The conclusion are as follows; First, the types of 'Good Leisure' were classified as 4 types. Second, the type 1, 'Psychological Stability Pursue Type' recognizes 'Good Leisure' when they feel comfort and relaxed through activities. The type 2, 'Emotional Stability and Self-development Type' recognized 'Good Leisure' when they are pleased, or engaged in self-development activities. The type 3, 'Practical Use Pursue and Information Acquisition Type', recognizes 'Good Leisure' when they learn things necessary for living with less cost, and type 4, 'Acculturation and Exchange Type' recognizes 'Good Leisure' when they learn Korean culture or interact with Korean people.
