Abstract: This study highlights the interpretation given to leisure time and the changes that have brought us to the current understanding of leisure practices. The study begins with the evolution of the concept of leisure time and deals with various perspectives on the interpretation of leisure time in the theoretical substantiation part, which help to build an overall picture of the topic. A series of research results are specified for understanding leisure time in relation to quality of life, non-formal and informal environments, the relationship with technology, age, gender and socio-professional status. The purpose of our research aims to identify the dominant leisure practices in young people and adults. We used an interview to find out the answers about leisure time, using a sample of young people and adults. We started by identifying the differences between young people and adults in terms of spending their leisure time and we narrowed our concerns to the specifics of it in young people with higher education in urban areas. We identified aspects related to leisure practices, involvement in leisure activities and their duration.
