Children are an important and sensitive group whose opinion and wishes should be asked about their living environment. This causes the formation of child-friendly neighborhoods that meet their needs. The reason for choosing South Poonk neighborhood was the car traffic, high density and low participation of children in the neighborhood. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify the ways of children's participation in order to create child-friendly neighborhoods. The research method is descriptive-analytical. The research is of an applied type and in terms of location, it is a field and documentary research. The statistical population is children under the age of 18 in South Pounak neighborhood, which includes 7291 people and about 20.5% of the population of the area. One of the methods of children's participation is to draw a picture, which children are chosen by a simple random method. Therefore, by analyzing the children's drawings, it is possible to direct the South Pounak neighborhood to be child-friendly. The research results from the examination of 50 children's drawings show that 19 categories were liked and noticed by children. Among the categories, respectively, active and passive interaction with the natural and artificial environment, as well as climatic comfort have the most attention and access to public transportation, creating special routes for cycling and walking, were less important in children's drawings. Also, the environmental dimension is ranked first with 26.45% and transportation is ranked last with 6.07% from the point of view of children. Therefore, it is possible to create child-friendly neighborhoods by involving children.

In 2018, about fifty-five percent of the world's population lived in urban areas and is projected to increase to sixty-eight percent by 2050. The increasing population of cities emphasizes the optimal use of urban neighborhoods for housing. Urban morphology is one of the topics related to the population of neighborhoods. The purpose of this study is to identify morphological indices in the middle scale and explain the relationship between morphology of residential areas and the population living in them. First, based on the internal-cognitive approach, the opinions of thinkers in the field of morphology were examined and the criteria of "land use diversity", "road network pattern", "compaction" and "public transportation network pattern" were identified in 9 indicators on a local scale. Then, the indicators were measured by space layout and network analysis by Depthmap10 and GIS software in 12 neighborhoods of Tehran. In the next step, first the normality of the data was checked by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test method and the correlation of morphological variables with the population index of the neighborhoods was evaluated by Pearson two-way correlation method and SPSS16 software. The results show that the interconnection index with an intensity of 0.724 has the highest correlation and access to public transportation with an intensity of 0.578 has the lowest correlation with the population index. Examining the severity of correlations provides an opportunity for better prioritization to intervene in the existing fabric of neighborhoods with the aim of resettling the population. The results can be used in the field of evaluation criteria for residential design options, selection of road network and quantitative and qualitative assessment of preparation plans in order to accommodate more population and setting the criteria for detailed plans.
