Since the working hours have been shortened and the level of living improved, the use of leisure has taken an important position in Koreans’ living. Therefore, the situation about the use of Koreans’ leisure has been searched, and then, conclusions will be as follows; 1. Korean men (adults) use leisure time for 4.87 hours un weekdays, 5.37 hours on saturdays, and 6.90 hours on sundays in 1983. Women (adults) use leisure time for 4.93 hours on weekdays, 5.11 hours on saturdays, and 5.81 hours on sundays in 1983. 2. The working hours per week became short into 57.9% in 1968 and 52.9% in 1971, and the leisure time 54.0 hours in 1980 and 53.7 hours in 1981. 3. A variable of the use of leisure seems to be very influenced by sex, newspapers, reading magazines, religion and the level of education. 4. The function of leisure in Koreans can be divided into easy-function and inverse-function: the easy function physiological, mental, emotional, creational function, the function of promoting humanity, realizing and socializing themselves, and granting the view of value, but the inverse function can be the function of uniformity, camouflage, non-valuable conflict among classes, and numbness in political awareness. 5. The way of substitutionally approaching for the use of leisure may be to reconstruct democratization, education, humanization, creation, and the way of speech for leisure.
