Children’s Nature Use and Related Constraints: Nationwide Parental Surveys from Norway in 2013 and 2023
Abstract
1. Introduction
- -
- Which outdoor activities are Norwegian children engaged in, how often, and what are the main changes?
- -
- What are the main constraints on children’s nature engagement, and what are the main changes?
- -
- What kinds of demographic and social variables may explain the observed pattern of constraints?
2. Constraints on Children’s Use of Nearby Nature
2.1. An Ecological Model for Studying Constraints for Outdoor Play
- Individual, also called ‘intra-personal’ (especially in psychological terms), such as self-image, interests/preferences, age, stage of life, physical health, knowledge, disability, anxiety, fear, attitudes, and personal norms.
- Social, called ‘inter-personal’, such as social circle, lack of play companions, family responsibilities, and a social network for outdoor play.
- Structural, relating to both the private and external environment, such as the socio-cultural factors, economic factors, transportation, time constraints, physical access to play in areas, and the distance to and quality of outdoor spaces. Institutional constraints (e.g., fees, restrictions) are included in this category but are considered less important in Norway due to common rights of access.
2.2. Motivation and Individual/Intra-Personal Constraints
2.3. Social/Inter-Personal Constraints
2.4. Structural Constraints and Environmental Quality
3. Material and Methods
3.1. Target Population, Sampling Technique, and Sample

4. Results
4.1. Changes in Children’s Outdoor Use in Different Neighborhood Settings
4.2. Changes in Parents’ Experiences of Constraints for Children and Youth to Be Outdoors in Natural Settings
4.3. Constraints on Being Outdoors Associated with Demographic, Socio-Economic, and Social Variables
5. Discussion and Conclusions
5.1. Comprehensive Decrease in Children’s Greenspace Use
