The purpose of the study is to investigate how sports associations work with environmental and sustainable development in their work to reduce climate impact. To fulfill the purpose, these questions were used in the study; How do responsible leaders in sports associations work and think about environmental and sustainable development? What is the awareness of the environmental impact in the current situation within the sports association? What does the future hold regarding environmental and sustainable development within the sports association? The study uses a qualitative research method of interviews with the support of an interview guide and the theoretical perspective "institutionalization". In summary, the results of this study show that the sports associations have made changes to society's environment and sustainability, regardless of whether they have been aware or not. It appears that the respondents from the sports associations have not had enough resources or finances to develop towards a more sustainable and climate-smart work. The results show that the concept of environment and sustainability is important in order to be able to maintain the earth's resources for our next generation through commitment, cooperation and education.

SportDrenthe heeft twee sportseizoenen lang een proeftuin uitgevoerd waarbij de inzet was om 150 jongeren te bereiken die nu niet of minder maatschappelijk actief en/of betrokken zijn en waarbij de sportvereniging (of andere sportaanbieder) hen de nodige leerervaringen en sociale context kan bieden. Daarbij gaat het bijvoorbeeld om jongeren met een tussenjaar, (meerderjarige) jongeren zonder startkwalificatie en zonder baan, jongeren met een arbeidsbeperking, jongeren in armoede, jonge statushouders, vroegtijdige schoolverlaters en andere kwetsbare en/of moeilijk toegankelijke jongeren met een afstand tot deelname in een reguliere sociale (werk)context. In deze monitoring worden de opbrengsten van de proeftuin in beeld gebracht waarbij de volgende vraag centraal staat: Wat zijn de opbrengsten van de MDT proeftuin in Drenthe voor de jongeren en de betrokken stakeholders?

Neprofitne organizacije osnivaju se sa ciljem društvene koristi čija svrha može biti cijeli spektar djelovanja, no jedna im je stvar zajednička, a to je da im profit nije svrha poslovanja. Sportske neprofitne organizacije predstavljaju spoj društveno korisnih aktivnosti i općenitog zdravlje pojedine nacije kroz aspekt aktivnog življenja, što su prepoznale i razne institucije EU i RH. Iz računovodstvenog aspekta možemo reći kako svaka neprofitna organizacije prilagođava svoje neprofitno računovodstvo svojim računovodstvenim specifičnostima, uz već zadani pravni okvir u sklopu kojega su neprofitne organizacije obveznice izrade financijskih izvještaja. Kroz sam rad nižu se na deseci primjera kako bi se što „realnije“ prikazali spoj teorije i praktičnih primjera. Non-profit organizations are established with the aim of social benefit, the purpose of which can be the whole spectrum of activities, but one thing they have in common is that profit is not the purpose of their business. Sports non-profit organizations represent a combination of socially useful activities and the general health of an individual nation through the aspect of active living, which has been recognized by various EU and Croatian institutions. From the accounting aspect, we can say that each non-profit organization adjusts its nonprofit accounting to its accounting specifics, with the already established legal framework within which non-profit organizations are obliged to prepare financial statements. Throughout the work, dozens of examples are presented in order to "realistically" present a combination of theory and practical examples.

The non-profit sector is part of Swedish civil society and an arena where public health work is conducted in most ways. Sports associations contribute to physical activity, teamwork, and increased quality of life. Previous surveys from the Swedish Sports Confederation show that few seniors are voluntarily involved in sports associations. The purpose of the study is to investigate what motivational factors that active seniors in sports associations experience, and how it contributes to their quality of life. For the study, a qualitative method and semi-structured interviews were used as a data collection method. The selection for the study was goal-oriented and consisted of seniors between 65 - 81 years. All were voluntarily involved in sports clubs in Västmanland. Six interviews were conducted and then analyzed with manifest content analysis. The results show that social community and physical activity carried out together have a positive impact on the well-being of seniors and are also the primary motivating factors in the context. Potential obstacles to actively getting involved in sports as a senior are lack of time, fear of not being physically active enough and lack of expertise in the area. One conclusion is that active association life in sports has a positive impact on seniors' perceived well-being and quality of life, which in turn leads to sports associations being a suitable arena for continued health promotion and disease prevention work at population level regarding the target group. Finally, continued research in the subject can be beneficial in getting more active seniors in sports associations. Keywords: increased quality of life, motivating factors, seniors, sports associations, well-being Föreningslivet är en del av det svenska civilsamhället och en arena där folkhälsoarbete bedrivs på flertalet sätt. Idrottsföreningar bidrar till fysisk aktivitet, lagsammanhållning och ökad livskvalitet. Tidigare undersökningar från Riksidrottsförbundet visar att det är få seniorer som är ideellt engagerade i idrottsföreningar. Studiens syfte är att undersöka vilka motivationsfaktorer som aktiva seniorer i idrottsföreningar upplever, och hur det bidrar till deras livskvalitet. För studien användes kvalitativ metod och semistrukturerade intervjuer som datainsamlingsmetod. Urvalet för studien var målinriktat och bestod av seniorer mellan 65 – 81 år. Samtliga var ideellt engagerade i idrottsföreningar i Västmanlands län. Sex intervjuer genomfördes och sedan analyserades med manifest innehållsanalys. Resultatet visar att social gemenskap och fysisk aktivitet som genomförs tillsammans har positiv inverkan på seniorers välmående och är också de största motivationsfaktorerna i sammanhanget. Potentiella hinder att aktivt engagera sig i idrottsföreningar som senior är tidsbrist, rädsla för att inte vara tillräckligt fysiskt aktiv och brist på kompetens inom området. En slutsats är att aktivt föreningsliv inom idrott har en positiv inverkan på seniorers upplevda välmående och livskvalitet, vilket i sin tur leder till att idrottsföreningar är en lämplig arena för fortsatt hälsofrämjande och sjukdomsförebyggande arbete på befolkningsnivå avseende målgruppen. Nyckelord: idrottsförening, motivationsfaktorer, seniorer, välmående, ökad livskvalitet

