지방 소멸 대응 관점에서 지역 스포츠 환경이 주민의 지속거주의사와 이주의사에 미치는 영향: 연령 집단의 조절 효과

This study aimed to investigate the effects of the local sports environment on residents' intention to stay and intention to leave from the perspective of responding to local extinction. Specifically, the local sports environment was categorized into three dimensions-facilities, events, and policies-to identify their respective effects on residents’ intentions to stay and to leave. In addition, the differential effects of the local sports environment were analyzed across age groups(30s and under / 40s and over). The analysis revealed that, for the overall sample, sports facilities had a negative effect on the intention to stay and no significant effect on the intention to leave. Sports events positively affected the intention to stay and negatively affected the intention to leave, while sports policies positively influenced the intention to stay. These effects differed by age group: For the group aged 30s and under, events and policies had a positive effect only on intention to stay. In contrast, for the group aged 40s and over, events had a significant effect on both intention to stay and intention to leave. however, facilities had a negative effect on intention to stay, and policies unexpectedly had a positive effect on intention to leave. The findings of this study suggest that in designing local sports policies to counter local extinction, it is important to prioritize qualitative management over quantitative expansion of facilities, expand resident-participatory sports events, and promote transparent policy implementation based on resident needs. Furthermore, the results highlight the necessity for local governments to develop age group–specific sports policies tailored to the distinct characteristics and needs of different resident groups.
