Abstract
The aim of this study was to identifying and analyzing the factors affecting the reduction of delays in sports Construction projects, which was conducted qualitatively and phenomenologically. The study population was experts aware of the research in the Ministry of Sports and Youth, Sports Facilities Development and Equipping Company and sports management professors, 13 of whom were selected as a sample using the snowball method. In order to have a deep and comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting the reduction of delays in sports development projects, the semi-structured interview method was used. To ensure the validity of research, measures include; Participatory research, adaptation by members, and to confirm the reliability of the research, the researcher himself recoded, the percentage of agreement within the topic, and the use of qualitative analysis software using Nvivo 10 software. According to the research results and based on the initial and axial coding, 53 factors in 10 groups; financial, engineering, estimation, infrastructure, human, legal, support, supervising, natural and managerial were identified as effective factors in reducing delays in sports development projects. Among these factors, managerial, engineering, supervising and financial factors were more important. Therefore, by view of these important factors, the officials in this field can provide the reducing delays in construction projects and developing sports and its benefits at the community.
