Diversity is a fundamental feature of human social development, the harmonious coexistence of diverse personality of the individual and the development of means to survive and living conditions and social environment needed to achieve a good butt. One major obstacle is the diversity of harmonious coexistence of social exclusion. The sociological concept of social inclusion and social exclusion Correspondingly, a source from the concept together, refers to a series of measures taken by the government in education, health, social security,employment, information and communication,security and other aspects of preventing social exclusion; from integrated into the main view, reflects the exclusion from the social mainstream groups (such as immigrants, the unemployed,the elderly, the disabled, etc. ) to integrate into society through economic,behavioral, and psychological levels. With the development of productive forces,people are increasingly concerned about the quality of life of individuals, through participation in leisure activities, leisure body can adjust the body and mind,enhance social interaction with others, to achieve personal development, promote social relationships and social inclusion. Globalization of mass education, mass and mass tourism has changed the traditional relationship between people's behavior and citizenship between leisure, recreation and community life for the individual and social value of the profound significance of the gradual highlights,vision leisure scholars also extended to specific groups leisure participation,leisure constraints, leisure and how to promote the social inclusion of individuals and other topics. Western countries began in the 20th century for leisure services disabled groups of four or five years, after half a century of development, has gone from "isolation" to "integration" the concept of transformation and service practice,from environmental facilities, services aspects, legal norms are fully valued and protect the rights of disabled persons casual, "Inclusive casual" concept put forward and gradually improve the service system, reflecting Western society in the provision of leisure services for special groups gradual process towards fair treatment from special treatment and promote the integration concept.Their current state, this special group of disabled people vulnerable to discrimination and prejudice, it is difficult to enjoy the ordinary people access to basic social services, regardless of the scope of the world or from the perspective,the social inclusion of disabled people are still in the lower levels, and this problem under more and more specific concerns, the government and society committed to social justice, the inevitable path of realization of human equality and comprehensive development. From casual handicapped current situation, the Chinese government's concern for the disabled are mostly focused on the aspects of basic living security, rehabilitation, employment, education, etc.,and the disabled to participate in normal community life and leisure activities, together with non- disabled people to enjoy recreational resources and integrate into society through casual way in mainstream discourse space minimal.In theory, the participation of existing research in leisure activities is just one measure of a large segment indicators of social inclusion in the index system, the majority of studies point to the integration of policies, systems and environmental construction, and less attention to improving research through leisure participation individual's participation in social life and integration status ; while the theory and empirical research points to casual leisure participation is more effective, leisure satisfaction, quality of life, subjective well-being, such as the outcome variable,but in addition to leisure participation can bring physical and mental benefits,social benefits outer enhance the quality of life and well-being, such as the value of social inclusion for individuals how to value different dimensions of leisure participation and influence the existence of differences in the social inclusion of different types of leisure activities to participate if there is a different impact on social inclusion, despite the western leisure scholars have conducted research integration inclusive perspective casual, but a comprehensive theory of social inclusion and leisure participation theory, and the disabled to participate in the research study to examine the relationship between integration has not yet visible.Based on these realities and the theoretical background and current situation of the research involved in the theoretical perspective from casual social inclusion under way, based on the study of this particular disabilities, by means of questionnaires and quantitative research to understand the background of China's urban life based disability participation, revealing the impact of differences in leisure participation overall impact on the relationship between social inclusion and participation of different types of activities and leisure on the different dimensions of social inclusion, to verify the theoretical model of leisure participation and social inclusion relations and further analysis of the value of leisure participation and influence social inclusion features, on the basis of how to build the country "Inclusive style" leisure service system are proposed.Specifically, this study includes a total of five sections. The first part describes the research background, purpose and meaning, content, methods and technology roadmap and research innovation, this study was carried out on a general overview. The second part of social inclusion, leisure participation, leisure benefits, and leisure involvement related theories review and comment, and then find the entry point and the theoretical perspective of this study.The third part establishes a theoretical framework and hypotheses of this study. It firstly reflects the status of disabled people to participate in recreational activities, leisure activities, based on the classification, combined with the results of "A survey on Leisure life of the disabilities" reflects the different types of disabilities to participate in recreational activities. Then, the paper defines the leisure participation and social inclusion content and dimensions, and the relationship between the two logical deduction, based on theoretical analysis of the concept model and assuming that the casual relationship between participation and social inclusion.The fourth part of the conceptual model based on the study design and hypothesis testing, the paper first describes the scale leisure participation and social inclusion scale design and pre-test reliability and validity testing and data analysis methods, and through the "handicapped leisure participation and social inclusion status questionnaire" collected disabilities in home entertainment,cultural and social classes and outdoor sports and recreation category class 3 activities leisure participation and social inclusion status, based on survey data,using structural equation modeling approach to theoretical