National Taiwan Normal University Research on the Decisive Factors of the Accessibility to School Sports Facilities of the Elementary Schools in I-lan County Graduate school student: Lin Wen-Yu Instructing professor: Chien Chi-Ming Summary The purpose of this study was to investigate the present condition of the sports facilities of the elementary schools in I-lan county and the situation of their accessibility and, by further analyzing the main causes that influence the accessibility of sports facilities, to provide effective suggestions for all schools to improve their management of their school facilities so as to promote the accessibility of school facilities to the public and meet the need of all citizens in the community for more open spaces to exercise. The research subjects were the sport facilities of 74 elementary schools in I-lan county in the school year 2002. This study used the questionnaire of the school sports facilities to go through the investigation and analyzed the gathered information by means of descriptive statistics and Single Factor ANOVA. The following are the conclusions of this research: I. The installation and management of sports facilities at elementary schools in I-lan county: there is higher frequency in the installation of outdoor sports fields, playing grounds, and track and field areas at schools than other facilities. Playing grounds, outdoor multi-purpose sports courses, track and field areas, gymnasiums, roof groundsc are more inclined to be managed by a handler while other facilities may not have one. II. Accessibility of facilities to the communities: more than 70 % of the outdoor multi-purpose sports courses, playing grounds, and track and field areas are accessible while a remarkably smaller percentage of other facilities are open to citizens. A larger percentage of gymnasiums charge for usage while others do so less frequently. Most of them do not charge at all. III. The factors which influence the accessibility of school facilities to the communities, in order of importance, are: safety, systems, human resources, budget, facility resources, management, and managers. IV. Among the seven factors, safety, budget, human resources, management, facility resources, and managers do not show remarkable differences at different schools (p>.05). Only systems reveal great differences. Keywords: sports facilities, sports management, the management of human resources, national sport(s)
