Leisure experiences, opportunities and contributions to human development
The new human development paradigm rests on the human and cultural capital of peoples and revolves around the challenge of increasing the well-being and happiness of people. Therefore, leisure understood in today’s societies as one of the key means to feel good, satisfied with life and reaffirmed in the pursuit of a meaning for life, seems to be ultimately called to play a key role in promoting human development processes. The contents of this book are a good proof of it. Each chapter focuses on a different approach, discipline or group and highlights the potential of leisure experiences for human development.

It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that future leisure develops under the guidelines of a leisure that contributes to human development.

Espacios de ocio y recreación para la construcción de ciudadanía
¿A qué nos referimos con el reto de hacer ciudadanía a través del ocio y la recreación? ¿Qué papel desempeñan los espacios en el logro de este reto? ¿Cuál es el potencial de los espacios públicos y privados en este proceso de construcción? Y más importante aún si cabe ¿de qué ocio hablamos cuando afirmamos que es capaz de favorecer estos procesos de construcción ciudadana? El contenido de este libro gira en torno a tres conceptos: ocio y recreación, como promotores de una ciudadanía participativa, dinámica y formada para la búsqueda activa de su desarrollo personal y comunitario; los espacios en el marco de las ciudades, contenedores privilegiados de toda acción ciudadana; y, finalmente, la ciudadanía, entendida como estatuto que congrega tanto deberes como derechos individuales y colectivos de las personas que habitan la ciudad (Borja, 2003). La consideración de los nexos que vehiculan las relaciones entre estos tres conceptos es la clave para profundizar en las contribuciones del ocio y la recreación a la construcción de ciudadanía.
