| Popis: | 98 As the developed countries around the world face an ever aging population, Taiwan is also seeing the same trend, where the elderly account for a relatively high proportion in the demographic structure. Therefore, senior citizens’ leisure activities should become an issue worth careful exploration. This research interviewed the students of the University for Senior Citizens (USC) of Changhua County as to their needs for leisure activities and degree of leisure satisfaction. Analysis of 297 effective questionnaires has found that most of the university’s students are female, married, junior-college graduated, and more than 71 years of age, with a monthly income of NT$40,000~60,000 and a work experience of over 16 years. The analytical methods used in this research to explore the differences in needs for leisure activities and degree of satisfaction of the USC students who come from various societal and economic backgrounds include one-way ANOVA, independent samples t-test, and related analytical methodology. The variables of societal and economic backgrounds consist of the seven items of gender, age, education, marital status, offspring status, income, and work experience. According to the results of analysis, for the variables of gender, age, education, marital status, income and work experience, the USC students show considerable discrepancies in the needs for leisure activities and degree of leisure satisfaction, In addition, an evident correlation exists between senior citizens’ needs for leisure activities and degree of leisure satisfaction. Suggestions: The government should diversify their activities for senior citizens in the future and regularly hold large and small-sized leisure activities, such as the “pay-tribute-to-the-elderly” events organized for Double 9th Festival, fairs and carnivals, gatherings related to community development, etc., in order to enrich the life of senior citizens. |
