Abstract
Child Friendly Cities (CFC) is a framework for action with the aim of implementing the UN CRC led by local government in an urban context. A number of surveys with 755 children and adolescents were conducted in order to assess the community`s child-friendliness level of Seoul. The results of this study were as follows:1) Comprehensive assessment of the city`s child-friendliness was overall seen to be negative. 2) In regards to the city`s child-friendliness, the assessments of Children were more positive than those of the adolescents. 3) Boys assessed the city`s child-friendliness more positively than girls. 4) The children and adolescents living in more wealthy communities assessed the city`s child-friendliness more positively than those living in poorer areas. This study suggested that a local action plan for the Child Friendly Cities must be implemented to fulfill the CFC standards.
