Leisure, Use of Leisure Time, and Forms of Recreation in Rural Communities
Miro A. Mihovilović
Sažetak
The article is based on the results of an investigation carried out in the
coastal village of Filip Jakov in summer 1967.
Like most villages in the coastal belt Filip Jakov too has benefited from the
development of the tourist trade in recent years. As a result, the inhabitants’ daily
programme for spending their leisure time, the traditional forms and manners of
recreation have underwent certain changes.
The author discusses the general difference between the daily rhythm of life
and work in rural and urban communities and goes on to describe the characteristics
of the village, its inhabitants, and the persons interviewed (heads of households).
He discusses in particular the various form and manners in which the
inhabitants spend their free time both on working days and, especially, on Sunday
and holidays and during their annual leave.
A compaaraison between the pre-war and current forms in which free time is
spent shows that various popular forms of entertainment (social events, singing,
j eel dancing, etc.) have disappeared to be replaced primarily by mass communication
media (radio, TV, cinema). However, many traditional forms of recreation
still survive such as card playing, ball games, social conversation, etc. which have
always been a feature oi social life in Mediterranean communities.
