Figure 5
A diagram showing children’s behavioural shifts after C O V I D-19 and their possible reasons based on interview evidence.The diagram is titled “Children’s shifting behaviours after C O V I D-19 Pandemic”. Two downward arrows extend from the title to two separate tables arranged horizontally from left to right. The left upper table contains three columns labeled “Synthesised Interpretation”, “Exemplary quotes of selected codes”, and “Interviewee reference”. Synthesised Interpretation: A shift of children’s repeated visit to neighbouring H D M A-U G S s. Exemplary quotes of selected codes: Children walking in nature, spending extended periods, and repeating these experiences are the most important for them in fostering a natural connection. (N E 3). Interviewee reference: S R 3, N E 3, N E 4, N E 5, N E 7, E P 5, M P 5, N E 10. The right upper table contains the same column labels “Synthesised Interpretation”, “Exemplary quotes of selected codes”, and “Interviewee reference”. Synthesised Interpretation: A shift of children’s preference on informal H D M A-U G S s. Exemplary quotes of selected codes: Children started to explore whatever green spaces they could find that were close when the playground equipment was closed. (E P 4). Interviewee reference: S R 1, M P 2, S R 3, E P 3, N E 1, N E 2, M P 4, N E 3, N E 4, E P 4, N E 6, N E 7, N E 8, N E 9, M P 5, N E 10. Two solid lines extend from the two upper tables and converge into a single downward arrow that points to the bottom table titled “Possible reasons for these shifts in behaviours”. This table contains three columns labeled “Synthesised Interpretation”, “Exemplary quotes of selected codes”, and “Interviewee reference”. Row 1 Synthesised Interpretation: Impact of the C O V I D-19 pandemic policies and requirements. Exemplary quotes of selected codes: Lots of children are discovering what is in their local area which they may not have done before. (E P 4). Interviewee reference: M P 3, E P 1, E P 2, E P 3, N E 1, N E 2, N E 3, E P 4, N E 7, E P 5, N E 9, N E 10. Row 2 Synthesised Interpretation: Impact of interventions (local outdoor programs) by local educators. Exemplary quotes of selected codes: We [the interviewee] are very deliberate in ensuring the benefits to children when they are out in urban spaces in our programs. (M P 1). Interviewee reference: M P 1, M P 3, E P 1, E P 2, E P 3, N E 1, N E 2, N E 3, E P 4, N E 7, E P 5, N E 9, N E 10.
