Leisure time for Dagestani youth (according to the results of a sociological survey)[Досуг Дагестанской Молодежи (По Результатам Социологического Опроса)]

Introduction. The leisure sector is a part of an individual's daily life, it is dynamic, and therefore capable of changing, and the model of spending free time depends to a certain extent on a number of socio-economic factors. The younger generation, as the most socially active stratum, perceives the transformations in society faster and tries to "fit in" with them. As a rule, leisure activities directly depend on a person's financial situation: the wealthy stratum has its own way of life and behavior, including recreation, in contrast to the low-income cohort, which, accordingly, is forced to deal with many issues and problems of a domestic nature in their free time. The leisure time of the younger generation of Dagestanis is under the powerful pressure and influence of the Islamic faith, because the religious component is "woven" into almost all social areas of the inhabitants of the republic. Purpose. To obtain new sociological material about the attitudes and leisure of Dagestani youth. The object of research: Dagestani youth. The subject of the research is the life attitudes and leisure of Dagestani youth. Methods. A survey on the values and behavior strategies of the younger generation of Dagestanis was conducted in Makhachkala, Derbent, Kizilyurt, Khasavyurt, Botlikh, Derbent, Kazbekov, Kizlyar, Kumtorkalinsky, Levashinsky districts by random selection. Results. The problem of spending free time does not lose its relevance, because the forms of leisure are an indicator of measuring the quality of human life. Researchers note the existence of generational differences in spending free time, against the background of socio-economic and spiritual crisis, the strengthening of the Muslim component in modern Dagestani society, the desire of the younger gen-eration of Dagestani people to focus on Islamic provisions in everyday life, there is a depletion of the content of leisure, its organization corresponding to the needs of different social strata. In this regard, it is relevant to study the nature of leisure strategies and leisure obstacles for the younger generation, as well as the correlation between leisure needs and life plans. Unfortunately, there are differences in the quality of leisure activities in terms of location: urban areas offer more opportunities for leisure activities compared to rural areas. As a result, the leisure activities of the younger generation can be spontaneous and unorganized. Conclusions: – according to the results of the study, a change in the structure of leisure time for Dagestani youth has been established: with varying degrees of intensity, the younger generation demonstrates domestic and non-domestic forms of spending their free time; – the priority form of spending free time for the interviewed Dagestani youth is "home leisure" as "just rest" and providing assistance to parents when doing household chores. "Non-domestic leisure", which includes meetings with friends and relatives, is more typical for the surveyed youth aged 25 years inclusive; – Dagestani youth demonstrate social participation, that is, attending hobby groups (needlework, music, drawing, sports), museums, exhibitions, concerts, theatrical productions; – the level of well-being of the respondents has a direct impact on the forms of leisure activities: the financially prosperous cohort has the opportunity for high-quality leisure activities, in comparison with the low-income stratum. It is encouraging that, despite the importance of the material component in the quality of free time, it is important for the younger generation of Dagestanis to improve their own skills, respectively, the need for self-education and attendance of additional classes is emphasized.
