THE CHARACTERISTICS AND TRENDS OF LEISURE ACTIVITIES UNDER THE VIEWPOINT FROM TIME AND SPACE DISTRIBUTION : Study on the leisure facilities in neighboring districts Part 1

The time and space distributions of leisure activities were surveyed and analyzed in 1975 and 1990, in Takashimadaira and Shimada. Variations in the number of leisure facilities and the status of their utilization, were analyzed to determine how these variations relate to variations in the number of types of leisure activity and the leisure activity time. The findings indicated that in the case of leisure activities, there was a particular correlation between the life space, the activity item and the activity time, the number of leisure activity items and the time spent for leisure activities in various age bracket.
