Fifteen go-along interviews created the basis for the identification of the leading features that influence the possibility of adolescent inclusion. Among them: the regional scale of the space, a wide range of possible activities, "owning" space, withdrawal from control, isolation and, simultaneously, the possibility of socialization with peers and other users.
