Abstract
This paper examines the role of the contrasting specialization and integration developments in science and society. Particular attention is focused on the development of leisure, recreation, and tourism within modern industrialized society and on feasible scientific approaches as applied to the study of leisure activities. The evolution of leisure reveals a continued societal preference for increased income over leisure. This phenomenon has resulted in a drive towards ostentatious consumption, less free time, and large scale differentiation in leisure activities. The birth of modern mass tourism is one example. Such segmentation is characterized by specialized disciplinary know-how and analytic/fragmented policies. Intersector comparison of such policies shows they produce external costs which can only be avoided if an integrated approach is pursued. The paper argues for a new multidisciplinary focus on socioeconomics of leisure.
