description With the job opportunities it has created since the beginning of the 19th century, industrialization has been an effective factor in the migration of unemployed people to cities from rural regions worldwide. As industrial production activities have spread, more people have migrated to urban areas and, in turn, the rapidly increasing population began to cause problems in the cities. In addition to the problem mentioned above, difficulties in production and poor working conditions have given rise to the need for workers to have opportunities of rest and self-renewal. As it is, recreational activities have started to develop in the cities. Although efforts for the development of recreational activities in Turkey started a long time ago, essential developments in this field occurred after the 1950s when urbanization gained speed. This article studies the characteristics and distribution of the recreational activities in the city of Antakya. The main data sources of the study consist of reports and statistics issued by public institutions as well as printed and visual references and land surveys.
