This thesis addresses the influence of the environment on the passing of free time for physically disabled. The theoretical part concentrates on information about a physical disability, analyses and explains the terminology. Further, it focuses on the features, individual functions and factors of free time. In the practical part, I pay attention to qualitative study, mainly interviews regarding the origin of physical disability, its compensation, self-sufficiency, obstacles, which individuals have to overcome, social system and passing of free time. The findings were analysed and organised in tables. The main aim of the thesis was to ascertain the barriers that occur, point out the ones that aggravate and reduce the quality of life of individuals with physical disability in České Budějovice. In the practical part, I established these assumptions: 1. I have assumed that individuals with physical disability very intensively perceive the financial barrier in the framework of spending free time. 2. I have assumed that individuals with gained physical disability who were actively spending their free time, wish to continue. Both of the set assumptions, after detailed research and summarization of the available data were confirmed.

This dissertation focuses on free time as a new phenomenon in the industrially advanced society. The goal of this paper is firstly to map how the monitored group of children and youth from Rychnov nad Kněžnou and surrounding villages spend their free time and secondly how the above mentioned group comprehends the preventive function of free time. After the theoretical part which is focused on sociology of leisure, leisure education, and rural and urban area, there is an empirical part containing secondary and primary research (performed in form of questioning) with special focus on offering free time activities. The research found out that both groups of pupils (from urban as well as from the rural area) perceive the free time, possibilities of spending it, and their wishes for better spending the free time in similar way. Although the offer of free time activities in the rural area is significantly more limited compared to the free time activities offered in the urban area, the pupils living in the rural area are surprisingly satisfied with the offer. This limited offer is often accompanied with more common feeling of boredom which could grow into being dangerous; in view of preventive function of free time this fact is not insignificant.

Free time in today's life is becoming more and more important. The development of modern society and specialization of labor market today divides more obviously time for responsibilities and pastime. Leisure time is a very individual matter and its form is dependent on many aspects. Age and the size of the place of residence belong to those aspects that influence spending our free time. The relation between them became the core topic of this thesis. The practical part is based on my own research in three urban areas of different size in Nachod district. The research analyses the offer of free time activities as well as the attitude of the inhabitants in relation to their age and the size of town. The core task of this practical part was to look for any causal links. Deeper analysis shows that there is a certain coherence between the age of inhabitants, the size of their town and the style of spending leisure time, nevertheless this influence is not very significant. It is above all a very individual matter.
