Abstract

This paper deals with the topics of economic situation of families and the attitudes of respondents to the role of the state in social politics and social justice as the divergence factors influencing the choices of leisure-time activities in the lives of people. Our intention is to present the results of our own research which was carried out in the form of a questionnaire survey in 2016. One of its main objectives was to find out whether the economic situation of respondent's families and their attitudes to social politics have an influence on the choice of leisure-time activities, which make an important part of daily life. For this purpose, over 2,300 respondents from the Czech Republic filled in the questionnaire. For the measurement of leisure The Catalogue of Leisure Activities was used and the hypothesis has been tested using the chi square test. The leisure catalog used for research divides activities into nine major categories which represent all possible activities realized in daily life. The catalog is constructed and sorted numerically and into groups the activities according to subject into subcategories (decadic) and categories (hundreds). We found out both presumed hypothesis could be admitted, and all divergence making factors were confirmed. Based on these finding we discussed the forms of these influences and the possibilities how to manage the leisure activities for different families.
