The aim of the present study was to meta-analyze the barriers affecting sports tourism in Iran. In this regard, it is an applied research and, due to the use of the meta-analysis method and the nature of the data, it is classified as a quantitative research. The statistical population of the study consisted of all studies conducted in Iran in the field of sports tourism from 2015 to 2025 in the field in question. The main qualitative sampling method used in this meta-analysis was the purposive sampling method. The final sample size of the study, consisting of 12 studies, met the criteria for meta-analysis and were included in the meta-analysis process. In order to examine and analyze the primary studies, the effect size, by separating each intervention, the combined effect size with two fixed and random effects models, funnel plot, sensitivity analysis, homogeneity test, and I-root were used. Considering that the primary studies were of difference research method, the correlation coefficient was used as the r index. Also, CMA version 3 software was used to calculate the effect sizes. The results using the random effects model showed that the combined effect size with the random model of barriers affecting the development of sports tourism was obtained with an effect size of 0.507 and a significance of (0.001), which indicates a high effect size according to Cohen. The results of this study help planners and policymakers to make smarter decisions for the development of sports tourism.

The research is to study the role of tourism in the development of peaceful relations based on the interpretive structural model (ISM). The present study is applied research that was conducted in the field. The method of the study was mixed in terms of data collection method, which was implemented qualitatively and quantitatively. The statistical population in the qualitative sector included elites and experts in the field of tourism-sports. The sampling method in the qualitative part was purposeful. The statistical population in the quotative part was in addition to these people, some managers and experts of organizations in charge of tourism and sport and people aware of sports tourism including the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization, the Ministry of Sports and Youth and some university professors in the field of tourism. The research tools included semi-structured interviews and a researcher-made questionnaire. Interpretive structural modeling and structural equations were used to analyze the data. The whole process of data analysis was performed in SPSS and PLS software.
The results of the qualitative section showed that 28 factors identified were classified into 6 factors including altruistic culture, adequate security and safety, managerial procedures, human aspects, international contexts and joint activities. Also the adequate security and safety as an underlying factor in the model of research leads to the formation of other factors. The diversity of identified factors indicated that there were major weaknesses in this area at present that had overshadowed the path to improving the role of sports tourism in developing peaceful relations.

The statistical population consisted of all available studies on the development of sports tourism. Due to the nature of the research, the sampling method was purposive and a total of 21 studies were selected. In order to analyze the initial research, the effect size was used separately for each study, and the effect size was combined with two models of fixed and random effects. The effect size index was r index, which was calculated using CMA software version 2.The results showed that the most impact among the factors affecting the development of sports tourism with an effect size of 0/786 belongs to the service factor, followed by the factors of attractions related to mountaineering and Nodi Cave and management were in the second to third ranks.
