Abstract

Sustainability, which points to the common denominator of the countries in the fields of environment, economy and society, etc., ensures that the expectations of a better life are met in this common denominator. Sustainability plays a role in sustaining the existence of cultural systems through its social dimension. In a cultural system, due to its structure which influences and is influenced by culture, sport reflects the characteristics of the society in which it is done, and thus, it is one of the elements that make up the culture. It is only with this transfer that the culture which has been progressing with the accumulation and transferred from the past to the present is transferred to the new generations. In other words, sustainability of culture is possible by transference. As with other elements of culture, the transfer of sport heritage to the next generations is of great importance for the sustainability of sport culture. Sport museums, as the areas where the sport heritage, starting to form with the history of humanity, are presented to the society, play an important role in creating a sustainable sport culture. The aim of this article is to examine and analyze the meaning of place and existence of heritage transfer in the sustainable development of sport culture through sport museums by literature search method.
