여가,레크리에이션학 : 여가 연구 경향 분석 = Analysis on the tendency of Leisure Study

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to address the current issue toward leisure study which is based on the analysis on the tendency to leisure study, and to provide information and knowledge which can make leisure study come into scientific field of study. The results of this study is as follow:

1) The study focused on leisure is continually increasing, which means people's interests throughout entire society are getting bigger, and the diversity in a branch of study and subjects prove that multi-scientific and total-social character on leisure study have been preformed. In particular, economic crisis since IMF and the increase of interest in 5 day work week day influence on policies and industry which is related to leisure study. It is regretful that leisure study is not secured as a theological field of study and the study which is conducted by national level is being decreased.

2) we found that there are common points between topic and subject between each study, which shows that there soon will be a cooperation among studies. Of course, many scholars have already warned the danger of narrow research on leisure study, therefore, joint study between each field should be performed more objectively as soon as possible so that it could make leisure study as a more meaningful and prospective field of study.

3) Leisure studies being performed in domestic level have been so much focused on survey and literature research. In contrast, we found that various research method are being used, which we can predict the future of leisure study positively. However, comparing to other field of study, sports study including leisure study is tend to depend on questionnaire, which is not desirable as a sports study which is located in quantitatively and historically advanced position.
