The research is to identify the effective factors in the development of an active city through the approach of promoting citizen sport. The methodology used in the research was a systematic exploratory qualitative study based on a thematic analysis approach. The statistical population included managers and expert of public sports, managers and expert employees of metropolitan municipalities, managers of municipal sports complexes, people who are experts and knowledgeable about citizen sports, and university sports management professors who were interviewed. The sampling of qualitative parts was done using the judgment method, for a total of 21 people. The interview tool was based on the opinion of experts and the agreement of the editors. It used the library study and interview tools.
The results showed that the effective indicators in the development of an active city through the approach of promoting citizen sports included three parts: process, performance, and outcome indicators. The findings indicated that the managers of the municipalities and the Federation of Public Sport should pay more attention to the holding of hiking and cycling conferences than before and programs (giving prizes to individuals and holding free programs) in order to encourage them. People should plan these activities and also pay special attention to the creation of dedicated paths (cycling, walking, and running), women's parks, and infrastructure necessary for public sport in parks and stations and health skills to encourage people to exercise citizenship and physical activity in order to create an active city.