En este artículo se presentan algunos datos inéditos que pretenden esclarecer los orígenes del fútbol en España y más concretamente en Barcelona. Aparte de la influencia que ejerce la colonia inglesa en la divulgación del fútbol, se describen y se valoran los antecedentes del deporte escolar. Sobre el fútbol en Barcelona se aportan datos que revelan que antes de la constitución del Fútbol Club Barcelona, considerado frecuentemente como el primer equipo de fútbol de la ciudad, existieron una decena de asociaciones que practicaron este deporte. Se acentúa la importancia que tuvo la colonia inglesa, los gimnasios y las sociedades deportivas de Barcelona entre 1892 y 1903, para generar el ambiente favorable que hizo que el fútbol triunfase como deporte moderno, estimulando a su vez el contexto regeneracionista y la emergencia del asociacionismo deportivo de principios del siglo XX. El método de investigación se ha centrado en técnicas de análisis histórico en torno al tratamiento de las fuentes documentales originales y el complemento de otras fuentes historicistas indirectas. This article shows some unpublished data that seek to clarify the origins of football in Spain and particularly in Barcelona. Apart from the influence of the English colony in the dissemination of football, the background of school sport is described and evaluated. It is provided data about football in Barcelona which reveal that before the constitution of the Football Club Barcelona, often considered the first team of the city, there were ten associations that practiced this sport. It emphasizes the importance of the British colony, gyms and sports clubs of Barcelona from 1892 to 1903, to generate the enabling environment that made ​​the modern sport of football triumph, stimulating in turn the context Regenerationism and the emergence of associations sports from the early twentieth century. The research method has focused on historical analysis techniques, with the treatment of the original documentary sources and complemented with historicist indirect sources.

In 1950, using the Soviet GTO badge as a model, the SPO (BSPO) sports badge was introduced in Poland. It was the basis of the contemporary physical culture system and a factor of promoting mass sport. The badge was divided into 4 degrees and the following age categories were established: the kid degree BSPO with the division into two categories: 1) girls and boys aged 11 to 12, and 2) aged 13 to 14, as well as the youth degree BSPO with one age category: 15–16. SPO included degrees 1 and 2 and two age categories: 1) 17–35, 2) 36 and above. The regulations of earning the badge were prepared, special committees were appointed, and the whole process was supervised by the Main Committee of Physical Culture (Główny Komitet Kultury Fizycznej – GKKF). Political authorities attached a lot of importance to possessing that badge, and mass earning of the SPO badge was a priority for the contemporary sports authorities. Schools, universities, the army, People’s Sports Teams and sports associations were obliged to conduct tests for the required standards for the SPO badge. This paper tries to answer the following questions: What criteria had to be met to be awarded the SPO and BSPO badge? and: How many badges were achieved in sports associations in Rzeszów Voivodship in 1953?

The purpose of this case study is to examine the crisis response strategies and rhetorical tools Östersunds FK (ÖFK) used in their crisis communication during an economic-crime-crisis. To examine which response strategies ÖFK used to protect their image, Benoit's ​image repair theory (1997)​ supplemented with Bruce & Tahlia’s (2008) ​diversion ​and Coombs ​SCCT​ (2007), are crucial throughout this case study. In addition to that, we have done a rhetorical analysis to examine the use of ethos, pathos and logos in ÖFK:s crisis communication. The analysis indicates that ÖFK mostly used ​ethos​ and ​logos​ as rhetorical tools. Denial​, ​corrective action​ and ​reduce of offensiveness​ were the most common response strategies. Our study provides an insight into how sports associations in Sweden act in crisis. The conclusions are that ÖFK was reactive in their crises communication and we could see tendencies that are consistent with previous crisis communication research in sports association context, but also in political context.

