Perceived environmental barriers and facilitators of refugee children ’s physical activity in/around refugee accommodation: a qualitative case study in Berlin

ConclusionsRefugee children perceive a lack of space and safety when attempting to play in the existing micro and meso environments. Related practitioners should focus on providing more play spaces in micro environments and safe access to existing neighbourhood playfields. These efforts can augment much-needed research on strategies to better integrate refuge facilities to their urban context and essential in minimising current health and spatial inequality issues these vulnerable groups face across Germany and worldwide.
