Amaç: Bu çalışmada, rekreasyonel spor programlarına katılan ergenlerin algıladıkları topluluk hissi ve yaşam tatmininin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya belediyeler tarafından sunulan rekreasyonel spor programlarına katılan, 217'si kadın ve 185'i erkek, toplam 402 ergen birey katılmıştır. Veriler yüz yüze anket yöntemi ile elde edilmiştir. Anket ''Sporda Topluluk Hissi Ölçeği'', ''Yaşam Tatmini Ölçeği'' ve ''Kişisel bilgi formu'' olmak üzere üç bölümden oluşmuştur. Ölçümün geçerliği doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ve güvenirliği ise Cronbach alfa katsayısı ile değerlendirilmiştir. İki grubun karşılaştırılmasında t-test, ikiden fazla grubun karşılaştırılmasında tek yönlü varyans analizi ve değişkenler arasındaki ilişkinin yorumlanmasında ise basit doğrusal regresyon analizleri kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Analiz sonuçlarına göre, rekreasyonel spor programlarına katılan ergenlerin topluluk hissi ortalamalarının haftalık spora katılım süresine göre anlamlı olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Buna karşın, yaşam tatmini ortalamalarında hiçbir değişkende anlamlı bir farklılığa rastlanılmamıştır. Bununla birlikte regresyon analiz sonucuna göre, sporda algılanan topluluk hissinin, yaşam tatmini üzerinde %11,2'lik bir etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Rekreasyonel spora daha fazla süre ayıran ergenlerin algıladıkları topluluk hissi daha yüksektir. Dolayısıyla, ergenlerde algılanan topluluk hissinin geliştirilmesi için, spora ayrılan süre arttırılabilir. Böylece, sporda algılanan topluluk hissi aracılığıyla ergen bireylerin yaşam tatminleri pozitif yönde geliştirilebilir. Sonuç olarak, bulguların hem literatüre katkı sağlaması hem de programlarının tasarlanması konusunda uygulayıcılara yol gösterici olması beklenmektedir.

Objective: It was aimed to examine adolescents' perceived sense of community and life satisfaction who attended recreational sports programs in this study. Material and Methods: 402 adolescents, 185 of them female and 217 of them male, attended recreational sports programs provided by municipalities were included to the study. The data were collected by face-to-face survey method. The survey consisted of three sections: the ''Sport Sense of Community Scale'', ''Life Satisfaction Scale'' and ''Personal Information Form''. The validity of the measurement was evaluated by confirmative factor analysis and reliability by the Cronbach alfa coefficient. We employed a ttest to compare two groups and one-way analysis of variance for more than two groups and used linear regression analysis to interpret the relationship between variables. Results: According to results, the adolescents' average scores from the sense of community scale who attended the recreational sports program, were significant at weekly sport participants' time. In contrast, it was found that the average life satisfaction was not significant in any variable. However, according to the results of the regression analysis, it was confirmed that a perceived sense of community had an an effect of 11.2% on life satisfaction. Conclusion: Adolescents who allocate more time to recreational sports have a higher perceived sense of community. Therefore, in improving the perceived sense of community in adolescents, the time allocated to sports should be increased. Thus, the perceived sense of community in sports can improve adolescents' life satisfaction. In conclusion, it is expectat that the findings contribute to the literature and help practitioners design programs.
