Student's leisure time before and during COVID-19 anti-epidemic measures

Završni rad se bavi obrascima provođenja slobodnog vremena u studentskoj populaciji. Anketno istraživanje je provedeno na prigodnom uzorku od 225 studenata i studentica, Sveučilišta u Zadru i Filozofskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Ispitanici su trebali odgovoriti na pitanja o provođenju slobodnog vremena prije i za vrijeme trajanja COVID-19 protuepidemijskih mjera. U istraživanje su uključene razne sastavnice slobodnog vremena, od zabavnih, kulturnih, vjerskih sadržaja do sporta te aktivne participacije u društvu. Provedene analize su ukazale na razliku u dnevnom raspoloživom vremenu po spolu ispitanika, gdje se pokazalo da studentice raspolažu s manje slobodnog vremena. Preferencije u načinima provođenja slobodnog vremena studenata se ne razlikuju značajno u odnosu na mjesto studiranja. Studenti u Zadru i Zagrebu najčešće provode svoje slobodno vrijeme u odmaranju i zabavi, a sadržaji poput kulture i aktivnog sudjelovanja u raznim udrugama i organizacijama civilnog društva te volonterskih aktivnostima su najmanje zastupljeni. Pokazalo se da u razdoblju tijekom trajanja mjera, ali i prije trajanja, studenti najčešće ispunjavaju vrijeme pasivnim aktivnostima slobodnog vremena. Naposljetku, rezultati istraživanja su u skladu s prethodnim istraživanjima o mladima i slobodnom vremenu.This thesis deals with patterns of leisure time in the student population. The survey was conducted on a sample of 225 students from the University of Zadar and the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Zagreb. Respondents were asked to answer questions about spending their leisure time before and during the COVID-19 anti-epidemic measures. The research includes various leisure components, from entertaining, cultural, religious contents to sports and active participation in society. The conducted analyzes indicated a difference in the daily available time by participant’s sex, indicating that female students have less free time. Preferences in the ways students spend their leisure time do not differ significantly in relation to the place of study. Students in Zadar and Zagreb most frequently spend their leisure time relaxing and having fun, and content such as culture and active participation in various associations and civil society organizations and volunteer activities are the least represented. It has been shown that in the period of the duration of measures, and even before the duration, students most frequently fill their time in passive leisure activities. Finally, the research results correspond with previous research on youth and leisure
