Leisure Study in Human Ecology : An Analytic Review

생활과학에서의 여가연구에 대한 분석적 고찰

The purpose of this study is to analyze leisure studies in human ecology of Korea and to discuss them. For this analysis, the articles which were published on the Journal of Korean Home Economics Association, the Journal of Korean Home Management Association, and the Journal of Korean Family Resource Management Association were investigated by theme, research subject, and research method. Leisure studies in human ecology began with the survey of time-use or activity patterns and they were focused on the housewives. Since the latter half of the 1990' s varied groups -especially the old- are subject to sample, and the shared leisure is studied, varied themes are studied. The research method were deflected to the survey using questionnaire all throughout the period. For the future study, we suggest that the general theories developed and the appropriate research method applied.
