Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify and prioritize the obstacles to the transfer of sports facilities with emphasis on paragraph c of Article 44 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The research was applied in terms of nature and purpose and qualitatively quantitative in terms of analysis and type. The statistical population of this study consisted of experts related to the transfer of sports facilities in the Ministry of Sports and Youth, Privatization Organization, Sports Facilities Development and Maintenance Company, professors and researchers. In the first stage, theoretical saturation was achieved by conducting 15 interviews. The researcher-made questionnaire with 24 design items and its reliability was confirmed with Cronbach's alpha of 0.980. The face and content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by 11 professors. Then the questionnaire was divided among 80 people. To analyze the data, descriptive and inferential statistical methods, second-order confirmatory factor analysis and Friedman test were used with the help of Spss 25 and PLS3 software. The results showed that economic, financial, cultural, social, organizational, legal, legal and ideological barriers are in the first to fifth priorities, respectively. The subcomponents of each obstacle were also ranked.
