Abstract: Abstract This research is a about relation of SCI factors and children’s design priorities during 15 years in Child-Friendly City project of BAM. The main research question is: whether design priorities in children’s Participatory Design projects, change over time. In this research, PAR method is used in which the researcher is a part of the research process qualitative research methods with correlation analysis are used. Research tools such as: questionnaires, focused group, puzzle, Spatial Matrix, Model have been used during the research. The results show that the rate of students’ sense of community is still high (73% in 2008 and 75% in 2018). Design priorities of the students are still the same as the 15 years from now; style (0.631) and light (0.60) have the highest regression coefficient and Greenspace (56.52%) and a Shaded space (56.52%) have been the most important priority for children over time. Participatory design of children in a context with a common sense of community can be valid over time and increase their satisfaction with the environment. The results show that over time, the design priorities remain the same if SCI is high, which shows the strong relationship between SCI in children’s CA. Nature and Climate There have been two leading and constant indicators for children’s spaces design over time.
