Evidence in Iran shows that the management of sports facilities and venues is far from international standards. Meanwhile, the Health, Safety and Environment Management System (HSE) is one of the most complete and effective management systems that can help meet this challenge. Based on this, the present study evaluates the sustainable performance of Azadi Sports Complex in Tehran with the HSE approach. This research is of descriptive-analytical type and has been conducted in the field-library. The time frame of this research is 1399 and its location is the sports venues of Azadi Sports Complex in Tehran, which are classified into two categories: places under the management of the complex and places under the management of sports federations. In this study, the data envelopment analysis approach was used to evaluate the sustainable performance of the mentioned places. The results showed that the relative efficiency of DMU1 (places under collection management) is equal to 0.44 and the relative efficiency of DMU2 (places under the supervision of sports federations) is equal to 1.0, which indicates the decision unit DMU2's decision making is relatively better than DMU1 decision making unit. Perhaps because the scope of supervision of places under the control of sports federations is more and they receive their budget directly from the company for the development and maintenance of sports venues in the country

The research is to identify the factors affecting the sustainable development of sport events in Iran using thematic analysis. So, a qualitative research among the research community that included key players in sport and the environment was formed through Purposeful sampling and a deep interview was conducted with 18 experts from the country's sports and environmental management. Based on the research method, a collection of initial codes and concepts was extracted. Then, through thematic analysis of these codes and concepts, the causal, subjective and interventive final themes and categories were formed. The findings were divided into three categories of causative factors including environmental authenticity and existing environmental status, the requirements and interaction of sport and the environment and the nature of the development of sports events. The underlying factors included the green infrastructure and the host environment, the requirements and system of the environmental system of sport, the governing body, the share of sport in the development of the country, the cultural and organizational attachment, the management plan and Finally, interventional factors include the nature of the event and the environment, environmental and financial factors, internal and external resources, monitoring, law enforcement and lobbying, and the structure of the country's sports industry. By examining the results and benefiting from identified factors, we can take more effective steps through strategic planning and implementation of appropriate strategies for sustainable environmental development of sport events and ultimately for sustainable development of the country's sports industry.

The study is to identify the causal factors affecting the realization of the good governance approach in Iranian sports. This study has a qualitative approach and we used the grounded theory -Strauss and Corbin's approach (2008)-, as a research method. For gathering data, we studied high level documents and open interviews with 25 experts in the three fields of government, civil society and the private sector of the sports industry. The results of the research were reviewed by experts and its validity was confirmed. The reliability of the research was %77 which was also obtained by using the inter-rater reliability method. Data analysis was based on three open, axial and selective coding methods.
The results showed that eight main factors are: "developmental governance", "efficient administrative structure", "institutional knowledge", "rule of law", "ethics", "excellence in sports institutions", "resilient economy" and "institutional interaction". They are effective in achieving good governance and developing the country's sports.
