Urban spaces serve as platforms for interactions among individuals and with the environment. These interactions are enhanced by a sense of belonging; a feeling that encourages individuals to identify the environment as part of themselves, leading to more active presence and greater responsibility. The objective of this research is to propose strategies for enhancing the sense of belonging among children aged 4 to 5 years in Azadi Park, Shiraz, thereby addressing the gaps arising from the neglect of this age group in urban design. The present study is quasi-experimental and employs a descriptive-analytical method with a mixed (qualitative-quantitative) approach. The statistical population consisted of 50 indigenous children familiar with the park, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using pictorial questionnaires, drawing analysis, semi-structured interviews, field observations, psychological analysis with the assistance of a child psychologist, and post-redesign evaluation questionnaires. Qualitative analysis revealed that in children's mental images of an ideal park, priorities include "play and physical activity," "nature and green spaces," and "social interaction," with emphasis on sensory elements, soft paving, and colorful play equipment. Post-redesign evaluation analysis using non-parametric tests indicated correlations among the variables following redesign. The results demonstrate that redesign efforts should focus on diversity in activities and play equipment, enhancement of sensory experiences, improvement of safety and security, and responsiveness to children's needs.
