Abstract :

The present study has analyzed the spatiality of sports venues and evaluated the access to sports centers according to the pattern of their spatial distribution in the level of communication networks in Khorasan Razavi province. This research is of applied type and descriptive-analytical method. After determining the per capita sports uses in the province, using the Williamson model, the per capita distribution of these centers in the regions was measured according to population density. In the second part, using the Moran model, the spatial distribution pattern of sports uses (outdoor, indoor and total sports uses) was measured according to the area of these uses. The results showed that the per capita sports facilities in the province is equal to 0.34 square meters, which is less than the minimum per capita set for Iran. On the other hand, the total per capita sports space per household is about 1.05 square meters. also; The per capita outdoor sports space is more than the per capita indoor space (0.92 vs. 0.13 square meters per person). Meanwhile, Zone 1, which is in the northeast of the province, has a greater distribution of sports spaces and places, which, of course, has a greater distribution in terms of population. However, with increasing population density, the per capita total sports space (outdoor and indoor) increases with the slope of the line R2 = 0.5985. Also, according to the results of the nearest neighbor average model, it was found that the spatial pattern of distribution of sports centers in Khorasan Razavi province is 99% random. Therefore; solving these problems requires planning and management in the field of locating and organizing sports spaces.
