Darbe nagrinėjama aktuali sritis – šeimos kaip pagrindinės visuomenės ląstelės ir tautos variklio tobulinimas, jos gyvavimo ir gyvenimo kokybės esmė. To pagrindas yra turiningas, kūrybingas bei atpalaiduojantis laisvalaikis. Retai kada susimąstoma, kad ne tik vaikams, jaunimui reikia kokybiško laisvalaikio, prasmingo bendravimo ir paprasčiausio laimės pilnatvės jausmo. Norint visa tai pasiekti, reikia daug, nuosekliai ir planingai dirbti su savimi ir šalia esančiais žmonėmis. Kokybiškas laikas kartu – tai brendimas, tobulėjimas santykyje su savimi ir kitais. Įvairūs žmogaus įgūdžiai geriausiai susiformuoja tada, kai su malonumu tyrinėjama ir atrandama kas nors naujo, panaudojamos naujos idėjos ar daiktai. Kadangi šeima vaikams yra saugi aplinka, todėl tėvai, skirdami laiką žaisti su vaikais ar pramogauti, gali stiprinti tarpusavio santykius, emocinius santykius, savo ir vaikų asmenybes. Per bendrą veiklą šeima tampa maža bendruomene, siekiančia bendro tikslo. Sutuoktiniai, planuodami veiklą, turi atsižvelgti į kelis esminius kriterijus: savo ir vaikų amžių, gyvenamąją vietą, sveikatą, ekonominę situaciją, o svarbiausia – į savo šeimos narių poreikius. Šeimos laisvalaikio veikla turi įjungti visus šeimos narius ir taip suteikti šeimos gyvenimo pasitenkinimą. Suaugusiųjų pareiga vaiką mokyti ir pratinti kultūringai ir produktyviai leisti laisvalaikį, kuris duotų materialinės ir dvasinės naudos pačiam vaikui, artimiesiems ir visuomenei. Tai pavyksta tuomet, kai pačių... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / This paper is focused on a significant topic, namely, organization of a purposeful, creative and relaxing leisure time of a family. This topic is considered to be of high importance as it is closely related to the development and quality of life of a family, which in turn is often called to be the first cell and the leading force of society. Unfortunately, few people understand that children and youth are not the only ones in need of quality leisure time, meaningful communication and simply the feeling of happiness. In order to achieve this, one has to put a lot of time and efforts and to work consistently together with other family members. Quality leisure time spent together is a way of personal growth and development of relationships with others. As scholars has proved, various skills can best be formed when a person is involved in a pleasurable activity of exploring and discovering something new, using new ideas and things. Therefore, as children usually regard their family as a safe environment, it is important that parents would spend time playing or having fun with their children because it helps to strengthen their relationship, emotional ties and personalities of both adults and children. Joint activities help the family to become a small community united by a common goal. When a married couple plans leisure time activities for their family, they have to regard several crucial criteria: age of themselves and their children, place of residence, health condition...

In Brazil it is more than just a medical and socioeconomic concern. It is becoming a preoccupation of many additional areas of science due to the needs and demands of this aging population, considering their living environment, be it public space or their residence. Studies demonstrate that over the course of a lifetime, the home environment can affect people's economic, social, emotional, and health status and exert a strong influence on the well-being of senior citizens. Objectives: To investigate elderly´s view to plan the home environment relative to longevity, contributing to the formulation of housing policies that take into account the needs and transformation of the human body and the emotional relationships established with the social environment. Methodology: Quantitative and qualitative study conducted with 10 female subjects age 60 and older. The study was conducted with a group of senior citizens from Sao Paolo who participate in activities offered to the seniors of the SESC Unidad Consolacion. Descriptive analysis of the data collected. Results: 10 female senior citizens, between 62 and 81 years of age. In terms of their housing situation, 5 of them live alone, 9 in their own apartment and 4 wish to move. In terms of accessibility, all consider their homes accessible for themselves and 3 feel their homes are accessible to visitors with special needs. The question of aging permeated the responses of the interviewees but their relationship with their environment was not very apparent in their responses. Considering the core question of the study, it appears that senior citizens do not plan their environment to suit their needs as they age. Discussion: The home represents the the most valuable adquired asset over the course of their lives. This implies that they do not want to change, given their feelings of emotion, well-being, privacy, independence, autonomy and security. The study brings a reflection regarding the home environment and the complexity that aging brings to it. It argues the contribution of it for public and home policies which consider accessible and adaptable residential projects, taking into account the physiological and functional moves of human beings, proportionating environments that permit a harmonious relationship in all phases of life, contributing to well-being and the ability of senior citizens to stay permanently in their homes, their emotional space / Introdução: O processo do envelhecimento é, hoje, objeto de várias pesquisas no mundo. No Brasil, tem deixado de ser apenas uma preocupação da saúde e sócio-econômica, tornando-se uma preocupação de várias áreas da ciência pelas necessidades e exigências do mundo que envelhece, considerando-se o meio em que vivem, seja o espaço público ou seu domicílio. Pesquisas demonstram que o ambiente domiciliar agrega valores econômicos, sociais, emocionais, afetivos e de saúde ao longo da vida, e exerce influência na vida dos idosos, no seu bem-estar. Objetivos: Investigar a visão de idosos de planejar o ambiente domiciliar em relação à longevidade, contribuindo para a formulação de políticas habitacionais que considerem as necessidades e transformações do corpo humano e as relações afetivas estabelecidas com o meio ambiente e social. Metodologia: Pesquisa quantitativa e qualitativa, realizada com 10 sujeitos, sexo feminino, idade superior a 60 anos, realizada com um grupo de idosos da cidade de São Paulo que participam das atividades oferecidas ao público idoso do Sesc Unidade Consolação. Realizada análise descritiva dos dados coletados. Resultados: 10 idosas, entre 62 a 81 anos. Quanto à moradia, 5 delas moram sozinhas, 9 em apartamento próprio e 4 desejam mudar de casa. Quanto à acessibilidade, todas consideram a sua casa acessível para si e 3 acessível para receber visitas com necessidades específicas. A questão do envelhecimento permeou as respostas das entrevistadas, mas a relação com o ambiente teve pouca representatividade ao considerarmos o planejar o ambiente, que respondendo a pergunta do estudo, as pessoas não planejam o seu ambiente para velhice. Discussão: A casa representa o maior bem conquistado ao longo da vida, o que implica no não desejo de mudar, permeados pelo sentimento de conquista, afetividade, bem-estar, privacidade, independência, autonomia e segurança. O estudo traz uma reflexão sobre o ambiente domiciliar e a complexidade que envolve o envelhecimento. Discute a contribuição para políticas públicas e habitacionais que contemplem os projetos residenciais acessíveis e adaptáveis, considerando as mudanças fisiológicas e funcionais do ser humano, proporcionando ambientes que permitam uma relação harmoniosa em todas as fases da vida, contribuindo para o bem-estar e a permanência do idoso em sua casa, seu espaço afetivo
