The paper originates with the premise that the current concept of leisure I tourism and leisure studies research is largely based on labor relations under capitalism, and subsequently understood according the following viewpoints of: escape from labor; and refreshment for labor. From this frame of reference, this paper proposes a heuristic framework that simplifies existential dimensions of human existence into two axis of fact-value and necessity-freedom. Arranging leisure into the realm of freedom from the framework, we reviewed works on Marx, Arendt, and Aristotle which highlight internal relations between leisure and freedom, and concludes that leisure in nature is not just a by-product of labor or work but is spontaneously generated in the realm of freedom. Furthermore true leisure which is spontaneously generated in the realm of freedom that enables us to reflect and contemplate on modern consumptive leisure. This paper contributes to widen current perspectives on labor centered leisure to post-labor centered leisure, accordingly provides opportunity to reflect our current consumptive life.

This study examined the concept of fairness and its presence as a tourism phenomenon. With this aim, the authors limited focus towards the phenomenon of what is considered fair or unfair as perceived and/or experienced amongst tourism stake holders as discussed in the form of discourse. The former topic area addresses the approach of fairness revealed in prior research on fair tourism, fair travel, and responsible tourism. This approach was later additionally divided into two sub-categories; 'fairness of region benefits', and 'fairness of tourism supply'. In the fairness of region benefits, the relationship of 'region and tourism developer', 'region and tourists' and 'region, developer, and tourists' were heavily discussed. In the fairness of tourism supply, the themes of 'unfairness among developers' and 'unethical behaviors of tourists and tourism developers' were subsequently addressed. Focused on these approaches, this article suggested potential solutions for unfairness that occur between subjects in tourism system.

The concept and notion of space and its realm of meaning vary significantly according to its configurational change. Space syntax is a method to analyse space configuration and is used in the various disciplines such as architecture and urban planning and design; which produces objective, quantifiable indicators. The investigation of theme park space offers a representative setting for understanding the role of space and how it impacts modern leisure and consumption through social logic. The space arrangement and site layout at theme parks and the resulting tourist flow have a direct impact of visitor experiences; in particular, the flow of congestion throughout traffic areas and its influence visitor consumption patterns. This study using Space Syntax was conducted to investigate how space is configured at Everland Theme park space in South Korea to promote user consumption. The findings confirm that Everland’s space configuration facilitates user wandering and by dispersing user flow and that its facilities stimulate impulsive consumption and greater involvement.
