Abstract

A decrease in direct interaction between children and their surroundings world, which is conducive to both learning and play, has resulted from the rapid development of technology. Children have a preference for remaining indoors and utilising intelligent applications to avoid interacting with the outside world. Furthermore, an observation made by the researcher during the rehabilitation of outdoor open spaces reveals a dearth of appealing outdoor educational entertainment choices in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This dearth impedes the development of children's cognitive and physical capabilities and prevents them from actively engaging with the external environment. This study investigates how, by incorporating the nine types of intelligence and using artificial intelligence applications and geographic information systems software, we may construct outdoor play places for children based on David Sobel's concepts with the goal of achieving the goals specified in Vision 2030.
