Abstract

This paper deals with the topic of selected social determinants and their influence on the choice of leisure-time activities. Our intention is to present the results of 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 selected social determinants (gender, age, education, fathers and mothers education and employment status) have the influence on choice of leisure-time activities within different types of social groups. For this purpose, over 2,300 respondents from the Czech Republic filled in the questionnaire. For the measurement of leisure activities a Catalog of Leisure Activities was used, and the hypotheses have been tested using the chi square test. The leisure catalogue used for research divides activities into nine major categories which represents all possible activities realized in daily life. The catalogue was constructed and organized in a numeric fashion and groups the activities according to subject into subcategories (decadic) and categories (hundreds). We found all the hypotheses were admitted, and all presumed influences were confirmed. Based on these findings we discussed the forms of these influences and the possibilities how to manage the leisure activities of different social groups.
