The purpose of the master's thesis titled Development of a Sports Strategy in the Municipality of Logatec was to analyze the current situation in the field of sports in the Municipality of Logatec and propose a comprehensive strategy for its further development. In the thesis, we addressed key factors affecting sports infrastructure, programs, financial support, human resources, and resident participation in sports activities.
The research was based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including the analysis of existing documents, questionnaires, interviews with key stakeholders, and a SWOT analysis. Our findings revealed that the Municipality of Logatec has made significant strides in improving sports infrastructure in recent years, but there were still numerous opportunities for progress, particularly in the areas of sports infrastructure and accessibility to sports programs.
Based on the collected data and examples of best practices from other municipalities, we developed a strategic plan that included improving sports infrastructure through the construction of new and the renovation of existing sports facilities, with a focus on multipurpose halls and open sports areas. Increasing financial support involved developing public-private partnership models for financing sports projects and increasing budget allocations for sports. Encouraging participation was based on organizing promotional campaigns and programs for different age groups to increase involvement in sports activities. We enhanced the education and training of sports personnel through continuous training, which contributed to a higher number of qualified coaches and other sports workers. Collaboration with the local community played an important role, with the goal of strengthening cooperation with local sports clubs, schools, and businesses for better integration of sports into the daily lives of residents.
The proposed strategy aimed not only to improve the quality and accessibility of sports activities in the Municipality of Logatec but also to promote a healthy lifestyle and social cohesion among residents. The implementation of the strategy required coordinated cooperation among all relevant stakeholders and constant adaptation to changing needs and conditions.
We concluded the thesis with a set of specific measures and a timeline for implementing the proposed strategy, along with recommendations for further research and monitoring the effects of the implemented measure.
