“…This raises questions about what society wants from sports clubs in terms of their role: either as democratic communities or as promoters of healthy lifestyles. Although these roles do not necessarily cancel each other out, some articles suggest that sports club members who participate in more flexible and exercise-oriented activities were found to be less active in democracy, social life and voluntary work than members who participate in other forms of sports activities (Østerlund 2013;van der Roest 2016).…”

Non-profit associations are usually democratically organized, and this feature plays a legitimizing role for the public support to associations. This article examines which characteristics at country level, organizational level and individual level can explain variations with regard to member engagement in the association democracy in sports clubs in Europe. The statistical analyses use data on 12,755 members from 642 sports clubs in ten European countries. The findings show that the majority of the members in sports clubs participate in the association democracy, but the level and form of engagement varies considerably.At the country level, no link between the democratic strength and quality of the countries on the one hand and member engagement on the other could be identified. Instead, characteristics at the organizational and individual level were found to be relevant. More concretely, (i) the size of the sports club, (ii) the socioeconomic background of the members (gender, age and education), and (iii) the way in which the members are involved in and affiliated to the club (engaged in voluntary work, participating in social activities, etc.) were found to be significantly correlated with the engagement of members in the association democracy.

“…In contrast to our findings, Karatoprak (2019) discovered that men's consumption of sports organizations is higher than women's consumption. According to Van der Roest (2016) and Lera-López and Rapn-Gárate (2007), there is no substantial difference between men and women when it comes to the overall consumption scale of sports organizations.…”

“…Sports Organizations Consumption Scale: The 'Sports Organizations Consumption Scale,' developed by Van der Roest (2016) and adapted to Turkish by Dever and Korur (2018), was used to measure the thoughts of sports fans who actively participate in sports about the consumption of sports organizations. There are five sub-dimensions and 25 questions on the scale.…”

This research aims to analyze how students who acquire sports education feel about their teams and how they consume sports organizations in terms of many aspects. The Sports Organizations Consumption Scale (SOTS), which has 25 questions and 5 factors, and the Team Loyalty Scale, which has 10 items and 2 factors, were used as evaluation tools. Using the SPSS 25.0 package program, parametric analyses were performed on the acquired data. Then, a “Pearson correlation analysis was used to establish the level and direction of the association between the dependent variables. The students’ team loyalty levels and their consumption of sports organizations have been found to have a positive and moderate level relationship (r= 0.44; p.000). In terms of gender, class, and being a national athlete, there was a significant difference in the perspectives of students who had athletic training (p0.05).

“…Furthermore, there is a growing trend towards individualized sports, with fewer people participating in team-based activities. Sport is no longer confined to specialized sports complexes on the outskirts of the city, and anonymous sports facilities are becoming less common [7][8][9]72]. As well as Municipalities aim to design cities that motivate individuals to engage in higher levels of physical activity [10][11][12].…”

In recent years, the concept of developing sports cities has gained popularity and become a notable trend. Urban public spaces have played an important role as suitable venues for informal sporting activities in cities. Policymakers and scholars have come to realize that an aesthetically pleasing and well-designed public space can encourage and increase participation in sports. This systematic review aims to identify the factors that influence the shaping of public spaces for sports cities accessible to all. Ten electronic databases were searched to identify relevant studies published between 2010 and 2022. The data were independently assessed and extracted by two reviewers. Full-text copies of 68 articles were read, and 24 articles meeting the inclusion criteria were included in this review. A synthesized descriptive analysis of the data was then performed. The results of this review identified factors that influence the shaping of urban public spaces for sports cities, including spatial sports facilities, organizational and programmatic factors, and environmental factors. Some factors can facilitate sports and physical activity, while others may act as barriers and have a negative impact on participants. This study recommends summarizing the policy and practice implications of these results for promoting sports cities to address these barriers and make sporting activities more accessible to all.
