Attitudes, sat-chit-ananda and harmony in life in leisure

This study aims to reveal the importance of recreation areas and opportunities in terms of destinations by determining the effects of individuals' attitudes on sat-chit-ananda and harmony in life. The study was carried out in Istanbul due to the density of recreation areas. 263 surveys were gathered using simple random sampling and analyzed by SMARTPLS 4 in the scope of SEM modeling. The study’s results revealed that leisure attitudes affect sat-chit-ananda dimensions and that sat-chit-ananda affects individuals' harmony in life. In this context, it is essential to conduct collective works in destinations to meet sat-chit-ananda, which indicates spiritual well-being and is related to the emotional and cognitive perspectives of well-being, to create harmony.
