Abstract
This systematic review discusses 25 recent studies (from 2000 to 2019, 13 quantitative and 12 qualitative) on the associations between neighbourhood characteristics and outdoor play of children (7– 14 years old). Both physical and social contexts are shown to influence outdoor play, though studies differ on which elements matter most. Play-friendly environments with informal and safe opportunities are more stimulating than formal playgrounds. Moreover, parents’ social safety concerns limit children’s independent outdoor play. Investigation of moderating factors is limited to age and gender differences and offers inconclusive evidence. Further research should collect evidence from both parents’ and children’s perspectives on how and for whom neighbourhood features matter.

The journal bridges the gap between continental European practices of geography and the Anglo-American traditions by including articles from both regions. The Tijdschrift is a channel for the dissemination of new perspectives, ideas and approaches to the study of human geography.
