For this purpose, the Ergonomic Methodology of the Built Environment - MEAC was used, where the methodological steps were applied in a sequential phase, from the characterization of the selected environments, the interpretation and perception of users to the recommendations and diagnoses after analyzing these data. The collected data was based on the: 1- Literature and State of the Art Review; 2- Environmental Configuration; 3- Global Analysis of the Environment; 4- User Perception and 5- Ergonomic Recommendations. Finally, the purpose is to understand children's behavior in their living space, in relation to their dynamics, uses and routines, as well as relating the influence of the internal spatial configuration of the development of these activities and understand how their adults who living in that spaces see the relationship between child and environment, in order to bring architectural suggestions that provide safety, well-being, good relationship between the space and the user, autonomy that the child needs to perform daily tasks and balance between the different users who cohabit the living space.
