ABSTRACT Much has been written about how neighbourhoods provide a context for socially supportive relationships that contribute to belonging. Within neighbourhoods, people can find close-to-home sources of social support and connection. Neighbourhood associations (NAs) are common forms of mobilization through which neighbours work toward neighbourhood improvement. This study explored perceptions of NA leaders within a mid-sized Canadian city regarding the functions of their NAs. A particular focus of the study was on ways NA-organized recreation and leisure initiatives may promote a sense of belonging among neighbours. Findings suggest NA leaders describe belonging in terms of mutually supportive relationships as well as comfort and fit. Findings also suggest that while promoting belonging is an explicit goal of NAs, other NA goals may complicate the realization of neighbourhood belonging. For example, while NA initiatives include neighbourhood-wide leisure events geared toward enhancing belonging, these events often exclusively target toward young families and encompass traditional Christian settler-colonial themes and values. There is minimal effort to involve or connect people of different ages, racial identities, and cultural backgrounds. We discuss the implications these findings can have on the sense of belonging and politics of belonging within neighbourhoods.

ABSTRACT The current study aimed to conceptualize the elements influencing children escorts' overall satisfaction using public playgrounds in Greece. Three hundred and four children escorts (n = 304), using playgrounds located in the cities of Central Greece, and one on the island of Lesbos, were questioned. The means of data collection was the questionnaire “Children escorts’ satisfaction from using public playgrounds” (Zaharioudaki & Afthinos [2014]. Ικανοποίηση των συνοδών των παιδιών που ϵπισκέπτονται τις παιδικές χαρές της Κρήτης [Satisfaction of children escorts who visit public playgrounds in Crete]. In 15th HSASMR Conference (pp. 108–110). HSASMR. https://www.elleda.gr/sites/default/files/15o_synedrio_-_2014_0.pdf). The data factor analysis resulted in a model of playground service elements influencing children escorts' overall satisfaction, including “safety”, “maintenance”, “environment stimulating social interaction”, “use of the installation”, “apparatus” and “accessibility”. Furthermore, these identified service elements fitted Tsuji et al. ([2007]. Consumer satisfaction with an action sports event. Sport Marketing Quarterly, 16, 199–208) conceptualization as core and peripheral. Specifically, there was evidence that, for the children escorts to express an overall positive satisfaction attitude toward a public playground, they should first express a positive satisfaction attitude to core service elements such as “maintenance” as well as “apparatus”, and secondarily to the other peripheral service elements.

ABSTRACT Wildlife tourism benefits regional economies and biodiversity conservation, yet visitor numbers remain below capacity in many wildlife destinations. With an aging population and increasing pressure on the natural environment, the need to attract a younger generation (Millennials) to nature and conservation is becoming more important than ever. To see increasing visitation from Millennials it is necessary to understand their perceptions of and expectations about wildlife tourism experiences and how that may require improved management effectiveness. To this end, six focus groups were conducted with South African Millennials in different family life cycle stages. The findings show that focus group participants’ expectation of a wildlife tourism experience is to have an encounter with wildlife. They expect the experience to be authentic and responsible. They want opportunities to engage in various activities, and show a keen interest in visiting national parks. The paper contributes to the limited research on Millennials and their preferences for nature and wildlife-based experiences. Insights gained from this cohort have implications for wildlife tourism organizations in terms of product development and species conservation.

ABSTRACT Leisure is recognized as a human right in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in the World Leisure Organisation’s recently revised Charter for Leisure. However, it has been neglected in the UN’s mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation nation states’ compliance with human rights obligations under the terms of the relevant international treaties. Until very recently, leisure rights have also been neglected by the leisure research community. This paper documents the extent of this neglect and seeks to make a contribution to remedying it. This takes the form of an outline of a conceptual framework for assessing nation states’ performance in upholding leisure rights.

This issue concludes my work as Editor-in-Chief of World Leisure Journal (WLJ). The consolidation of more than nine years of work, with an output of 36 issues of the journal, cannot be done within one editorial. Yet, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on this period. In my first editorial back in 2013, I wrote: “I feel excited and honoured to assume the role of editor of the World Leisure Journal”. Well, looking back, I still feel excited and honoured that I have been able to undertake such an important role and to make my humble contribution to the study of leisure and of course to World Leisure Organization. Upon reflection on those nine years of editorship, I feel that I have achieved the aims I set for the Journal and for myself. From the very beginning, I aspired to widen the scope of the journal and increase its internationalization. Over the past decade, there has been an increase in the number of contributions by scholars from across the globe and from different disciplines. It was a satisfying process to present the world map with additional dots representing distinct geographical places as part of my annual reports to World Leisure Organization Board of Directors indicating a huge increase in WLJ’s global reach. We now have submissions from six continents. Apart from reaching out to scholars, I can also attribute the increase in submission rate to the Journal’s acceptance into Scopus in 2016, signifying an important milestone in its development. As stated by the reviewer: “Excellent journal, excellent, well-crafted, well-cited, interesting and informative papers. It was a pleasure to review this journal and an even greater pleasure to welcome it to Scopus!” Indeed, WLJ continues to be a popular scholarly outlet with an increased number of citations and global recognition. I also felt excited to be able to celebrate the Journal’s 60s anniversary making it the longest standing journal of leisure studies. All those achievements were the results of a heavy workload and harmonious collaborative process, and here I wish to extend my sincere thanks to members of the Editorial Board and International Editorial Advisory Board, our dedicated reviewers, the guest editors, World Leisure Organization Board of Directors and Secretariat, and Taylor & Francis team for their ongoing cooperation and support. It has been a great pleasure working with you all. My heartful thanks go to Eugene, our highly dedicated editorial assistant who has been with me in this long and at times challenging journey. Thank you, Eugene, for your great support and meticulous job all these years. Even though it is my last piece as an editor-in-chief, I will continue to support the Journal and World Leisure Organization in their efforts to scale new heights.

