The dynamic and complex nature of children's sense of physical environment (Lim, Barton, 2010) with respect to the location of the space concerning cultural conditions, relations, and parameters direct design criteria to meet pedagogic, physiologic, and biological needs and requirements of the children in the preschool interiors. This enquiry has g...

... To further address RQ1, the research findings of the selected literature were classified into spatial environmental categories that primarily focused on deriving children's needs from spatial attributes to design configurations within the context of spatial environments. These studies explored various spatial features (Firth & Jayadas, 2022;Khudhair & Jasim, 2020;Yalcin et al., 2017), such as design approaches for green spaces and ecological perspectives, and how they can be transformed into tangible design characteristics and strategies in a comprehensive relationship system encompassing diverse elements (Dumitru et al., 2020;Metallinou, 2006;Thompson Coon et al., 2011). Different types of spatial environments require different strategies to improve people's health and well-being owing to their inherent properties and varying user needs. ...
... Children develop language and social skills through play (Baek et al., 2017;Yalçın et al., 2017). While child development occurs mostly at home, daycare centres, which are public buildings that children aged 0-5 encounter for the first time after leaving their homes (Bakr et al., 2018;Kim, 2015), are key spaces for children to grow and develop, as these are defined as "garden [s] for children" (Dudek, 2005). ...

Purpose Though daycare centres are built to facilitate children's social and physical growth, divergent stakeholder perceptions yield conflicts while managing risks for each space due to the minimal guidelines in the Republic of Korea. Due to the unclearly defined knowledge and experience gap between representative stakeholders, teachers have difficulties in operating it with high satisfaction. This study therefore was conducted to systematically identify which parts of performance should be increased to preferentially increase end-user satisfaction in limited resources. Design/methodology/approach This research conducted quantitative analysis gradually. Importance–performance analysis (IPA) grasped the perceptions of construction practitioners and end-users after identifying space composition and representative risks of daycare centres. Based on the factors influencing perception differences, principal component analysis and structural equation modelling (SEM) were conducted to determine which space improves the performance preferentially to increase overall end-user satisfaction. Findings As the utilisation of indoor spaces increases after COVID-19, improvement of indoor spaces except for indoor playroom is necessary, especially, advancement of the quality of teachers' rooms. Practical implications Outputs by reflecting the end-user experiences support to understand which spaces are managed from the limited resources. Originality/value Theoretical framework for daycare centre was established in Korea where guidelines were insufficient, and differences in perception of each risk of stakeholders were identified. Moreover, gradual statistical analysis was set to construct end-user-focused centres by extracting where the performance of space should be improved in prior.
... Consequently, the development and growth of children are key values for a daycare center, also described as the "garden for children" (Dudek 2005). Therefore, daycare centers should provide for children's behavioral capabilities by enhancing their senses, such as touch, smell, visual, and auditory senses, using stimuli and by increasing their confidence levels and communication skills (Costa and Bauer 2020;Yalçın et al. 2017). ...
... Security and protection against external threats need to be included and managed for each safety category; however, child development is abstract and is judged by other criteria such as comfort, aesthetics, functionality, and convenience (Mohidin et al. 2015). Therefore, it is important to determine whether the space is physically safe and aesthetically pleasing as well as whether the external environment around the daycare center is secure and controllable (Yalçın et al. 2017). ...
... Comfort is a risk factor that must be controlled to maintain a better environment. Window placement and direction to ensure pleasant light and humidity is essential for indoor spaces, and prevention against noise and dust should be considered in the playground (Baek et al. 2017;Yalçın et al. 2017). Odors from the kitchen and during mealtimes impact comfort and necessitate an adequate ventilation system (Lee et al. 2022a;Kim 2015). ...

Daycare centers are the first spaces where children develop social relationships and enhance their senses through public education. Despite its significance, marginal guidelines are provided for the design of centers in the Republic of Korea (ROK); thus, clients have different perceptions of the priority of functions. To bridge these gaps, in this study, guideline for daycare center planning were established by applying value management (VM), rarely introduced in the ROK. First, importance-performance analysis was conducted to identify the gap between the ideal and status of daycare centers based on the developed framework. The analysis results explain the attitude toward risk perception of end-users and construction practitioners. The VM workshop process was then executed thoroughly, and diverse perceptions of risk factors for each space in the daycare center were moderated to propose a sample drawing and guideline. Compared with existing drawings, the room arrangement was improved for utilization and safety, and materials were developed to increase eco-friendliness and safety. The introduction of VM to establish daycare center guidelines suggested that continuous communication to coordinate perceptions supports the integration of stakeholder opinions based on the required space with reduced risks. The unification of the overall goal with a reasonable solution could be identified through the VM process. However, the lack of top management support and inexperience in VM are hindrances to overcome in the context of the ROK. Therefore, the encouragement of clients’ participation actively and systematically in the VM process by establishing governance is necessary to increase user satisfaction and outputs.

The right to education is guaranteed by international and national documents and laws. However, the exercise of this right may be complex for certain groups of children and adolescents, and deficient in terms of matching the specific needs of children and adolescents with the opportunities offered by the education system. Children and adolescents placed in correctional facilities are vulnerable and marginalised in this regard. The issue of education of adolescents placed in correctional facilities is complex due to the interaction between individual, family, and social (structural) factors. This paper deals with the issue of education of adolescents in correctional facilities in Croatia, and presents data related to education from two recent studies conducted in correctional facilities, especially in the context of individual risk factors in adolescents and the availability of educational programmes in correctional facilities.
