Abstract

This study aimed to identify and compare the barriers to donors’ participation in construction and development of sporting venues in Kerman. It was a survey research and the statistical population included 180 donors in Kerman. One hundred eighteen donors were studied via availability sampling and 100 complete questionnaires were evaluated in the final analysis. Morgan table was employed for determining sample size. Face and content validity of the questionnaires were obtained by interviewing university experts and some of donors. To determine the structure validity, we used exploratory factor analysis. Internal reliability was studied and confirmed through Cronbach’s alpha (α = 0.91).  Descriptive and inferential statistics (exploratory factor analysis, one-sample t test, and repeated measures) and SPSS software were used for data analysis. Results showed that all of the studied factors were involved in preventing donors’ participation, and in order of importance were as follows: legal-administrative barriers, ideological and socio-cultural barriers, and barriers related to sports itself. Eliminating these barriers is essential for paving the way for the participation of donors and benefactors in development of sports.
