Abstract
Abstract:
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to identify the Effective Economic Factors in Acceptance and application of new energy-reducing technologies in Iranian sports facilities.
Methodology: This is a qualitative study based on Glaser's grounded theory. The statistical population of the present study included managers of sports complexes, experts in new technologies, and sports management professors as the statistical population. Access to research samples was done by purposeful sampling method and then continued by snowball method. Finally, after conducting interviews with 14 people, theoretical saturation was obtained.
Findings: After collecting and analyzing the interviews, 42 open codes were obtained, which were divided into 18 pivotal categories. Finally, from the obtained categories, 6 pivotal codes were selected: economic stability of the country (comprising key categories such as economic situation and the correct economic model), the price of energy carriers (pivotal categories of fossil energy price, renewable energy price, and energy price competition), government economic support (pivotal categories of government investment, incentives, and tax/customs exemptions), economic justification (pivotal categories of income generation, energy marketing, and consumption costs and return on investment), privatization (pivotal categories of private sector support and sponsors), and providing financial resources (centered around core categories of financial resources and budget) were obtained.
Conclusion: The results of this research can be serve as a guide for statesmen and policymakers to mitigate the environmental impact of sports and decrease energy consumption in sports venues, aligning with the country's sustainable development goals. Additionally, this study provides a foundation for future research endeavors aimed at constructing environmentally friendly sports facilities and enhancing the environmental performance of sports and other organizations.
