Territorial development indexes for team sports (football)
Journal Title: Geosport for Society - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
The field of territorial planning through specific methods and instruments may provide significant contribution in the spatial organization and management of sports activities. Quantitative elements such as number of inhabitants at neighborhood, village, commune, town, county, region level, number of players, population on age and gender groups, level of economic development, together with specific infrastructure elements (football fields or other types of sports arenas) and with qualitative elements (competitional level, number of players on age groups, junior, senior, amateur and professional teams) etc, all these used in mathematic formulae can generate indexes which would reflect the development level or the practicing or attractiveness degree of a certain sport at territorial unit or locality level. In this study, for the game of football, we propose the territorial development index for football (Tdif) and the football practicing index (Fpi). With the values resulted, hierarchized, ranked and compared, important contribution may be provided for the elaboration of studies and of implementation and spatial development strategies of a sport or sportive activity.
