dc.description.abstractThe aim of this research is to determine the levels of curiosity and exploration, event and life satisfaction levels of individuals participating in activities in these areas and compare these levels according to various demographic variables. The universe of the study is the individuals in Erzurum city. The sample group consisted of 1140 volunteers, 585 males and 555 females, who attended activities in recreation areas. In this research, recreation areas of Erzurum city were determined and ARCGIS 10.5 program based on GPS systems and geographic information systems were used to map these areas. The \"The Curiosity and Exploration Inventory\" (CEI-II), \" Event Satisfaction Scale\" (ESS) and \"Life Satisfaction Scale\" (LSS) were used as data collection tools in the study. Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, ANOVA and Simple Correlation tests were used in the analysis of the obtained data. Cronbach's Alpha analysis was carried out to determine the reliability of measurement tools. According to the findings obtained, “age\", \"marital status\" and \"educational status\", a statistically significant difference was found in all scale scores of the variables whereas according to the variable \"place of participation in activities\", there is statistically significant difference in \"ESS\" and \"LSS\". According to the correlation between the scales, it was found that there is only a positive and low level statistically significant correlation between the total average scores of the “LSS” and the total average scores of the “ESS”. It was concluded that the levels of curiosity and exploration, event satisfaction, and life satisfaction of the participants differ according to their various demographic characteristics and that the higher the satisfaction obtained from the activities, the higher the life satisfaction.
