“…Sociocultural animation is an effective educational methodology for developing participation and citizenship in normalized sectors and situations of risk and social conflict. Its educational value is confirmed by its geographical diversity, sociocultural improvement effects, and its permanence in time, despite gaining various names like community development and dynamization (Morata & Palasí, 2012). The SEA is a set of actions by individuals, groups, or institutions promoting active participation in a community's social and cultural development within a specific territory (Trilla, 1997).…”

Social pedagogy is a holistic approach to experiential learning, focusing on interaction, joint activities, and relationships. Social pedagogy offers paradigms for informal and non-formal educators, focusing on education for sociality. Pedagogy involves learning, teaching, and development influenced by cultural values. It differs from informal education and community learning and development. Recognizing the significance of informal education, group work, and community organization and development as practices informs social pedagogy. The current social and economic instability has exposed large pockets of disadvantaged or socially excluded people. Social policies have not effectively integrated these individuals. Community education, a pedagogical intervention, aims to improve the quality of life and well-being, particularly for those in social exclusion, and promote social cohesion. This is achieved through increased participation, empowerment, co-responsibility, and social awareness.

“…The former tends to be spatially more variable due to the dispersion of activity locations, making public transit often inefficient compared to private modes (such as cars) (Schlich et al, 2004). Despite being inefficient for the system, leisure travel generates health and well-being benefits (Fancourt et al, 2021;Sala et al, 2019) and social cohesion (Morata et al, 2021;Jennings and Bamkole, 2019). Recent literature on leisure travel has also shown that social connections strongly influence individual mobility.…”

When observing the temporal trajectory of an individual, there is a high probability of visiting a known place; this is due to the central component of habit and routine in human mobility behavior. To understand those routine activities, we propose a new survey method: the Place Generator & the Place Interpreter, based on the name generator and name interpreter survey methodology for ego-centric social networks. In the survey, we asked the participants to name the locations they regularly visit for leisure, by category. This methodology captures the characteristics of the locations and the reasons to be chosen. We tested the methodology in the Zurich Metropolitan Area in Switzerland, focusing on urban leisure activities and the social environment of the locations. Hence, we ask the individuals to describe the reasons for choosing that specific location and the socio-demographic characteristics of the other visitors. This methodology worked well when compared with earlier long-duration GPS tracking surveys. Respondents report, on average, 9.85 locations for nine types of locations, mainly supermarkets and restaurants or cafes, and respondents can describe their similarities with other visitors to that location. The survey is complemented with a survey of sociodemographic characteristics and the respondent's ego-centric social network to get information on social connections and their impact on leisure activity.

Participating in community leisure activities has become an important way for the public to pursue good health and a high quality of life. However, few studies have focused on the health and welfare effects of participating in urban leisure activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to this gap in the literature, this study drew on the stimulus–organism–response (SOR) theory to examine the effects of community leisure on subjective well-being during the pandemic from the perspective of urban residents. A sample of 1041 urban residents in Beijing, China, was empirically analyzed by applying partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The PLS-SEM results revealed the net effects of the pandemic influence, leisure satisfaction, leisure environment, and community identity on subjective well-being. The fsQCA provided causal methods for realizing subjective well-being and a necessary condition analysis supplemented the necessary antecedents. The results showed that (1) higher levels of pandemic influence and leisure environment increased leisure satisfaction; (2) pandemic influence, leisure environment, and leisure satisfaction had a positive effect on community identity; (3) pandemic influence, leisure satisfaction, and community identity also combined with leisure environment and leisure time to positively influence subjective well-being; and (4) leisure satisfaction and community identity mediated the impacts of pandemic influence and leisure environment on subjective well-being. This paper contributes not only to empirical evidence but also to theory by constructing and enriching the research models of community leisure and subjective well-being. The practical implications for the public, community managers, and policymakers are also discussed.
