Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the study is to develop a " scale for determine factors motivating participation in recreation activities". The scale was developed as a result of the literature review. The data were collected by a questionnaire applied to amateur recreation participants who were members and unmember of sports clubs in Antalya destination in 2019. Exploratory and confirmatory analyzes related to the scale were performed. According to the result of the factor analysis, a five-dimensional scale (success-oriented, challenge, risk-taking, individuality and innovation) was obtained, which explained 60.86% of the total variance. When the KMO values are examined, the KMO values of the dimensions are at an acceptable level since there is no value below 0.50. When factor loads of the items in the dimensions are examined, the lowest value is 0.448 and no value below 0.40 indicates that the expressions are suitable for the dimensions. CA values are above 0.80, so the dimensions are reliable and have internal consistency. After factor analysis, DFA analysis was done through structural equation model. According to the results, the goodness of fit of the model is sufficient.
