Phenomenology and Sport Spaces

Abstract

When it comes to overseeing sporting venues and amenities, sports managers nowadays take on a variety of roles and duties. Studying "Phenomenology and Sports Spaces," the theme seeks to gather perspectives from students in the third year of the University Autonomy of Lisbon's Sports Management degree on the convergence of phenomenology and sports spaces. Specifically, the focus is on the lines of thinking and action within the context of sports facilities and spaces, taking into account a variety of factors, including the sports manager, phenomenology, the phenomenological space of sport, and future challenges. The sociodemographic study revealed that there was minimal variation among students with respect to age, gender, household, country of residence, and nationality. A quantitative, descriptive methodology was applied. When asked about sports spaces and how they improve sport, the study's student body as a whole had a consensus, as evidenced by the results. Sports spaces should be considered and designed as components that create environments, services, programmes, and technology. founded on fundamental and universal values, and open to everybody. Furthermore, the goal is to give future sports managers, designers, and planners fresh perspectives and forward-thinking ideas for today's and tomorrow's sports venues. In summary, the goal is to raise awareness of common concerns regarding the convergence of phenomenology and sports spaces and to spark interest in the investigation and study of likely themes. These concerns will be presented by prominent figures in the field of sport, particularly in the management of sports spaces, including philosophers, psychologists, architects, and managers.
