Uganda’s tourism industry is a major source of foreign exchange income, creating much-needed employment and development opportunities. This study provided an overview of motivations and characteristics of non-resident visitors to Uganda. This exploratory research was conducted in Uganda during July and August 2011. Information obtained includes the popular activities and places visited, visitor expenditures, demographic information, motivation for visiting Uganda, and motivation for traveling and volunteering in general. This study concluded that the majority of non-resident visitors leaving Uganda were volunteers, with a majority being religious volunteers who did not represent a sustainable tourism market within Uganda. Data provided in this study can allow tourism stakeholders to draw conclusions on what is needed in Uganda to help the tourism sector to continue growing more sustainably and to remain competitive amongst other East African tourist destinations.

The study explored the leisure styles of peri-urban youth living on the fringe of the city of Durban. Little is known about the leisure patterns of this marginalised segment of the urban population and an aim of this study was to begin to develop a knowledge-base using a holistic or multi-theme approach. Data was collected on the leisure activities, attitudes and the leisure setting of shack youth. Such information would be helpful in understanding the role which leisure plays and could play in the social development of shack youth. The research methodology, comprising qualitative interviewing in phase one (to gather contextual data) and a survey in phase two (to explore leisure patterns quantitatively), complemented the holistic focus by examining actors' leisure experiences and the wider leisure context. To interpret the research findings, socio-psychological models of leisure explained respondents' styles of leisure at the interpersonal level whilst at the macro-spatial level, findings were contextualised in an apartheid city 'framework to show the way the historical context has shaped present leisure patterns. In the context of shack life, leisure was found to be a strategy for survival and an alternative route to the satisfaction of higher order needs. Despite environmental constraints, respondents identified socio-spatial opportunities for leisure activities which they perceived to be freely chosen and enjoyable. The study concluded that leisure is a valuable tool which social policy makers and planners could use to develop the latent potential of young shack dwellers. / Thesis (M.Sc.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1994.

Alla människor har någon gång i livet kommit i kontakt med en tränare eller instruktör inom någon form av idrott. Det kan handla om den ideella föräldern som ansvarar för bollkull inom fotbollsklubben till den utbildade professionella golftränaren. De flesta människor med ett “vanligt” 8-17 jobb tänker nog i positiva tankar när det kommer till de människor som lyckas förena sin hobby/passion med ett betalt yrkesliv. I flera år har det pratats om den teknologiska utvecklingen som på flera sätt har påverkat hur dagens arbetsliv ser ut och inkräktar i allt större grad på privatlivet. Begreppet Work-Life balance som på svenska kallas livspusslet har alla verksamma inom yrkeslivet stött på. Det forskars mycket i hur den teknologiska tillgängligheten och flexibiliteten kan hjälpa eller stjälpa individens känsla av balans i livspusslet. Vi ställde oss frågan hur ser det ut för en yrkesgrupp som inte har påverkats i samma omfattning av den teknologiska utvecklingen, golftränarna på de svenska golfklubbarna. Golfspelet kräver fortfarande en fysisk närvaro på en golfbana eller träningsanläggning, det är inget som kan utföras via en smart phone eller surfplatta. Vi har genomfört en kvantitativ studie för att undersöka hur golftränarnas arbetssituation ser ut. Är de själva nöjda eller finns det en baksida med att arbeta med sin passion. Studien har genomförts utifrån befintlig forskning från främst USA och speciellt anställda inom den amerikanska college idrotten. Det verkar som om det aldrig tidigare har forskats i hur golftränarna har det. Vi har inte lyckats hitta någon undersökning eller studie där respondenterna har varit golftränare i alla fall. Studiens resultat visar på en omfattande arbetsbelastning under en intensiv period som påverkar golftränarens möjlighet för att uppnå en balans i sitt livspussel. Majoriteten av de 209 deltagande golftränarna i studien uppger att det klagas i stor omfattning från familjemedlemmarna över den arbetstid de lägger ned i arbetet. I studien uppger mer än åtta utav tio tränare att de arbetar 45 timmar eller mer per vecka i genomsnitt under perioden 1:a maj till 31:a augusti.

台灣休閒咖啡館商業計畫書 / In Taiwan, have a cup of coffee have become part of the life of people who lives in the city. We cannot only buy the coffee in coffee shop like Starbucks, Barista, or Mr. Brown but also in convenient stores like 7-11 and Family Mart. These places provide different kinds and levels of coffee. This causes a fierce competition in coffee shop market. But this also indicates that the needs of coffee keep growing. Although lots of places provide coffee, only few of them provide quality coffee in a special and tasteful space. Most coffee shops are for people to sit down and talk and consumers don’t care if the coffee is good or not as long as it’s cheap. Actually from a cup of coffee, there are lots of things to talk about. From the history of drinking coffee, places that coffee bean grows, and people who live in those places. It will be fantastic if people know this information when having coffee. Form a cup of coffee, we know how to care about the world, and we don’t have to learn these things in a classroom but in a warm, elegant coffee shop. Le Moulin de la Galette will be a shop that not only provides good coffee, but also knowledge of coffee and the way to develop the culture of coffee. It will also be a place that the customer will gain a series of delightful experiences instead of just some products that you can have anywhere.

Ideellt arbetande var en bidragande orsak till att Levene samhälle i Vara kommun kunde uppföra en evenemangshall. Denna studie syftar till att förklara varför invånarna i Levene ställde upp och arbetade med ett slitsamt bygge på sin fritid.

This study analyses differences between student groups at Umeå University, Sweden, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. It analyses student study situations, students’ experience of the university environment, students’ exercise and sports activities, and connections between study and leisure-time activities. The study owes much to Bourdieu’s Homo Academicus (English edition 1988), and his theories of cultural reproduction, social structures and habitus, and focuses on students from the subject areas teacher education, natural sciences, humanities and sports. Attention is also given to family backgrounds and female/male variance. The data were collected in 1994-1995, with the aid of 782 questionnaires and 64 interviews. The results show differences between students at the two universities in terms of study time, parents’ education and leisure activities and part-time jobs. Students in the studied groups, differ in many respects. The groups have distinct characteristics in terms of, for example, age and sex ratios. The students’ family backgrounds are also divergent, depending on which discipline the student belongs to. These variations between disciplines are found at both universities. Physical activities (action sports) are popular activities, at both universities. Women and men exercise in different ways, although they might have a similar social situation. The scientific methodology of Bourdieu is also discussed in the study. In sum, the results indicate that there are sub-fields within the university. Individuals with different conditions and habitus, to use Bourdieu’s terminology, inhabit these sub-fields.
