Synopsis

Recreation is a multifaceted concept that enhances quality of life while promoting physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In modern societies, increasing stress levels, technological dependence, and disconnection from nature have highlighted the need for individuals to reconnect with natural environments and engage in meaningful, alternative activities. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of recreation’s diverse dimensions, ranging from green exercise to therapeutic recreation. Topics such as park use in local governments, adventure-based experiences, Nordic walking, and therapeutic models are discussed from both academic and practical perspectives. Emphasizing the transformative power of recreation on individuals and communities, this work aims to contribute to the scientific literature and guide the development of future recreation practices.
