Popis:	Recently, accidents arising from the use of playground equipment have frequently occurred in urban parks in various areas of Japan and are recognized as social issue. Osaka Prefectural Park Association, which manages 14 prefectural parks in Osaka, has been promoting a “Zero-Accident Plan on the Use of Playground Equipment”, and undertaking actions to prevent such accidents since 2004. In this study, we conducted an aural survey of the consciousness of playground users at the Adventure-Land in “Osaka Prefectural Oizumi-Ryokuchi”, located in southern Osaka, central Japan, and analyzed the data mainly based on age and the frequency of use, to consider methods for preventing these accidents. Consequently, recognition of fun and danger with regard to the equipment was significantly different among groups classified by age and/or frequency of use. From our results, we were able to construct recognition characteristics for danger in the use of the equipment.
