Abstract
Leisure guidelines can provide the ground for effective decision making in policies targeting the improvement of life standards of people, by allowing the comparison of the leisure types by social groups, classes and sectors. In this regard, development of leisure guidelines may find its importance in providing a criterion for estimating people`s life qualities and diagnosing the leisure activities of each group and social class. With the advance of medical technology and improvement of life standards, we have already entered the aging society. However, most elderly citizens are wasting time in a meaningless manner, attributed to the passive attitude of the elderly themselves and poor recognitions by people of the leisure. The extended life span of the population has resulted in the increased time of leisure, which, in turn, has turned out to be a serious issue for both the individuals and society. We need to encourage the elderly to enjoy their leisure activities in a more active way for their successful management of their post-retirement lives. From these aspects, this study aims to develop guidelines for some established leisure activities for the elderly.
