| Summary: | In my diploma thesis The transformation of lifestyle of Czech youth over 1989 I focus on the transformations of the Czech youth after 1989 in terms of their lifestyle. The concept of lifestyle that I work with incorporates primarily the subject of free time spending and of this youth's values. Ever since the birth of the liberal Czech society, we have been witnessing the progressing process of globalization and development in the field of technologies and internet which are influencing the ways how the leisure time is being spent and how the lifestyles are being shaped. The main goals of this work are (1) to examine the transformation of the frequency of activities those are in this work defining the concept of lifestyle among Czech youth after 1989, (2) to determine whether the structure and content of leisure activities have changed, and (3) to ascertain which determinants were influencing free-time tendencies of the Czech youth. In order to meet the above-mentioned goals I applied comparative secondary data analysis based on the research called Transformation of Social Structure 1991 and on international research on pupils PISA-L 2003. Keywords Sociology of Youth, Lifestyle, Leisure, Values, Czech Youth, Adolescent, Generation
