In-depth interviews and participatory observations were conducted in two cycling communities in Turkey, an emerging pro-cycling country. As a result of thematic analysis, the characteristics of the studied communities are explained under the following themes: states of emotional being, symbols and rituals, ethic codes, identities, and lifestyle. The findings revealed that the studied communities have tribal characteristics similar to the Western cycling cases, such as friendship, belonging, and collective enthusiasm. Meanwhile, differences of the communities from the Western cases were identified, such as more intense emotionality and stronger need for physical security and safe space. Implications for businesses and professionals that promote cycling for leisure, recreation and tourism purposes in Turkey were drawn based on the findings.KEYWORDS: Leisure communitiescycling communitiesneo-tribesethnographyrecreational cycling Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136282133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To preserve business continuity, many festivals shifted to online events to continue providing value for audiences, sponsors and artists. This paper focuses on the experiences of two of the oldest and largest mixed festivals in the country: The National Arts Festival and the Klein Karoo Nationale Kunstefees. Both festivals adapted by shifting online, necessitating significant programme, business model, and management innovation. Using the framework provided by the literature on visitor leisure experiences and e-eventscapes, the paper questions how arts festivals have achieved new e-eventscapes alongside providing online cultural programming. The paper uses a mixed methods research approach to analyse the experiences of festival managers and audiences in the differing approaches developed by the two festivals. Theoretical and practical implications from the study are discussed in the conclusions.KEYWORDS: FestivalsCOVID-19onlineeventscapeadaptationexperiences Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Using an average exchange rate for 2019 of R14.45 to the US$.2 Using an average exchange rate for 2018 of R13.25 to the US$.3 Living Standards Measures (LSMs) is an index based on household income, facilities and ownership of certain consumer goods.

Volunteering may create opportunities to develop resilience in older adults as it can serve as a coping strategy. This case study explored the perceived benefits of volunteering on resilience and various dimensions related to aging among elderly volunteer dancers. In this qualitative study, 13 volunteer performers of Korean traditional dance were recruited for in-depth interviews. The analysis of the transcripts generated five themes related to the benefits of volunteering that were unique to older volunteers: (1) finding a sense of self-worth through serving others, (2) finding a sense of purpose, (3) experiencing gratitude, (4) renewing a younger self, and (5) building companionship. The findings revealed that regular volunteering promoted the experience of resilience in the face of the challenges associated with aging.KEYWORDS: Older adultsvolunteeringresilience Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Yonsei University Research Grant of 2022 [grant number 2022-22-0392].","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135148682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It focused on drinking practices among waged workers in the parking space of a market. The distinguishable feature of drinking in public spaces among waged workers was the use of tactics to evade police or consume alcohol uncaught. Sustaining participation in such leisure activities in public spaces leads to a social world of drinkers among waged workers where professional bonds are forged, friendships are made, and networks of contacts are extended among the workers. This paper suggests that such legislation on drinking in public spaces could (re)consider the practice of drinking in moderation that maintains public propriety in the policymaking process rather than synonymizing it with impropriety.KEYWORDS: Drinkingpublic spacesocial worldwaged workersView correction statement:Correction Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe research was funded by the University Grant Commission (UGC), Government of India through Junior Research Fellowship.","PeriodicalId":47015,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Leisure Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136214628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
