Abstract (2. Language): 
The physical, mental and social development of individuals start in their childhood, and playing is one of the important factors that affects this development because playing is a process in which children learn the requirements of their social and physical environments, and they enable children to reach more creative and flexible solutions for problems, to form a relationship with nature and to become a part of society. As playing has a great role in children’s lives, the type of the affordance that their school gardens where they spend a great quantity of their lives provide to them and the quality of those spaces are significant Within this context, school gardens are very important places to bring up individuals who are environmentally-conscious, healthy and active. Moreover, they have a significant role for students’ learning capacities. Because school gardens are important determiners for children’s life quality, within the scope of this study, a primary school garden that has different qualities has been evaluated in two stages. In the first stage, spatial properties were associated with the affordances that the school garden provided to children; in the second stage, the 7-year-olds have been asked to draw a picture of their dream school gardens. These pictures were evaluated by researchers in terms of affordances and converted into numerical data. The results of the study indicate that school gardens do not have the quality of enabling children's development physically and socially. However, the school garden in children's dreams has spatial components, which are predominantly natural components and the components such as playgrounds and sitting elements which provide children interaction with nature, enhance their physical activities and create opportunities for them to socialize.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bireyin fiziksel, zihinsel ve sosyal gelişimi çocukluk yıllarında başlar ve oyun bu gelişimi etkileyen önemli faktörlerden biridir. Çünkü oyun, çocukların toplumsal ve fiziksel çevrelerinin şartlarını öğrendikleri bir süreçtir ve çocukların bir problemi çözmede daha yaratıcı, esnek çözümlere ulaşabilmesini, doğa ile ilişki kurmasını ve toplumun bir parçası olabilmesini sağlar. Oyun oynamak çocukların hayatında bu kadar önemli iken zamanlarının önemli bir kısmını geçirdikleri okul bahçelerinin onlara hangi olanakları sağladığı ve bu mekânların nitelikleri çok önemlidir. Bu bağlamda okul bahçeleri çevreye duyarlı, sağlıklı ve aktif bireylerin yetiştirilmesi için önemli mekânlardır. Ayrıca öğrencilerin öğrenme kapasiteleri için de çok büyük bir öneme sahiptirler. Okul bahçeleri çocukların yaşam kalitelerinin önemli bir belirleyicisi olduğu için bu çalışma kapsamında bir ilköğretim okul bahçesi iki aşamalı olarak değerlendirilmiştir. I. aşamada okul bahçesinin çocuklara sağladığı olanaklar ile mekânsal özellikler ilişkilendirilmiştir. II. Aşamada ise 7 yaş grubu çocukların hayal ettikleri okul bahçesinin resmini çizmeleri istenmiştir. Bu resimler araştırmacılar tarafından, içerdikleri olanaklar açısından değerlendirildi ve sayısal verilere dönüştürüldü. Araştırmanın sonuçları, okul bahçesinin çocukların fiziksel ve sosyal anlamda gelişimini destekleyecek nitelikte olmadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Oysaki çocukların hayallerindeki okul bahçesinde: doğal bileşenler ağırlıkta olmak üzere, oyun donatıları ve oturma elemanları gibi çocukların doğa ile etkileşimini sağlayacak, fiziksel aktivitelerini artıracak ve sosyalleşmelerine imkân sağlayacak mekân bileşenleri vardır.
