Analysis of the role of government in developing the use of green energy in sport facilities(En exploratory mixed research by meta-synthesis method)

This research is aimed at analyzing the role of government in developing the use of green energy in sport facilities. The research is of exploratory mixed type. In qualitative part, meta-synthesis method was used for recognizing the dimensions of the government’s role on development of the use of renewable energy. In quantitative part, first the validity of the model was approved based on the experts’ survey and then, fitness of the model was checked by confirmatory factor analysis. In meta-synthesis phase, the studied population included the relevant theses and research papers (35 cases); in experts’ survey, the population included 7 experts of renewable energy area, and in factor analysis phase, the population included the mangers and experts of Renewable Energy Organization, managers of the companies working in the area of renewable energies, managers and experts of the Organization of Developing and Equipping Sport Facilities and subsidiary departments, and the experts of renewable energy area (676 people). In the first and second phases, sampling method was total population, and in factor analysis phase, the sampling was done by stratified method and 240 people were selected based on Morgan table. Meta-synthesis findings showed that government affects the development of the use of green energy in sport facilities through the political system, energy policies and strategies, its economic situation, governmental support, and the structure of the energy sector. Validity of the model was obtained as 0.893 by sigma counting method.
