The study is to design a model of sports ecosystem development in the north (Provinces of Gilan, Mazandaran and Golestan) of the Iran based on the harmonization of public sports and championship and inter-provincial convergence. The research method was qualitative with a systematic (thematic) exploratory approach. The statistical population consisted of two sections of experts (professors, administrators, etc.) and information resources (articles, documents, etc.). The statistical sample was sampled in a sufficient number (theoretical saturation) by judgmental method (19 people and 58 documents). The research tools included systematic library studies and structured exploratory interviews. The validity of the research was evaluated and confirmed based on the legal and scientific validity of the sample, the content validity of the tools and the agreement between the proofreaders. Conceptual coding and system analysis were used to analyze the findings. The extracted conceptual framework consisted of 4 levels, 9 perspectives, 36 dimensions and 115 key components. The four conceptual levels of the model include; The environmental capacity of Northern sport development is the systemic leadership of northern sport development, the convergence of public and championship sport development, and the convergent development functions of northern sport.
Based on the results, it is suggested to the organizations in charge of sports development in the northern provinces of the country, considering the common and similar ecosystem of the three provinces, to prioritize the convergence strategy between the province and the region in the development of public and championship sports and to use the results of this research.

Understanding issues and problems of sport requires a scientific, experimental and developmental viewpoint. The study is to explore the effective factors in the development of chess in Iran with international approach. The used research method was survey and exploratory and the required information was obtained using documentary studies and interviews with experts. The statistical population of the study contained university professors with specialization in chess in different levels and national and international levels. The sampling method was theoretical and the interview protocol tool was used to reach the theoretical saturation with experts (17 interviews with 14 people). Also, the reliability of the interviews was obtained by re-test method (0/83). In total, the data were identified and categorized using open, pivot and selective coding, which includes 22 open codes, 7 pivot codes and 4 selective codes. In general, there were 4 main concepts of development of chess in Iran with international approach including implementing a desirable model of development, globalization, technology and sport diplomacy which attention to the above factors would lead to the development of chess in international level.
