ICT, Leisure and Social Capital.

      Аннотация: In the twentieth century, leisure has emerged as a critical issue in people’s lives. Increased material standard of living, better health, increased level of education, a declining percentage of life devoted to work, and greater personal freedom has provided, for many, a vastly increased potential for leisure. With the development of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), the interactions between ICT and social capital in organizations and society at large have drawn both researchers‘ and policymakers‘ attention. However, studies in this area are still in their early stages. There is inadequate knowledge about the relationship between ICT and social capital, that is, about how ICT affects social capital.
