| Abstract: | Project-based leisure (henceforth as: p-b-l.) is a short-term, moderately complicated, one-shot or occasional though infrequent, creative undertaking carried out in free time. This paper aims to present a conceptual framework detailed enough to focus inquiry, but at the same time open-ended enough to permit and encourage effective and extensive exploration of the (theoretically) new form. Among those likely to engage in p-b-l. are people with heavy workloads; homemakers, mothers and fathers with extensive domestic responsibilities; and unemployed individuals who, though looking for work, still have time at the moment for projects. In the conclusion, p-b-l. is discussed as a form of leisure experience. |
