Abstract

Objective: Exercise as an important scientific and educational category in strengthening the physical and mental strength of individuals. Access to sports clubs is directly related to a person's willingness to participate in physical activity. This study measures spatial justice in spatial distribution of sports services in Isfahan neighborhoods.
Methods: The purpose of the study is practical and is descriptive-analytical in nature and method. The data were obtained by library method and by referring to resources and organizations. To analyze the data, the methods of analysis of the average nearest neighbor, the local Moran index, the global Moran index, the hot spot analysis, the Thiessen polygons and the two-variable Moran index were used.
Results:The research findings show that the pattern of distribution of sports services is dispersed. Assessing the effectiveness of the spatial distribution pattern of these services on the utility of the radius of performance is the undesirable situation of areas and neighborhoods around the city in terms of sports services. Measuring the relationship between the distribution of sports services and the population of neighborhoods confirms the very weak relationship between these two variables, which indicates the lack of attention to the population factor and the needs of citizens in the distribution of sports services.
Conclusion: The results of the research indicate social inequality and injustice in the distribution of sports services in the neighborhoods of Isfahan.
