The aim of the research is to examine the effect of coronavirus anxiety on life satisfaction in recreational area use. For this purpose, 276 volunteer participants who came to Atatürk Park in Balıkesir province to spend their leisure formed the research sample. While the coronavirus anxiety scale was used to reveal the coronavirus anxiety of the participants, the Life Satisfaction Scale was used to evaluate the life satisfaction. Obtained data were tested via Smart PLS. As a result of examining the data obtained from the questionnaires in the structural model, it was determined that the coronavirus anxiety felt in the use of recreational areas negatively affects life satisfaction. According to the said effect, it was determined that coronavirus anxiety explained 4% of life satisfaction. In addition, it was understood that a one-unit change in coronavirus anxiety caused a negative change of -0.204 in life satisfaction. In conclusion, based on the findings of this study, it can be said that coronavirus anxiety negatively affects life satisfaction in recreational area use.

Araştırmanın amacı, rekreasyonel alan kullanımında koronavirüs kaygısının yaşam doyumuna etkisinin incelenmesidir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Balıkesir ilindeki Atatürk Parkı’na boş zamanlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla gelen 276 gönüllü katılımcı araştırma örneklemini oluşturmuştur. Katılımcıların koronavirüs kaygısının ortaya koyulması amacıyla koronavirüs kaygısı ölçeği kullanılırken yaşam doyumunun değerlendirilmesi için Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeğinden yararlanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler Smart PLS aracılığıyla test edilmiştir. Anketlerden elde edilen verilerin yapısal modelde incelenmesi sonucu rekreasyonel alan kullanımında hissedilen koronavirüs kaygısının yaşam doyumunu negatif yönde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Söz konusu etkiye göre, koronavirüs kaygısının yaşam doyumunu %4 açıkladığı saptanmıştır. Ayrıca koronavirüs kaygısında meydana gelecek bir birimlik değişimin yaşam doyumunda negatif yönlü olarak -0,204 düzeyinde bir değişime yol açtığı anlaşılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, bu araştırmada elde edilen bulgularından hareketle rekreasyonel alan kullanımında koronavirüs kaygısının yaşam doyumunu olumsuz etkilediği söylenebilir.
