| In the context of urbanization,there are more and more elderly left behind in rural areas.With the improvement of agricultural production conditions,the leisure time of the left behind elderly is increasing,and leisure life has become an important part of their daily life.However,the lack of public cultural activities and the backwardness of cultural infrastructure,resulting in the leisure life of the elderly left behind boring,and their social needs is difficult to be effectively met.The quality of leisure life directly affects the level of happiness of the elderly left behind.In this paper,the author investigated the production and living condition of the left behind elderly in H village by means of unstructured interview and questionnaires,and specifically analyzed the leisure life of the elderly from four aspects: the leisure time,leisure activities,and leisure idea and leisure places.The results showed that the main problems were monotonous leisure activities,which further affected the distribution of their leisure time and the correct understanding of leisure life.Therefore,to improve the leisure life of the elderly should start from enriching their leisure activities.The regional development model mainly provides guidance for the social workers to intervene in the leisure life of the elderly from two aspects: firstly the working method,and secondly the working principle.According to the working method,the service process is divided into three stages:(1)the exploration period,mainly from the beginning to enter the village to planning of services,through contacting with the relevant personnel and village organizations to understand of the basic status and the problems of the village,and on this basis to develop service programs;(2)the intervention stage,mainly to mobilize the resources of the village to carry out the service activities for the elderly left behind.(3)the review period,mainly to evaluate and reflect the effectiveness of the services provided,in order to assess the completion of the service objectives.The working concept is the independent participation and mutual cooperation,and fully mobilizing the elderly subjectivity and enthusiasm to participate in the service process,including the preliminary understanding of the needs,making planning,coordination of resources and actively participation in the middle,so as to use their own strength to improve the elderly leisure life.Specifically,the work of the first phase has three main aspects: firstly,to establish formal working relationship with the elderly association,the village committee and the elderly left behind;secondly,to analyze the leisure life through interviews and questionnaires to identify the issues to be addressed;thirdly,to determine the service objectives,making corresponding service plans.The work of the second phase has two main aspects: firstly the organization and mobilization,that is,to fully mobilize the various resources of the elderly association to do the publicity and preparatory work;secondly activities execution,that is,according to the service plan to carry out practical activities,which is not only the process of meeting the leisure life needs of the elderly left behind,but tapping the elderly elite of expertise and capability.The work of the third phase has two aspects: firstly assessment,including pre assessment,process evaluation and effect evaluation;secondly to reflect on the lack of the entire service activities.The community activities in different forms enriched the leisure life of the elderly,and enhanced the emotional exchange between the elderly,finally improved the ability of activities and leisure life of the elderly left behind in a certain extent.At the same time,some strengths and activists were found in the activities carrying out,but also the working ability of the cadres and the elderly was appropriately exercised and enhanced.Finally,these activities benefited to develop “respect and love the old” cultural atmosphere,and promoted the healthy development of village cultural activities to a certain extent. |
