L’immigration au Québec se caractérise depuis quelques années par une nouvelle dynamique. La présence d’immigrants socialement perçus comme « minorités ethniques », ou plus précisément comme « minorités visibles », est de plus en plus évidente, surtout dans des contextes urbains où la diversité ethnique est une donnée palpable au quotidien. Dans ce mémoire nous proposons de travailler sur l’impact du loisir défini comme un ensemble de pratiques culturelles, c'est-à-dire des pratiques de loisir enracinées dans l’habitus, à l’appui de l’analyse du processus d’intégration sociale d’un groupe d’immigrants péruviens nouvellement arrivés à Montréal. Cette enquête cherche à explorer le rapport entre loisir et intégration, à partir d’un cadre théorique qui nous permet d’aborder le loisir comme un domaine particulièrement fécond sur le plan de la participation à la société d’accueil. Pour ce faire, nous avons privilégié une approche qualitative qui nous a aidé à « reconstruire » la trajectoire d’intégration de cinq nouveaux arrivants péruviens installés à Montréal depuis cinq ans ou moins. L’analyse des données révèle que le processus d’intégration de ces migrants est difficile, en raison des épreuves de l’adaptation (l’acculturation) à la société hôte, et que les activités liées aux loisirs ont un impact positif sur ledit processus, en partie parce qu’elles jouent un rôle stratégique qui favorise l’adaptation et la participation. Ces activités illustrent aussi les modalités d’une incorporation dans certains domaines de la vie sociale (l’emploi, la vie culturelle, la socialisation amicale) qui permet de ne pas rompre totalement les liens avec la communauté d’origine. Au quotidien, les loisirs permettent un rapprochement avec le groupe majoritaire et, plus largement, avec les autres groupes présents à Montréal : des liens d’amitié se développent, des pratiques de sociabilité se déploient, la consommation de certains biens et services est stimulée, l’individu fait de nouvelles connaissances, etc. Le lien entre communalisation ethnique et intégration permet alors de traverser différents espaces et groupes. Le plaisir reste par ailleurs le moteur des loisirs, c'est-à-dire que les activités choisies par les individus correspondent à leurs goûts, leurs intérêts, et que le loisir, en général, va de pair avec le plaisir. Ce lien favorise le déploiement de « réponses » spécifiques par nos interlocuteurs face aux problèmes d’adaptation, et la confirmation d’une sorte de sentiment d’intégration chez eux. / Immigration in Quebec has recently experienced a new trend. In fact, the arrival of immigrants socially perceived as "ethnic minorities", or more specifically as "visible minorities", has become increasingly evident, especially in the urban context where ethnic diversity is palpable every day. In this master’s thesis, we focus on the impact of leisure defined as a set of cultural practices, that is to say leisure practices embedded in the “habitus,” to support the analysis of the social integration of a group of Peruvian immigrants recently arrived in Montréal. This investigation seeks to explore the relationship between leisure and integration. Utilizing a theoretical framework allowed us to approach leisure, as a field that encourages participation in the host society. To achieve this goal, we used a qualitative approach in order to "rebuild" the integration trajectory of five Peruvian newcomers who had settled in Montréal for five years or less. The data analysis reveals that the integration process of these immigrants is difficult, since this process presents challenges of adaptation (acculturation) to the host society, and leisure activities have a positive impact on that process in part because they play a strategic role that promotes adaptation and participation. These activities also illustrate the modes of incorporation into some areas of social life (employment, cultural life, friendship and socialization), which does not completely break the ties to the community of origin. In daily practice, leisure promotes the rapprochement with the majority group and more generally, with the other ethnic groups living in Montréal: the friendship develops, the practices of sociability are deployed, the consumption of some goods and services is stimulated, and the individual meet more people, etc. The connection between ethnic communalization and integration can allow the individual to enter different areas and groups. Moreover, pleasure is the engine of leisure, so this means that leisure activities chosen by these individuals match their personal tastes and interests. This link facilitates the deployment of specific “responses” by these newcomers (coping responses), in order to face their problems of adaptation, and the confirmation of a sort of integration feeling among them.

The theoretical part of the thesis introduces the value of health, a healthy lifestyle, stages of childhood and the importance of a family for a child. It represents the healthy lifestyle and children´s healthy eating habits, the importance of children´s physical activities and leisure activities for children with parents to prevent children's illnesses and drug use. It presents the results of a research study of HBSC Health Behaviour in School- aged Children. The practical part of the thesis presents the method of questionnaire survey used. It contains statistical evaluation of the data obtained, comparing them with regard to parental age and the place of living of the responding children. It reveals the present state of influences in families on emerging lifestyle of children in surveyed localities in the Czech Republic.

