Abstract

Desa Meat merupakan sebuah desa wisata yang berada di tepian Danau Toba, Sumatera Utara. Lokasi desa Meat berada di bagian selatan Danau Toba yang membentuk teluk serta memiliki waktu tempuh sekitar tiga puluh menit berkendara dari ibukota kabupaten Toba Samosir, Balige. Anak-anak berusia lima sampai dua belas tahun di desa Meat berjumlah 115 orang dan menempuh pendidikan taman kanak-kanak dan sekolah dasar. Lokasi yang cukup sulit dijangkau serta jarak ke Balige yang cukup jauh membuat anak-anak memiliki fasilitas bermain yang relatif terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memetakan area dan kegiatan bermain anak-anak di desa Meat. Metode penelitian kualitatif telah digunakan untuk mengumpulkan dan menganalisis data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ruang-ruang terbuka yang digunakan anak-anak sebagai ruang bermain, pelataran dan tepian danau menjadi area yang paling banyak digunakan. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa anak-anak di desa Meat sangat mengoptimalkan potensi ruang terbuka dan alam sebagai ruang bermain mereka.
