Abstract

Background: Sport can impact the protection of the environment and energy. Sports activities could gather people in one place, which may negatively affect the environment, such as noise pollution, antisocial behaviors, waste, air pollution, and sharp lighting. Objectives: This paper aims to investigate the role of sport in sustainable environmental development. This applied-developmental study utilized an exploratory qualitative method to collect data. Methods: The statistical population included all top managers of sports organizations (including the National Olympic Committee, Ministry of Sports, and all sports federations), specialists and experts in sport management in Iran, and some managers of the Iranian Department of Environment. Thirteen experts were selected using the purposive sampling method and snowballing technique. The semi-structured interview was used as a data collection tool. Data analysis was done with grounded theory through open, axial, and selective coding. Results: The results indicated that the pattern of sustainable environmental development based on the sport consists of 211 concepts and 26 subcategories. Categories 4, 4, 5, 8, and 4 were related to the causal factors, the fields, and domains, mediating variables, strategies, and consequences, respectively, and one category was also considered an axial phenomenon. Adequacy measure of the research process and quality of data and interpretations was approved based on credibility, transferability, dependability, confirmability, honesty, and data-derived theory criteria, including conformity, comprehensiveness, generality, and controllability. Conclusions: According to the results from the model, the sustainable environmental development based on the sport is affected by foresight, environmental values of sport, environmental requirements of the sport, green sports movement, educational and research factors, communication and promotional elements, economics, structural factors, and organizational factors, which can lead to green productivity in sports and the quality of life and well-being of citizens.

调查体育在可持续环境发展中的作用:一个案例研究
背景:运动可以影响环境和能源的保护。体育活动可能会把人聚集在一个地方,这可能会对环境产生负面影响,比如噪音污染、反社会行为、浪费、空气污染和强烈的照明。目的:探讨体育在环境可持续发展中的作用。本应用发展研究采用探索性定性方法收集数据。方法:统计人群包括伊朗所有体育组织(包括国家奥委会、体育部和所有体育联合会)的高层管理人员,伊朗体育管理专家和专家,以及伊朗环境部的部分管理人员。采用目的抽样法和滚雪球法,选择了13名专家。采用半结构化访谈作为数据收集工具。数据分析是通过开放,轴向和选择性编码的接地理论完成的。结果:基于体育的环境可持续发展模式包含211个概念和26个子类。类别4、4、5、8和4分别与因果因素、领域和领域、中介变量、策略和后果有关,其中一个类别也被认为是轴向现象。研究过程的充分性度量以及数据和解释的质量是基于可信度、可转移性、可靠性、可确认性、诚实性和数据衍生的理论标准,包括一致性、全面性、通用性和可控性。结论:模型结果表明,基于体育的环境可持续发展受到前瞻性、体育环境价值、体育环境要求、绿色体育运动、教育与研究因素、传播与推广因素、经济因素、结构因素和组织因素的影响,从而导致体育的绿色生产力和公民的生活质量和福祉。
