The perceptions of youth who buying service from youth center on social policy

In youth, being aware of how to use the leisure time for a young person and knowing how to reach the activities that can be done for leisure time have positive effects in many areas physically, emotionally and psychologically. Leisure time can be evaluated in two different ways for a young person. The first one is that various activities to relieve stress of the day, as well as activities to contribute to personal development, social behavior in the direction of good shape activities; the second is a reliable environment that will protect it from environmental risks. According to the researches, it is found that the correct evaluation of leisure time for a young person not only reduces stress but also improves academic performance and benefits to social life. Youth centers, which can be put into service by the central government and established by local governments, are an important example of social policy. However, the direct perception of the concept of social policy is difficult to understand unless concrete. This research was conducted to measure how students' perceptions of the concept of social policy are shaped by utilizing youth centers that serve youth as a social policy. In order to measure the perceptions of young people towards the concept of social policy, information was asked directly based on different social policy practices and objectives. When the youth is examined in terms of biological, psychological and sociological aspects, it is seen that different problems and expectations are periodically diversified. Considering this diversity, providing a holistic service is necessary for the long term benefit of the implemented policy. Within the scope of this study, an important gap will be filled in the literature by drawing the conceptual framework of social policy and youth. When the results were analyzed, it was observed that especially women and secondary school students between the ages of 12 and 15 were more having full knowledge of concept of social policy and the application examples implemented in this understanding. This can be attributed to the current government's frequent use of the concept of social state in policy discourses. Keywords: Young, Youth, Leisure Time, Youth Centers, Social Policy
