LEISURE AND QUALITY OF LIFE

LEISURE AND QUALITY OF LIFE
It is true that people in advanced industrial societies are increasingly concerned with opportunities for leisure and what they can do in their leisure time. That is to say, we are attaching more importance to our “quality of life”.
Generally speaking, the term” quality of life” covers a very wide scope such as living environment, health, employment, food, family life, friends, education, material possessions, leisure and recreation, and so on.
Since Leisure is so essential in our quality of life, we can speak highly of its functions as following: relaxation, recreation and entertainment, and personal development. But leisure is basically self-determined, so everyone is able to take to his own interests and preferences and get involved in an activity in ways that will bring enjoyment and satisfaction.
