Leisure activities pursued during long range space missions should not be considered by planners as merely a way of filling in time. Current astronaut selection procedure tends to favor those who in leisure time in a spacecraft will spontaneously pursue mission-oriented activities, making the most of whatever facilities are available. With provision of an appropriate climate and opportunity, encouragement can be given to furtherance of the creative use of leisure for self-development of the persons involved. Provision should be made for both active recreation, as in hobbies, communal games, and even music making, and for passive enjoyment as in listening to recorded music and radio, watching television and movies, and reading.

Nos últimos anos a visitação de Unidades de Conservação para fins recreativos tornou-se bastante popular, algo que pode ser percebido no Parque Estadual do Cocó (PEC). Trata-se de um parque urbano, localizado, especialmente, na zona leste da cidade de Fortaleza no Estado do Ceará. Apesar de ter sido criado com o objetivo de proteger seus recursos naturais e a biodiversidade, é possível a realização de atividades recreativas de baixo impacto. No entanto, é necessário saber se essas atividades estão compatibilizadas com a resiliência do ambiente, pois impactos adversos podem ocorrer por conta dos limiares da capacidade de carga do local. A partir dessa observação, o presente estudo pretende traçar o seu perfil do visitante, identificar as principais atividades recreativas e avaliar os níveis de satisfação com as funções sociais (lazer e recreação) e ambientais (qualidade do ambiente) do parque. Para isso, foi feita uma pesquisa bibliográfica e foram realizadas 3 visitas de campo e aplicado um formulário com os visitantes do parque. Os resultados indicam que a maioria dos visitantes é jovem, com idade entre 20-24 anos.Palavras-chave: Unidade de Conservação; Parque do Cocó; recreação; uso público. ABSTRACT In recent years the visitation of Conservation Units for recreational purposes has become quite popular, something that can be noticed in Parque Estadual do Cocó (PEC). It is an urban park, located especially in the eastern part of the city of Fortaleza in the state of Ceará. Although designed to protect its natural resources and biodiversity, low impact recreational activities are possible. However, it is necessary to know if these activities are compatible with the resilience of the environment, as adverse impacts may occur due to site carrying capacity thresholds. From this observation, the present study intends to trace its visitor profile, identify the main recreational activities and evaluate the satisfaction levels with the social (leisure and recreation) and environmental (environmental quality) functions of the park. For this, a bibliographic research was made and 3 field visits were made and a form was applied with the park visitors. Results indicate that most visitors are young, aged 20-24 years.Keywords: Conservation Unit; Parque do Cocó; recreation; public use. RESUMENEn los últimos años, la visita de Unidades de Conservación con fines recreativos se ha vuelto bastante popular, algo que se puede notar en el Parque Estadual do Cocó (PEC).

The subject of the study is to evaluate the Niğde Akkaya Dam with SWOT analysis and to make recommendations in terms of recreational use. The aim of the study is to identify the strengths and weaknesses, threats and opportunities of the Akkaya dam and to determine its goals and strategies in terms of recreation. In line with this purpose, the socio-economic, cultural and natural features, landscape potential of the area were evaluated using the SWOT, the opportunities that the positive and negative aspects of the area, were presented, and the possible or existing threats were determined. At the same time, the current recreation potential of the dam was determined, and suggestions were developed in line with the data in order to offer alternatives that can be evaluated in terms of sustainable use of the areas. It was determined that pollution occurs in the dam water due to environmental wastes, as a result of this pollution, harmful creatures multiply and bad smells are formed. However, it is accepted that the dam is home to a large number of migratory birds, that it has not lost its naturalness, and that most of the dam is in the university campus. Threats to the dam are; low water level, fishing, duck hunting etc. damage to ecological life due to activities, smell gradually increased. Their opportunities are determined as providing a suitable environment for bird watching, having a suitable infrastructure for ecological research, and being suitable for recreational activities for water. At the end of the study, suggestions were developed in terms of suitability of Akkaya Dam for recreational activities.

The Relationship

In our article we deal with leisure activities and travel habits of 150 college students from Szolnok. We have analyzed the relationship between the frequencies of watching TV, that is: the time spent watching TV and doing sports. Furthermore, we have also investigated the frequencies of travels, and main motives of choosing travel destinations. We have found that college students have several hours of leisure time daily. Among the recreational activities, the ones that occurred predominantly are watching TV, doing sports, and travelling. It is interesting to note that the relationship between the frequency of watching TV and doing sports has not been significant while the relationship between watching TV occasionally and doing regular physical activity has turned out to be significant. Students who play sports for 1-2 hours a day spend significantly less time in front of the TV compared to their peers who do not do sports. 92% of the students travel at least once a year. The participants of youth tourism are quite price-conscious. In choosing travel destinations favorable prices play an important role.