ABSTRACT The wilderness construct has long-been associated with the virtuous life. Threats to the virtue of wilderness through commodification of the wilderness experience have been previously documented. However, this article makes the specific argument that the increasingly conspicuous consumption of wilderness, largely through apparel and social media, presents emerging risks to the virtues of time spent in wildlands – including, courage, justice, and temperance. Citing the work of Aristotle and Veblen, a philosophical analysis of virtue and leisure is paired with a review of the wilderness construct and its commodification. This analysis yields the conclusion that wilderness leisure is a threatened phenomenon, endangered by sustained exclusivity and market-driven commodification, in-part fuelled by conspicuous consumption. Specifically, conspicuous consumption threatens the Aristotelian virtues of courage, justice, and temperance honed through wilderness leisure. Implications for the future management of wildlands are discussed, including the balance between discouraging social media use and promoting inclusivity and the regulation of wilderness-related brands.

This Global Leisure Debate occurred on 9th/10th June for approximately an hour as part of the WLO Knowledge Sharing and Networking Experience. WLO chair, Joanne Schroeder, moderated the session with participants, Simone Fullagar from Gri ffi th University in Australia, Joe Pavelka from Mount Royal University in Canada, and me from Penn State University in the USA. In preparation for the discussion, we read transcripts from interviews with Alfonso Jimenez, Director of Research and Innovation at lngesport-GO fi t, Martyn Allison, Chief Cultural and Leisure O ffi cers Association Honorary Member, and Joe Taylor, Founder of The Wave Project UK. These knowledgeable prac-titioners discussed challenges, inequalities, barriers and opportunities associated with mental health and well-being within the leisure context. The WLO Secretariat, Cristina Ortega Nuere and the WLO sta ff developed three 5-minute videos with each video fea-turing one of the three invited participants providing our reactions to the transcripts identi fi ed as WLO Pre-Experience Videos. Many of those attending the debate reviewed the videos prior to the discussion.

ABSTRACT Jane Addams was one of the most important pioneers to help develop leisure services in America. Many American leisure textbooks hyper-individualize Jane Addams actions at Hull-House and make it seem that she was individually supervising the massive Hull-House complex and hundreds of programmes. The purpose of this manuscript is to debunk the hyper-individualistic histories of Jane Addams cloaked in the ideology of American individualism, written by American leisure studies authors, and outline Jane Addams collectivistic sensibilities and underscore the many residents and volunteers who helped establish Hull-House. To readers outside of the United States, this paper also serves as an example of how leisure textbooks can be encapsulated within national ideologies, which are often invisible to readers. As such, this manuscript will underscore Hull-House as being a collectivistic gestalt of kindred spirits who partnered with Jane Addams to make Hull-House a success. The last section of this manuscript will highlight the “galaxy of stars” who helped Hull-House flourish (Stebner, 1997), such as Louise de Koven Bowen Julia Lathrop, Helen Culver, Mary Rozet Smith and Neva Boyd.
简·亚当斯是推动美国休闲服务业发展的重要先驱之一。许多美国休闲教材都把简·亚当斯在赫尔之家的行为过分个人化，使她看起来像是在单独监督赫尔之家庞大的综合设施和数百个节目。这份手稿的目的是揭穿简·亚当斯在美国个人主义意识形态的掩盖下的超个人主义历史，由美国休闲研究作者撰写，概述简·亚当斯的集体主义情感，强调许多帮助建立赫尔之家的居民和志愿者。对于美国以外的读者来说，这篇论文也可以作为一个例子，说明休闲教科书如何被封装在读者通常看不见的国家意识形态中。因此，这篇手稿将强调赫尔之家是一个集体主义的完形者，他们与简·亚当斯合作，使赫尔之家取得成功。本手稿的最后一部分将重点介绍帮助赫尔-豪斯蓬勃发展的“群星”(Stebner, 1997)，如Louise de Koven Bowen Julia Lathrop, Helen Culver, Mary Rozet Smith和Neva Boyd。

ABSTRACT The practice of Recreational Therapy/Therapeutic recreation (RT/TR) in South Africa (SA) is currently unrecognized, and whether some of the existing health professions in SA are providing services like those of RT/TR, as practised in the United States of America, is unclear. Biokinetics, physiotherapy and occupational therapy are the three professions currently registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa with similarities in their definitions of scopes of practice to the definition of RT/TR. A qualitative interpretive descriptive study-design was followed, consisting of thematic analysis of 30 semi-structured telephonic interviews, which were conducted with biokineticists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists in private practice. Data analysis resulted in the identification of three themes. Although functional intervention programmes are presented by biokineticists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists, their programmes could not be classified as RT/TR orientated. There is a gap that could be filled by RT/TR in SA, in terms of the provision of leisure education and recreation participation programmes. This study provides information about the services available and identifies the gaps in the services of the three healthcare professions. The study concludes with a proposed continuum that indicates which services are currently provided and where RT/TR can fit into the current healthcare sector.
