The study is to analyze the factors affecting the development of recreational sports in Iranian women using the Dematel technique. The method of the study was a mixed method (qualitative and quantitative). The statistical population consisted of all experts who had scientific and practical expertise in the field of recreational sports and women's sports. The number of samples was continued until the theoretical saturation (n=17). For the interview and in the quantitative part, using the opinions of 12 experts, the relationship between the identified variables was investigated using the Dematel technique. First, using library resources and using qualitative interviews and distribution of semi-open questionnaires, a list of factors affecting the development of recreational sports in Iranian women was prepared. Then, the identified factors were classified into three levels: macro, medium and micro using the model proposed by Debuchter et al. (2006). The designed questionnaire included 11 factors of macro management, political issues, economic issues, socio-cultural issues, management and leadership, financial management, infrastructure and facilities, media and advertising, scientific-educational, intrapersonal factors and extra personal factors that using Internal relations and the effect of model variables were determined by Dematel technique and finally important and influential factors were identified.
According to the results, among the factors that play an important and influential role in the development of Iranian women's recreational sports are management and leadership, macro-management, socio-cultural issues and media and advertising. Therefore, senior and middle managers should work to remove obstacles to the worthy presence of women by designing and formulating a program for the development and excellence of women's sports. In this regard, they can use the power of media and propaganda to create a culture of women's recreational sports.
