The increasing impact of digital technologies on social interactions within the framework of leisure activities reveals the necessity of expanding the scope of the sociology of leisure to include communication processes. Within the scope of this study, which aims to explore the effects of the digitalisation of communication processes on the field of sociology of leisure time, the studies conducted in the disciplines of communication studies, sociology and leisure studies that address the effects of the transformation in communication processes on leisure time are synthesised in the light of a comprehensive literature review. In this direction, firstly, the results of the change from traditional communication methods to digital platforms such as social media are examined, and the difficulties that arise as well as the increase in speed and access in communication processes as a result of digitalisation are revealed. In the second part, the effects of digitalisation on society and leisure time, including the evaluation of leisure time in the digital environment and various problems specific to the digital age, are examined. In the last part of the study, the transformative effects of the spread of digital communication on the field of digital leisure are analysed, and in this context, it is revealed how the field of sociology of leisure is restructured in the digital age. Technological developments in the digital age make it necessary to carry out new theoretical studies in the field of the sociology of leisure in line with the in-depth examination of the effects of virtual interactions, digital inequality, gaming experiences, digital leisure time and social media. The adoption of an interdisciplinary approach, which brings together the fields of communication, sociology, tourism and technology, emerges as a highly significant issue in order to comprehensively understand the interactional relationship between the phenomena of leisure and digitalisation and to reveal more effective strategies in the context of ensuring the sustainability of leisure.

İLETİŞİM SÜREÇLERİNİN DİJİTALLEŞMESİ BAĞLAMINDA BOŞ ZAMAN SOSYOLOJİSİNİN DÖNÜŞÜMÜ

Öz

Dijital teknolojilerin boş zaman değerlendirme etkinlikleri çerçevesinde gerçekleşen sosyal etkileşimler üzerindeki etkisinin her geçen gün artması, boş zaman sosyolojisinin kapsamının iletişim süreçlerini de kapsayacak şekilde genişletilmesi gerekliliğini ortaya çıkarmaktadır. İletişim süreçlerinin dijitalleşmesinin boş zaman sosyolojisi alanı üzerindeki etkilerinin keşfedilmesinin amaçlandığı bu çalışma kapsamında; iletişim süreçlerindeki dönüşümün boş zaman üzerindeki etkilerini ele alan iletişim çalışmaları, sosyoloji ve boş zaman çalışmaları disiplinlerinde gerçekleştirilmiş olan çalışmalar kapsamlı bir alanyazın taraması ışığında sentezlenmektedir. Bu doğrultuda öncelikle geleneksel iletişim yöntemlerinden sosyal medya gibi dijital platformlara doğru yaşanan değişimin ortaya çıkardığı sonuçlar irdelenmekte, dijitalleşme sonucunda iletişim süreçlerinde yaşanan hız ve erişim artışının yanı sıra ortaya çıkan zorluklar ortaya konulmaktadır. İkinci bölümde boş zamanın dijital ortamda değerlendirilmesi ve dijital çağa özgü çeşitli sorunlar da dâhil olmak üzere dijitalleşmenin toplum ve boş zaman üzerindeki etkileri mercek altına alınmaktadır. Çalışmanın son bölümünde ise dijital iletişimin yaygınlaşmasının dijital boş zaman alanı üzerindeki dönüştürücü etkileri incelenmekte, bu bağlamda boş zaman sosyolojisi alanının dijital çağda nasıl yeniden yapılandırıldığı gözler önüne serilmektedir. Dijital çağda yaşanan teknolojik gelişmeler; boş zaman sosyolojisi alanında sanal etkileşimlerin, dijital eşitsizliğin, oyun deneyimlerinin, dijital boş zaman ve sosyal medyanın etkilerinin derinlemesine incelenmesi doğrultusunda yeni kuramsal çalışmaların gerçekleştirilmesini gerekli hale getirmektedir. Boş zaman ve dijitalleşme olguları arasındaki etkileşimsel ilişkinin kapsamlı bir şekilde anlaşılması ve boş zamanın sürdürülebilirliğinin sağlanması bağlamında daha etkili stratejilerin ortaya konulması noktasında; iletişim, sosyoloji, turizm ve teknoloji alanlarının bir araya getirildiği disiplinler arası yaklaşımın benimsenmesi oldukça mühim bir husus olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır.
