Children's psychologically important places and their neighborhood activities were investigated in open-ended field interviews and behavioral observations in a typical Korean high-density apartment neighborhood. Interview data were analyzed in conjunction with behavioral data. The analysis reveals that there is correspondence between domain of children's neighborhood uses and domain of their places of psychological significance. The children tended to make such valued places in accessible, proximate designated play areas. Meanings associated with such places indicated that possibility for pursuing desired activities and behavioral opportunities or functional supports are important aspects of the psychological experiences in the places. Places are settings where their sociophysical features support children's preferred, joyful, and important day-to-day activities. Activities in the places (and near the places) differed from activities outside the places: the former were, in general, more place-specific, resource-dependent, and purposive whereas the latter were relatively transient, short-lived, and environmentally independent. The study concludes that the behavioral domain contributes to the psychological domain and yet there are some activities more effective than others.
