Políticas públicas de lazer em Anicuns - GO

Abstract

Throughout its history, leisure has arisen from a direct relationship with the concept of leisure, which in turn was restricted to the social elites in ancient civilizations. Work, on the other hand, played a fundamental role in human survival, through its interaction with nature. However, with the rise of capitalism, work became alienated and assumed a central position, reorganizing time away from work around the demands of the market. As a result, the 1988 Constitution made leisure a social right. In this way, the study focuses on investigating how public leisure policies are developed in the municipality of Anicuns- GO, analyzing their organization, implementation and impact on the local population. Thus, the research is qualitative and exploratory, based on the few documents available, direct observations and oral sources. The results show that although Anicuns has spaces with great potential for leisure activities, many are in a precarious state, reflecting failures in planning and maintenance. In addition, investments are mostly concentrated on traditional sporting events and practices, limiting access to diversified activities. Finally, the study highlights the need for more effective public policies that promote leisure as a right, respecting local cultural identity and meeting the needs of the population.
