SUMMARY:

Leisure as an object of study has been attracting attention in Brazil since the 1970s, but research related to the theme in the city of Natal is commonly related to tourism or restricted to very specific sectors/aspects, so we sought to carry out a more comprehensive research on of leisure, taking into account, above all, the perceptions of the population regarding the theme. The general objective of our work was to analyze and describe the life experiences that culminated in the appreciation (or not) of leisure by individuals, and as specific objectives, we aim to present the meanings and analyze the values of leisure for the people of Natal, identify cultural interests predominant leisure activities in our population and to map the leisure physical/sports activities of these citizens. Thus, we begin our study by making a brief exposition of the history of leisure, then we present its concepts, functions and contents over time, reflect on the origin of fundamental values and consider the possibilities of leisure values, and finally undertake in analysis of the perceptions of the Natal population about the meanings, values and experiences of leisure. We delimited the city of Natal/RN and its metropolitan region as a research space, defining the final number of participants by theoretical saturation, reaching a quantitative of 94 social actors. The research methodology used followed a qualitative, descriptive approach, where an online questionnaire was applied as a data collection tool, using Bardin's categorical content analysis in data analysis. We concluded our research with exciting results, which demonstrated a certain awareness of the population regarding our object of study. Furthermore, desirable values were attributed to leisure and its importance was recognized by society, although it is still necessary to find solutions to some issues that presented themselves as recurrent impediments to the enjoyment of leisure, the participation of Natal residents in activities of this nature is still encouraging.
