The quarter (x2) test, which allows to study the relationship between two categories of data, calculated the ratio level of the variables while the contingency coefficient in the r×r tables, and the Cramer's V value in the r×c tables. In comparison of the sub-dimensions of the BZEÖ, two independent sampling t tests were applied in comparison of the class variants, one-way variance analysis tests. The study found that half of students (41.1%) spent their free time participating in home activities. When the participants examined the recreational field qualifications of the high school and the residential district, 40.3% said that the recreational areas of the high school were sufficient, 28.3% said that the recreational areas of the residential district were partially sufficient. From the point of view of the free time assessment, only 5.7 percent of students with 10 hours or more of their free time said they used high school recreational areas.

In the first part of the data collection tools, there are demographic questions which determine the personal characteristics of students such as age, gender, school and grade etc, and in the second part, there are questions to determine the leisure opportunities and recreational tendencies of the students. In chapter 3, Leisure Constraints Questionnaire (LCE) was used. In the study, descriptive census science data were calculated by number, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Chi-square (x2) test, which enables to examine the relationship between two categorical data, was performed, while calculating the relationship level of variables, Contingency Coefficient in r×r tables and Cramer's V value in r×c tables were examined. Independent samples t test in the comparison of LCE sub-dimensions according to gender variables; One-way analysis of variance (One Way ANOVA) test was used to compare school and classroom variables. According to the results of this study that almost half of the students (%41,1) spend their time indoors. In terms of recreation areas of the district and high school, the results indicate that %40,3 of the participants find the areas of the high school sufficient, while %20,3 find those of district partially sufficient. In terms of leisure time utilization, of the students who have 10 hours of leisure time or more, only %5.7 of them stated that they used the recreational areas of the high school.
