Sustainable development between sports facilities and ecological environment based on the dual carbon background.

The sustainable development of sports facilities and their integration with the ecological environment are crucial in addressing global environmental challenges. This study examines the coupling coordination between sports facilities and the ecological environment in nine prefecture-level cities in Fujian Province, China, from 2013 to 2020, within the framework of China's "Dual Carbon" strategy. Using a multidisciplinary approach that integrates economics, sociology, and geography, the study employs the entropy method and coupling coordination models to analyze the temporal evolution and spatial distribution of the coupling coordination between sports facilities and the ecological environment. The findings reveal that the overall trend of coupling coordination is positive, with the degree of coordination improving over time from severe imbalance in 2013 to high-quality coordination by 2020. Economic factors, such as per capita GDP, positively influence the coupling coordination, while factors like population density and regional GDP have a negative impact. Coastal cities, such as Xiamen and Zhangzhou, demonstrate stronger regional correlations and play a critical role in improving the overall coupling level of the province. This research provides several recommendations for promoting orderly and optimal development, considering the distinct characteristics of sports facilities and the ecological environment.

Sports Facility Development and Politics in Budapest since 1945

The interaction between sports and politics has extensively contributed to shaping the sports system, which is evident in the creation of sports facilities and institutions in Hungary. The legal framework of sports organizations, potential of elite and grassroots athletes, incorporation of Hungarian sports into the international sports structure, and public financial funding of physical activity have been dependent on the dominant political powers and existing international diplomatic relationships. The history of sports facility development in Budapest and the role of capital in organising international sporting events faced new political challenges after World War II. During the socialist era, the main role of sports was to prove the excellence of the socialist system; therefore, political leadership provided funds to create a suitable environment for top athletes to train and compete. After the political and economic transition of 1989–1990, sports encountered the challenges of an unfamiliar market economy. After a decade of adaptation, from the beginning of the twenty-first century, sports assumed a new strategic role in creating a healthier society, which included significant investments in Budapest’s sports infrastructure.

Influence of Accessible Sports Facilities on Community Health Outcomes in Tanzania

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the influence of accessible sports facilities on community health outcomes in Tanzania. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: The study indicated that the presence of easily reachable sports amenities significantly boosts physical activity levels among community members. This increased engagement in regular exercise leads to improved physical health, reducing the incidence of chronic diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular ailments, and diabetes. Additionally, accessible sports facilities foster mental well-being by providing venues for stress relief, social interaction, and community bonding. Such facilities promote inclusivity, allowing individuals of varying ages and abilities to participate in physical activities, thereby enhancing overall community health. Furthermore, the availability of these facilities is linked to better health education and awareness, encouraging healthier lifestyle choices. The cumulative effect is a more active, healthier, and socially cohesive community, demonstrating the critical role of accessible sports facilities in enhancing public health outcomes. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social ecological model (SEM), health belief model and theory of planned behaviour may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the influence of accessible sports facilities on community health outcomes. Community planners and designers should prioritize the development of inclusive and well-maintained sports facilities that cater to diverse populations. Policymakers should prioritize funding for the construction and maintenance of sports facilities, particularly in underserved areas. This can involve allocating resources specifically for community parks and recreational centers to ensure equitable access.

Sustainable Coupling Coordination and Influencing Factors of Sports Facilities Construction and Social Economy Development in China

Sports facilities are a crucial physical safeguard and means of sustaining sporting activities. The steady and healthy development of sports facilities can promote the sustainable development of the social economy. In order to explore the coordination status and influencing factors between sports facilities construction and the social economy, this paper built a coupling coordination evaluation index system and dynamic factor index system for the sports facilities construction and social economy development by using the entropy method, coupling coordination model and random effect model. This paper assessed the comprehensive level, coupling coordination relationship, and influencing factors of the sports facilities and social economy development of nine cities in the Fujian Province across China from 2016 to 2020. The results show the overall level of sports facilities construction in Fujian is better than the social economy development, and the two systems are interacting with each other. The level of coupling and coordination gradually changes from good coordination to quality sustainable coordination. The coupling coordinated relationship between the two systems is developing in a positive way. In addition, industrial development, the level of urban development, and environmental development as influencing factors have a clear positive effect on the degree of coupling coordination. This study provides several recommendations for cities to achieve sustainable coordinated development. This paper also may provide a direction and path for future research.