models the test. The results show that, first, the degree of participation of disabled people through the mediating effect leisure psychological distance dimensions promote their social inclusion degree of economic integration and psychological distance dimensions greater than the impact on the degree of influence the behavior of adaptation.Secondly, leisure participation of different dimensions of social inclusion fordisabled people affected to varying degrees, the extent of participation is lower than the emotional impact of the behavior involved. Again, there are differences with disabilities in different types of activities to participate in, their social inclusion impact, behavioral involvement, home entertainment type of activity involved in the impact of social inclusion highest cultural social class impact ranking Secondly, outdoor sports recreation classes Low impact; emotional involvement, the opposite impact.The fifth part of the research are summarized, summarize and explain the assumptions and conclusions based on research results of data analysis, based on this type of building an inclusive leisure service system and proposals put forward thinking, the final analysis of the limitations of this study exist, and propose future research directions are discussed.Innovation of this paper is mainly reflected in the following four areas:First,this study based on inclusive recreation ideas,discuss with disabilities to participate in recreational and social inclusion of the relationship, and compare the impact of different dimensions of leisure participation differences on social inclusion, research results can compensate for the social inclusion of disabled persons leisure and related research insufficient to provide more innovative ideas for future research analysis. In this study, the connotation of leisure Perspective leisure participation of disabled people and to measure dimensions of research,sociological perspective on the social inclusion of disabled people to study the meaning and dimensions, and build a relationship between the two models,through theoretical and empirical analysis reveal individual values of social inclusion leisure behavior and leisure participation reached significance as a social inclusion path.Second, this study did not follow the previous level of participation of leisure participation study only involved in different types of activities and the frequency of leisure time to measure the body, but the combination of the characteristics of the disabled,try to participate in recreation and leisure involvement theory combining theory participation from behavioral and emotional involvement of both leisure visits involvement. In normal leisure activities in the majority of non-disabled persons, persons with disabilities can not be limited to the constraints involved in the real action, but does not prevent it to be concerned about from the attitudes and emotions, so this study will attract, central and self-expression, etc.involved summed up the emotional dimension into the involvement, participation and emotional reveal characteristic behavior of social inclusion affect participation differences to help disabled people to understand the depth of leisure participation,in order to construct the context of social inclusion inclusive leisure services system to provide references.Third, the study of other groups in the social inclusion of domestic and international economic integration made on the basis of research, behavioral adaptation and psychological distance three dimensions, and the psychological distance dimensions as leisure participation and social inclusion relations mediating variables, revealing the context of leisure participation and disabled under special background, into the level of integration of the subjective dimension of the reverse influence the level of the objective dimension. Empirical researches social inclusion to immigration, migrants, the city's new immigrants as the main target, the corresponding linear integrated into the study of basic recognition of economic, behavioral, cultural, and psychological dimensions of progressive relationship, and psychological integration as the integration of the highest objectives of this study attempts to pre-impact benefits through leisure participation, revealing possible by improving the integration of the main psychological distance and then promote their integration into the economic aspects of behavior and enrich the social inclusion of theory and practice for the social inclusion of persons with disabilities to provide theoretical guidance .Fourth, this study attempts to use the space for recreational activities in nature and type of activities to be divided, and analyze the type of activity involved in regulating effect on leisure and social inclusion relations. In this study, based on the characteristics and inherent limitations of the disabled, the use of subjective classification, the types of recreational activities are divided into categories of home entertainment, culture, social class, and outdoor sports and recreation category, reflecting the partial static nature of family entertainment,combining static and dynamic strong and dynamic social activities and recreational sports activities, the space reflects the family as the core of the enclosed space, such as semi-enclosed public places, spaces and outdoor spaces, open spaces, leisure participation and social inclusion in the relational model classification reveal the effect of disabilities to participate in recreational activities of different nature and space for social inclusion, and provide reference for inclusive leisure services and environmental construction project design.Limited resources and ability level,there are still many limitations in this study. Firstly, the study content: first, it is a measure of leisure participation subjective analysis divided the type of activity, may ignore certain disability groups typical leisure activities; second, the social inclusion of analysis and measurement to measure the level of subjective dimension is not deep enough ;third, it is unable to study the relationship between the various dimensions of the main internal variables, and therefore can not be more comprehensive reflect its impact mechanisms. Secondly, the research methods, this study used structural equation modeling method for quantitative studies designed to .measure the scale variable dimensions covered some of the variables is not perfect and precise, it may cause confusion respondents appear selective effect on data results. The latter study may try to use to get into more depth interview method to quality information. Finally, the empirical study sample selection, can not use the usual channels scattered evenly screening sample,which resulted in the distribution of demographic characteristics and specifications not uniform, and to a lesser extent in addition to part of the physically disabled persons, almost all the research object auxiliary needs volunteers to complete the questionnaire, a certain degree of understanding will lead to bias and affect the quality of the final study results.
