Abstract

An appropriate model to quantify leisure travel has not yet been devel-oped. In leisure studies, the major objects of analysis for leisure activities have been leisure activities as per reference groups based on the family lifecycle. In this study, leisure travel characteristics for each reference group based on the family lifecycle are analyzed to present a methodology of designing a leisure travel demand model. The analyses lead to the fol-lowing conclusions: first, a leisure travel demand model should be present-ed based on the family lifecycle in light of the individual households' giv-en circumstances. Second, with leisure travel showing different patterns depending on leisure type, a leisure travel demand model should be de-signed with due attention paid to a detailed differentiation of leisure activi-ties. Consequently, to present a methodology that effectively reflects the complex and multiple characteristics of leisure travel integrating the family lifecycle as well as leisure types.
