The effects of regular and active leisure activities on positive growth and development in adolescents are widely known. In our society, however, it is challenging to enjoy or expand such activities due to diverse constraints. Under unfavorable circumstances, this study attempted to investigate the application of time availability for liberal leisure activities as a way to help adolescents engage in active leisure activities. Specifically, this study examined the relationship between time availability (both individual and structural) and the time invested in leisure activities at youth training centers which support such leisure activities. The study found the following results: As both individual and structural time availability expanded, the time invested in leisure activities increased as well. Based on these results, this study discussed policy and practice implications regarding the support of adolescents' leisure activities.

본 연구는 같은 동양문화권에 속하면서도 사회·문화적 배경이 다른 한국과 일본 대학생들을 대상으로 라이프스타일 특성과 여가시간 활용을 비교 분석하므로써 양국대학생들의 소 비문화를 추론하는데 초점을 두고 있다. 새로운 세대로 지칭되는 대학생들은 이미 새로운 수요를 창출하는 세분시장으로서 마케터들의 관심을 모으고 있지만, 국가간 시장을 세분화하고 그에 따른 적절한 마케팅 전략을 구사하는 것이 과연 효과적인가를 탐색해 보는 것이 본 연구의 목표이다. 라이프스타일은 AIO 분석에 근거하여 의생활분야, 구매 및 쇼핑분야, 가치관분야, 정보추구분야, 인터넷 광고분야 등의 다섯 가지 영역으로 구분하고 양국 대학생들을 대상으로 자료를 수집하였다. 각 영역별로 요인분석을 실시하여 모두 23개의 요인이 도출되었고, 양국 대학생 집단은 모두 18개 부문에서 차이를 보였으며 5개 부문에서는 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 여가 및 시간활용에서는 양국 대학생 집단간에 차이를 보이는 항목이 많았으며, 인구 통계적 요인이 국적과 상호작용을 통해 여가활동에 서로 다르게 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 사회·문화적 환경이 다른 소비자 집단의 특성을 이해하고 여가활동 유형과 여가시간 활용에 따라 차별화를 가능하게 함으로써 국제적인 마케팅전략수립을 위해 효과적인 시장세분화 기준을 제공하고 소비패턴 분석을 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, we propose and implement an application that recommends safe paths for outdoor leisure activity of women based on Space Syntax theory. Compared to general navigation systems which focuses on the shortest time or the shortest distance, the proposed application makes safe paths the first priority. It generates path recommendation with regard to accessibility of travel time and correlation of regions and considers various risk factors for searching for the safest path. Concludingly, the employed Space Syntax algorithm enables the women users to select their own customized paths.

Robust quantitative measures were developed from rich qualitative data. The five dimensions selected from two preliminary tests were being away, technical enhancement, fascination with nature, challenge, and interpersonal trust. The cognitive dimensions have a significant effect on the emotional arousal - pleasure dimension. Our study also shows a positive causal relationship between emotional experience and adherence intention. Implications of this study include 1) a developed questionnaire for measuring the cognitive experience dimension of adventure leisure and establishing a foundation for future research, and 2) an identified psychological model among cognitive, emotion, and intention.

The purpose of the current study was to examine the validity of the Leisure Satisfaction Scale(LSS) and confirm the relations between the LSS and subjective well-being. The LSS developed by Beard and Ragheb[9] has been used for about 20 years without the examination of the validity since it was utilized in Lee[2]'s study in Korea. First, all items of the original LSS and the operational definition of factors were translated and then inversely translated, and reviewed by experts in leisure studies. A total of 515 respondents participated in the study. To achieve the goals of this study, item-total correlation, correlation analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, multiple regression and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted by SPSS 14.0 and AMOS 5.0 programs. Main findings are as follows: First, the factor names(psychological, educational, social, physical, esthetic, and relaxation) and items were modified. Second, modified operational definition of factors were presented. The reliability and validity of the LSS consisted of 24 items and five factors were very high. Psychological and relaxation factors of LSS affected subjective well-being positively. The new LSS would be useful for the future studies associated with leisure satisfaction.

This study examined the relationship between leisure needs and perception of psycho-social aging among 1307 older adults aged over 60 years utilizing social services of a social welfare center for senior citizens in Seoul, Korea. A convenience sample of this study was collected for three weeks in December 2012 among older adults via paper survey. Hierarchical multiple regression was utilized to analyze collected data. The present study demonstrated that age, years of education, perception of health status, and perception of economic status were significantly associated with perception of successful aging. However, years of education and perception of economic status were no longer significantly associated with perception of psycho-social aging, when leisure needs was included. Age, perception of health status, and hobbies/entertainment activities and employment/plan of later years activities among types of leisure needs were significantly associated with perception of psycho-social aging. This finding demonstrates that leisure needs influence perception of psycho-social aging. Implications and suggestions to improve perception of psycho-social aging among older adults are discussed.
