey was conducted women with primary school children living in Kanagawa Prefecture. As a result of covariance structure analysis (n = 440), it was found that in areas with low urbanity and few children, there are few people watching over children, and parents become more anxious, so regulations become stronger. In addition, it was also revealed that children of highly socially cohesive parents were less restricted.
