Abstract

Sociologists believe that LEISURE is an entirely new phenomenon of urban and industrial societies which cannot be compared with past centuries’ unemployment. Meanwhile, the world's population is aging now, and our country following the world's population has progressed towards aging during the last two decades. THE ELDERLY, at this stage of their life are freer and enjoy more LEISURE. This study aimed at identifying whether there exists any difference between LEISURE requirements and the choice of proper place for spending free time among THE ELDERLY in the 2nd and 5th districts of Isfahan province. These regions were selected because of having a different structure in terms of social and cultural status. In this research, descriptive-analytic methods were used and the intended population consisted of THE ELDERLY people selected from districts 2nd and 5th in Isfahan. The sample size was obtained through Cochrane method and based on 2006 Population and Housing census, and the differentiation of new urban districts (14 districts) was updated by the governor of Isfahan Planning Department. To assess the presence or absence of difference in interest and LEISURE requirements of THE ELDERLY in the two districts and the priority of selecting places for spending free time and comparing it in the two districts, the Mc-Whitney correlation test was used. In fact, this test is used for comparing the average of two or more societies. The obtained results indicated that, there is a significant difference among the requirements and subjective choice of the free time of THE ELDERLY in the two districts as well as willingness to use specific places. Thus, offering a uniform suggestion for all urban areas regarding the provision of the citizens with free time facilities is a fruitless measure both concerning the provision of specific programs and the establishment and construction of new places or even kinds of places.
