Abstract:

Studies on the perception of leisure time of university students focus more on the effect of leisure time activities on students' academic achievement. University students generally refer to the group that comes from different cities (these cities can be far or near) to the city where the university is established or lives in the same city. In this context, the awareness of students, who come from both the same city and other cities, about the historical and cultural assets of the city where the university was founded differs. Leisure time states how time spent outside the school and doing different things rather than educational activities is used for university students. At this point, a relationship emerges between the perception of leisure time and awareness of historical and cultural assets. In this study, the factors affecting the awareness of the historical and cultural heritage of university students about Bitlis which has been home to different civilisations and whose historical and cultural heritage is extremely rich, are examined. Factors affecting Bitlis Eren University students' awareness of historical and cultural heritage are the family's monthly income, number of siblings, relationship status and the region where students come from.
