Rural Youth and Leisure
Milan Župančić
Sažetak
The article discusses certain problems connected with the leisure of young
people in rural communities. The author first briefly refers to certain features
marking leisure both in traditional and in industrial and urban communities.
He finds that most of the current investigations by sociologists are concerned
with leisure in urban communities, although the rural way of life also knows
leisure though in a different form and with a different content.
In the second part of his article the author refers to the results of an
empirical investigation of the contents of leisure of young people in rural communities.,
Their interests and activities during leisure appear to cover a very
broad area. Young people are increasingly adopting urban contents such as the
use of means of mass communications, dancing, etc., although a certain measure
of traditionalism can still be observed.
In rural communities the facilities available for spending leisure in an
organized way are extremely inadequate.
As regards the manner in which young people spend their hours of leisure,
sports take first place followed by visits to the local pub and the reading of newspapers
and periodicals. Most young girls spend their leisure time in sewing,
embroidery work, reading and conversation with their girl friends.
A comparison of the main contents of leisure of young men and young girls
reveals considerable differences which arise from the fact that in rural communities
young girls are more affected by traditions and social control than are
boys or young men.
