ABSTRACT

E. A. Smith, R. A. Stebbins, and M. Dover define community involvement as local voluntary action, where members of a local community participate together in nonprofits groups or in other community activities. Leisure and work, to the extent that they are social and done with or oriented toward other people, are a pivotal kind of community involvement. Cultural development by way of community involvement is expedited by the presence of social capital. Leisure and devotee work can be main sources of self-development and, especially, of self-fulfillment. A person's social identity refers to the collective view that the other people in a particular leisure setting hold the same levels and acquisitions. Leisure policy can also be developed such that people have opportunities to find a high quality of life. The central activities of work and leisure occupy a prominent place in the lifestyles of devotees and serious leisure enthusiasts.
