The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the exaggeration of activities performed in public sport. This research is a descriptive, field research. The statistical population of this study included all experts in public sport. These included managers and staff of the Federation of Public Sports, who have comprehensive information in the field of policymaking, as well as professors of sport management aware of the field of public sport. Based on snowball selection to theoretical saturation level, 54 individuals (12 from the Federation of Public Sports as well as 42 from sport management professors aware of public sports) were selected as the sample of the study. To analyze the data of the present study, the statistical methods of Kolmogorov Smirnov and one-sample t-test using SPSS software and interpretive structural modeling method using MicMac software were used. The results showed that lack of financial resources in public sport, the appointment of managers outside the context of their experiences in public sport, the ambiguity about the functions and role of public sport executives in the country, and the lack of managerial stability in sports organizations are key independent factors. According to the interpretive structural modeling method, these factors in turn influence other factors that exaggerate the activities performed in public sport.

The aim of this study was the develop a model of socialization of citizens through participation in sport for all. a qualitative method and a systematic Grounded theory were applied on this study. the statistical population consists of outstanding professors of sport management and sociology, managers and deputies of Sport and Youth Department, and knowledgeable experts. 15 individuals were selected with snowball sampling method. Data collection tool and method were semi-structured individual interviews, and interviews were continued until the 15th person to ensure theoretical saturation. In order to analyze the data, a systematic approach was used including three main steps: open coding, axial coding and selective coding. During the open coding process, 436 initial codes were counted regardless of overlap, and in the next step, 78 common concepts based on overlaps and similarities formed 27 categories. Eventually, in the axial and selective coding steps, the final model of the research was drawn with the focus on the central category of socialization of citizens through participation in sport for all. Examining the situation, position and providing indicators of socialization of citizens through participation in sport for all can provide policy makers, managers and officials to recognize the problems in this regard and provide appropriate solutions to reduce the gap between the current and favorable situation for socialization of citizens. In this way, causal conditions, contextual conditions, intervening conditions, action/ interaction strategies, as well as the outcomes have been explained separately.

The study is to develop a model for sport for all development based on social marketing approach. So, the methodology of “Grounded Theory” was used. The statistical population was the senior managers, authorities and experts that based on theoretical sampling, 14 interviews and 11 documents were selected. At the same time, the data was analyzed by the three stages of open, axial and selective coding.
Based on the results of the analysis, the model of developing sport for all based on the social marketing approach was developed. The social marketing strategy for the development of sport for all consists of five main stages of policy making, stakeholder analysis, marketing mix design, social marketing plan design, and implementation and evaluation. Also, factors such as demographic characteristics, cultural and social conditions, sports characteristics and physical environment also affect these strategies. “SPORT FOR ALL, INTEREST FOR ALL” was chosen as a core idea. With the development of sport for all in the country, it would be possible to expect economic and social benefits and profits, promoting the level of public health and setting champion sport up.

The statistical population was consisted of all citizens of Birjand which 384 people were selected through the Morgan table using available sampling method as the statistical sample. A standard questionnaire (ghafori 2003) was used for collecting data on public participation and championship.

The results showed that the media outlets, the structure of sports organizations, social demand, non-sports organizations, globalization and communication respectively had the most impact on the tendency of Birjand citizens to sport.
Therefore, it is necessary for sports managers, along with other managers, to form a common think tank in order to better identify the sports needs of citizens in the community. In addition, it is necessary to use sport for all and championship sport as two important axes in their sports planning.

The objective of this study was to identify and rate the most important structural factors influencing popularity of recreational sports in Iran. This study was performed consecutively using the exploratory mixed method in a quantitative and a qualitative phase. In the first stage, the targeted sampling method and the snowball sampling method were used to select 28 experts at recreation sports in Iran. Information on these experts was gathered through depth interviews. Next, data from twenty eight interviews was encoded and analyzed in three steps based on the Grounded Theory. As a result of grouping the data, seven effective structural factors were identified. In the second stage, a questionnaire was designed on the basis of previous findings and the research literature. After examining and confirming the psychometric features of the questionnaire, it was distributed among 301 experts, managers and researchers active in the field of public sports in Iran. The respondents were selected using the stratified sampling method and questionnaires were collected following completion. Afterwards, a hierarchical regression analysis was performed considering the predictor path coefficients so as to determine structural effective factors in the order of significance. These factors included the following: organizational media, financial resources, rules and regulations, human resources, equipment and infrastructure, technology and partner organizations. Research results reflected the importance of organizational media, financial resources, and rules and regulations in providing a structure suitable enough for popularity of sports in Iran.
