چکیده
هدف پژوهش حاضر، بررسی اثر تعاملی ساختار پارک‌ها و وضعیت محل زندگی بر فعالیت بدنی شهروندان اهوازی بود. روش پژوهش ازنوع پیمایشی و به‌لحاظ هدف، کاربردی بود. 370 نفر از افراد مراجعه‌کننده به پارک‌های سطح شهر اهواز برای انجام فعالیت بدنی نمونة آماری پژوهش را تشکیل دادند که به روش تصادفی انتخاب شدند. ابزار جمع‌آوری داده‌ها، پرسش‌نامة پژوهشگرساخته بود که در دو بخش وضعیت محل زندگی (14 سؤال) و ساختار پارک‌ها (17 سؤال) تنظیم شد. این پرسش‌نامه پس از تأیید روایی محتوا و سازة آن ازطریق تحلیلعاملی، دراختیار جامعةآماریقرارگرفت. داده‌های پژوهش با استفاده از مدل معادلات ساختاری در محیط نرم‌افزار پی.ال.اس. تجزیه‌وتحلیل شدند. نتایج پژوهش نشان داد که وضعیت محل زندگی و ساختار پارک‌ها بر فعالیت بدنی شهروندان اهوازی تأثیر مثبت و معناداری داشتند و نیز ساختار پارک‌ها، اثری تعدیل‌کننده بر فعالیت بدنی افراد گذاشتند. براساس یافته‌های پژوهش، در شرایطی که امکان تغییر محل زندگی افراد و شاخص‌های مرتبط با آن مانند هم‌جواری وجود نداشته باشد، با تجهیز و افزایش کیفیت امکانات ورزشی و رفاهی پارک‌ها می‌توان اثرهای منفی و مشکلات ناشی از محل زندگی افراد را که موانعی در استفاده از پارک‌ها به‌شمار می‌روند، مرتفع کرد و زمینة گرایش هرچه‌بیشتر شهروندان به انجام فعالیت‌های بدنی را فراهم آورد.

چکیده [English]
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of parks structure and status of living environment on physical activity among citizenship of Ahvaz. The research method is a survey and its target is applicable. The sample consisted of 370 persons referred to in Ahvaz parks for physical activity by random sampling. Data was collected by a researcher-made questionnaire in two parts, status of living environment (14 question) and parks structure (17 question) was adjusted, that face and content validity was measured by comments the number of university sport experts and to determine the structure validity, we used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). After determining of reliability, the questionnaire was distributed. Research data by using structural equation modeling with Smart PLS software analyzed. The research results showed that parks structure and status of living environment have direct and significant effect on citizens of physical activity, and also parks structure has a moderating effect on physical activity. Based on the findings in the case of the possibility of changing the living environment and their related indicators such as proximity does not exist, by equipment and enhance the quality of sports facilities and recreational parks, can be largely reduced barriers to the use of the park and tends to encourage people to doing physical activity.
