Description

The goal of sports community governance is to "make the city a space for people to live with high quality of life". In previous studies, more research findings have discussed how sports communities are governed, but the reality of communities is that the question is who should govern sports communities. Therefore, the study elucidates the temporal and spatial scope of sports communities from the perspective of urban development. Four models of government-managed sports community governance negotiated governance in which communities self-mediate "conflicts" between different groups, outsourced governance in which community service governance is enhanced, and self-governance by residents of residential communities are summarized and sorted out. Because Beijing hosted the 2008 Olympic Games and the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, we interviewed Beijing residents. Therefore, our study interviewed 34 local residents in the Beijing community to understand the role of sports in improving the quality of life of community residents.