STRATEGIC VECTORS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPORTS AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES: INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL EXPERIENCE

The subject of the study is international and national education on the strategic development of physical education and recreation. Methodology. General scientific methods were used in the research, in particular: theoretical generalization; methods of positive-normative analysis and statistical analysis. The purpose is the process of researching international experience in order to identify best practices for the development of strategic vectors for the development of physical culture and recreation activities in Ukraine. Conclusions of the study. The experience of the leading countries of the world in organizing the management of physical culture and recreation activities has been studied and systematized, and the possibilities of implementing individual mechanisms and tools in the national model at the present stage of its reorganization have been determined. It is noted that currently the basic condition for the development of the system is the search for the most optimal balance of powers between the state, regions and the private sector in managing this area, which includes the advantages of the American model on the one hand (primarily in terms of creating favorable conditions for attracting private capital) and the European model, which provides for a moderate transfer of powers by the state through setting priorities, coordination of business entities and targeted financing of priority areas. It is noted that the defining features that are inherent in the system of management of physical culture and recreation activities in all countries that have achieved high results in this area are, first of all: a developed legal framework and institutions, clear state priorities for the development of sports, diversified sources of funding and tools to stimulate entrepreneurship, as well as high attention to training and development of science and technology in this area. It is proved that the development of sports and recreation should be carried out at different levels: state, regional, territorial communities. The possibilities of development of sports and recreational activities on the example of Odesa region are analyzed. As of early 2020, it was recognized that the level of funding for sports and recreation in Odesa region from the local budget and other sources, such as trade unions, sponsorships, etc. is insufficient. In addition, problems with the development and condition of sports architectural objects and facilities were noted. Problems with the staffing of the sports and recreation sphere in Odesa region are associated with low wages, which caused the outflow of personnel. A particular shortage of sports facilities is observed in rural areas.

스포츠 시설로서의 e스포츠 공간의 기원과 확장 : 고대 그리스의 스타디온에서 PC방까지

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the origin and expansion of e-sports space. In order to fulfill this purpose, the study explored the sport-related facilities from ancient Greek sports facilities to current e-sports spaces.BR Method: The study used the content analysis and analyzed a series of case studies regarding sport facilities and e-sports spaces as part of the qualitative research methodology. In particular, the sports facilities of the ancient Greece were analyzed and compared with modern PC rooms.BR Results: This study found that the network orientation, convergence, interactivity and human placeability were common components comprising both the ancient Greek sport facilities and e-sports spaces. In addition, due to the criticism against non-sports nature of e-sports, the research on the space and facilities where e-sports take place has been largely limited. Therefore, this study interpreted the spaces and facilities in which e-sports are performed as sports facilities to better understand the influence of the origin, development, and characteristics of sports facilities on the development of e-sports spaces.BR Conclusion: Based on the results, this study finds the common components comprising e-sports spaces (e.g., PC Room) and also confirms that e-sports spaces are historically and physically derived from the original sport facilities. Therefore, this study aims to understand the phenomenon of e-sports as sports and its spaces by providing a theoretical foundation.

Beyond “who pays?”: stadium development and urban governance

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to reframe analyses of stadium and arena subsidization policies from perspectives centered upon economic and financial issues toward a perspective focused on broader issues of urban governance and the public purposes of sports facilities. Such assessments would provide a better understanding of whether such use of public resources represents good public policy.Design/methodology/approachTo demonstrate this, the paper uses an integrated literature review to offer a historical analysis of sport facility development within the context of the broader assumptions that shape public policy and how sports have been used toward achieving particular public goals. This history provides a foundation for an analysis of sports facility development within the current moment as cities require team owners to invest in redevelopment activities in the neighborhoods surrounding sports facilities.FindingsThis paper asserts that focusing on the economic and financial aspects of sports facility development is a perspective that is too narrow. Instead, this paper shows that a more holistic approach, beginning with the dominant mode of urban governance and how its assumptions underlie the public purposes for which stadiums and arenas are used, provides a better explanatory framework and a deeper understanding of the issue in the contemporary moment.Originality/valueMoving beyond the question of economic efficacy, the public purpose-centered approach of this paper seeks to place subsidization policies into a broader dialog with other priorities toward maximizing the public good among the broadest population.