Ela reflete sobre a importância da educação no e para o tempo livre e o papel fundamental da Formação Continuada construída como espaço de discussão teórica, no sentido da ampliação dos conhecimentos dos sujeitos responsáveis pela intervenção pedagógica junto às comunidades, e como espaço de construção efetiva de um Programa capaz de garantir, democratizar e ampliar o acesso ao esporte e lazer por todos os segmentos da população. A Formação Continuada a que este trabalho se refere, se deu através de um processo coletivo de construção entre os sujeitos que fazem parte do Programa Círculos Populares de Esporte e Lazer, em Reuniões Pedagógicas e Específicas semanais; em Encontros de Formação Continuada anuais e na participação em Seminários e Eventos de caráter científico e/ou político no âmbito da educação e do lazer. Sendo desta forma construído, este modelo de Formação Continuada garantiu que gestores, estagiários, professores e agentes comunitários de esporte e lazer pudessem criar novas possibilidades de trabalho em comunidade com a área de esporte e lazer, que superassem alguns elementos que limitam a atuação, advindos de valores situados na lógica do capital, presentes na experiência empírica e nas experiências de formação (inicial ou continuada) a que estes sujeitos estiveram expostos anteriormente. Isso porque este modelo de Formação Continuada buscou desenvolver, através da garantia da participação de todos, na sua construção contínua, o desenvolvimento de uma ação humana pautada na liberdade de reflexão. Sendo construído desta forma, o processo de Formação Continuada realizado garantiu que além de acesso ao conhecimento, este fosse também um espaço contínuo de avaliação e planejamento das ações, bem como da sistematização destas no sentido de servir como novos elementos para a reflexão dos educadores. A partir desta pesquisa-ação, concluímos que a Formação Continuada é um espaço fundamental para a construção de políticas públicas voltadas para a educação, se esta for construída numa relação coletiva e através de uma atitude de liberdade por todos os sujeitos envolvidos. E este trabalho vem se somar com outros desenvolvidos o Grupo LEPEL/FACED/UFBA ? Estudo e Pesquisa em Educação Física & Esporte e Lazer, da Linha de Pesquisa ? Educação, Cultura Corporal e Lazer do Programa de Pós-graduação da UFBA. / Salvador

Researches on this area help both public and private sectors to decide how to support the society needs related to leisure. However, the leisure matter has rarely been explored in Brazil. This thesis purpose is to analyze the leisure habits of adolescents and young people, aged from 12 to 24 years, who live in the poor suburban areas of the city of Sao Paulo, as well as acquiring a better knowledge of the potential factors that interfere in the activities choices. The motivations of this study are based on the importance of young people in the society, the concerns with this part of the population, especially the group socially vulnerable, and the contributions that leisure may create in a place with limited options of activities. To develop the research, the starting point was the data analysis of SEADE´s 2005 Pesquisa de Condição de Vida (Life Condition Survey), made from October of 2004 to February of 2005. In order to prepare a frame for a deep understanding of the leisure activities of the young people in the outskirts districts of São Paulo, sociodemographics characteristics were utilized to cluster this population. Then, their leisure behavior was analyzed in each identified cluster. The results strongly indicate that the choice of leisure activity is influenced by the socio-demographic cluster that young people belong to. At the end of the research, some extensions of this agenda are suggested in order to consolidate and enhance the main hypothesis elaborated in this study. / A questão do lazer tornou-se foco de atenção, em vários países do mundo, com o objetivo de conhecer a evolução do comportamento da população. Estudos nesta linha visam auxiliar as entidades públicas e privadas no direcionamento de subsídios para o atendimento das necessidades da sociedade dentro do segmento do lazer. No entanto, essa temática ainda foi pouco explorada no Brasil. O estudo em questão tem por objetivo conhecer e analisar práticas de lazer de adolescentes e jovens, entre 12 e 24 anos, habitantes de bairros periféricos da cidade de São Paulo, bem como proporcionar melhor conhecimento de potenciais fatores que interferem nas escolhas dessas atividades. As motivações para o estudo foram a importância da juventude na sociedade, as preocupações com esse segmento da população, especialmente da parcela altamente vulnerável socialmente, e as contribuições que o lazer pode propiciar em um universo com opções restritas. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa partiu-se da base de dados da Fundação SEADE (2005), obtidos por meio da Pesquisa de Condição de Vida, realizada entre outubro de 2004 e fevereiro de 2005. Para melhor analisar o lazer de adolescentes e jovens da periferia de São Paulo, procurou-se verificar a existência de subgrupos (agrupamentos), segundo características sociodemográficas, dentro desse segmento da população para posteriormente analisar o comportamento dos mesmos no lazer. Os resultados apresentam fortes indícios de que pertencer a determinado agrupamento sociodemográfico influencia no tipo de lazer escolhido. Ao final do trabalho, são sugeridos alguns desdobramentos do tema estudado como o aprofundamento de questões analisadas procurando validar hipóteses surgidas a partir deste estudo.
