Can Leisure Become a Place Generator? Exploring the Idea through Stebbins’s Serious Leisure Perspective
Loisir et communauté
Community is often the preferred scale of intervention in public recreation. It is at this level that initiatives and citizen groups emerge that should be supported. However, the definition of the notion of community is not unanimous neither at the level of professionals nor in academia. This article pursues the objective of redefining this notion in order to encompasses all types of communities (territorial, interest, identity, virtual) with att…
Loisir et intégration des immigrants
The issue of immigrant integration is at the heart of many debates within contemporary industrialized societies. It has often been questioned and studied from the point of view of work, education, and health and social services.

Thus, based on a systematic review of scientific literature (n = 63), this study allows us to sum up the current knowledge …
Rural leisure opportunities for people with disabilities
The issue of leisure for people with disabilities is central as the practice of these activities helps counteract certain problems of sedentariness, social isolation or stigmatization. This problematic is even more complicated in rural areas, where limited means, as well as geographical location and scope slow down certain avenues of leisure development for these challenged populations. The objective of this study was to seek to understand the re…
Leisure for People with Disabilities in Rural Quebec

Cet article présente les résultats d’un sondage mené en 2015 à Montréal auprès de 464 répondants âgés de 50 ans et plus. Cette recherche démontre l’importance accord…
Sporting and leisure activities among adolescents
Quebec, like other Canadian provinces, is dealing with sedentary lifestyle problems affecting its youth. Several recent studies have suggested that good-quality spatial planning regarding recreational and sporting facilities helps to increase the level of physical activity youth undertake. However, this correlation also intermingles with spatial elements linked to the living environments of youth (urban, suburban, and rural), and this study was c…
Development of adolescents' leisure interests and social involvement
Many municipal stakeholders deplore the poor participation of adolescents in out-of-school activities while also acknowledging their lack of understanding about the latter's interests in terms of leisure. Therefore, this study is to further understand how adolescents develop their leisure expectations and their level of social involvement in their communities. For these purposes, 18 focus groups were conducted with 72 youth aged between 12 and 17…

The popularity of community and community development in the social sciences increased during the second half of the twentieth century. Today the continual growth of community development is evident particularly in fields such as leisure studies that are concerned with providing services during periods of economic restraint. Despite the recognized significance of community development, minimal research has been conducted in leisure studies on con…
Activité physique et équipements sportifs chez les jeunes au Québec
L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser les impacts de l’implantation d’une patinoire extérieure dans le quartier de Montréal-Nord sur le niveau d’activité physique des populations locales ainsi que sur différents éléments socio-identitaires. Cette recherche permet de démontrer que l’implantation d’un équipement sportif de proximité invite la population jeune à s’engager dans des pratiques physiques actives et renouvelle certaines formes d’appro…
Planning and social appropriation of proximal sports facilities
The worldwide obesity epidemic, caused particularly by a lack of daily physical activity, is regrettable. Hence, many recent studies have demonstrated that many elements linked to the layout and appropriation of sports facilities can have a positive effect and lead to the integration of healthy habits. This article aims to analyze, through a case study that took place in a Montreal North neighborhood, the social impacts as well as the effects on …
