Abstract :The built environment\\\'s design greatly influences children\\\'s growth, well-being, and daily experiences. As urbanization advances and the number of children worldwide grows, there is an increasing need to examine how urban and architectural spaces might be adapted to meet the special needs of children and encourage their holistic development. In recent decades, a large body of literature has evolved from various disciplines, including architecture, urban and regional planning, and interior design, that investigates children\\\'s perspectives on their personal experiences. This paper presents a summary of methodological and ethical factors that researchers should consider when designing research projects with children, as well as methodologies and procedures for extracting their ideas in architecture. The publication invites researchers to think critically about these methodological concerns and the processes they choose to apply in this article, as they are intended to have a scientific impact on data collection and analysis for methodology in children\\\'s research. A combination of techniques was employed in the research after doing a comprehensive literature review, scientific mapping, and content analysis. The study\\\'s findings indicate that concepts such as children, education, playground, and inclusive design are useful. Furthermore, extensive analyses of the methodology used in children research were offered.