Nowadays, new media play a big role in the world and among other things, they also change the role of classical media. Their use also significantly affects daily life in society. The possibility of communication through these channels is currently used not only by publicly known personalities and commercial entities, but also, for example, by non-profit organizations or sports associations.

Then the Czech Athletic Association and social networks are introduced. The second chapter defines the research methods that were used. It describes how the...

U radu se istražuje proces modeliranja informacijskog sustava za potporu procesima vrednovanja sportova i sportskih udruga na lokalnoj razini na primjeru informacijskog sustava Športske zajednice Grada Zadra (ŠZGZ). U teorijskom dijelu rada dan je kraći osvrt na opću teoriju sustava, teoriju informacijskih sustava, pojmove organizacije te prikaz modeliranja informacijskih sustava, uz poseban osvrt na sustav sporta u Republici Hrvatskoj. U osvrtu na opću teoriju sustava dan je prikaz osnovnih pojmova vezanih uz sustav, sažeta povijest opće teorije sustava te ostale značajke i koncepti sustavnog pristupa. Cjelina posvećena teoriji informacijskih sustava obuhvatila je sažetu povijest informacijskih sustava, definicije osnovnih pojmova, klasifikacije, ciljeve, funkcije te elemente informacijskog sustava. Poseban naglasak stavljen je na proces razvoja poslovnog informacijskog sustava te informacijske sustave u području sporta. Odnos pojma organizacije i informacijskog sustava izložen je kroz teorijski pristup pojmu organizacije i teorije organizacije, zatim, okruženja organizacije, upravljanja sportskim organizacijama, informacijskih sustavima u organizacijama te organizacijama u području sporta. Tema modeliranja informacijskih sustava obrađena je kroz osvrt na definicije i vrsta modeliranja, kao i vrste modela, te metodologiju projektiranja informacijskih sustava. U radu je dan i širi prikaz ustroja, upravljanja i procesa vrednovanja u sustavu sporta. Opisana su obilježja piramidalnog sustava sporta kao temeljne strukture sporta u Republici Hrvatskoj, a zatim, u širem kontekstu, razmotrene su djelatnosti sporta u Republici Hrvatskoj. Poseban naglasak u radu stavljen je na modele i sustavi financiranja sporta u Republici Hrvatskoj. Osim toga, dan je prikaz organizacijske strukture sportske organizacije te osvrt na tri razine upravljanja sustavom sporta: svjetskoj i kontinentalnoj razini te na razini Europske Unije. U radu je naveden i kraći osvrt na Uredbu o kriterijima, mjerilima i postupcima financiranja i ugovaranja programa i projekata od interesa za opće dobro koje provode udruge Vlade Republike Hrvatske iz koje je proizišao Priručnik za postupanje u primjeni Uredbe o kriterijima, mjerilima i postupcima financiranja i ugovaranje programa i projekata od interesa za opće dobro, koji predstavlja osnovu za utvrđivanje kriterija vrednovanja, a zatim i pokazatelja (mjerila) te postupaka za potrebe vrednovanja programa (i projekata) u lokalnoj zajednici. Završna cjelina teorijskog dijela rada posvećena je procesima vrednovanja u sportu; najprije je dan prikaz razvoja teorija vrednovanja kroz povijest, zatim su navedeni svrha i ciljevi procesa vrednovanja, vrste i metode vrednovanja te definirani temeljni koncepti na kojima je zasnovan proces vrednovanja sportova i sportskih udruga kroz Program javnih potreba u sportu na lokalnoj razini. U istraživačkom dijelu rada istražen je postojeći informacijski sustav ŠZGZ za potrebe procesa vrednovanja sporta kroz Program javnih potreba u sportu Grada Zadra. U skladu s tim, najprije je izvršena analiza postojećeg pravnog i zakonskog okvira procesa vrednovanja sportova i sportskih udruga ŠZGZ te analiza sadržaja (putem metode analize sadržaja) postojećeg informacijskog sustava za potporu procesima vrednovanja sporta i sportskih udruga. Nakon toga, putem anketnog upitnika provedeno je ispitivanje zadovoljstva sportskih djelatnika ŠZGZ postojećim informacijskim sustavom, dok se metodom dubinskog intervjua s eminentnim sportskim stručnjacima ŠZGZ nastojala dokazati međusobna povezanosti zadanih kriterija vrednovanja, pokazatelja i učinkovitosti informacijskog sustava ŠZGZ. Istraživanje je ujedno rezultiralo izradom načela i smjernica (kao i dijagrama toka) za potrebe modeliranja učinkovitijeg informacijskog sustava za potporu vrednovanja procesima u sportu na lokalnoj razini. Istraživanje je pokazalo da je prva hipoteza rada samo djelomično potvrđena, odnosno da je informacijski sustav ŠZGZ za potporu vrednovanja sportova i sportskih udruga kroz Program javnih potreba u sportu za sportske djelatnike – članove udruga – tek djelomično zadovoljavajući. S druge strane, druga hipoteza rada vezana uz međusobnu povezanost zadanih kriterija vrednovanja, pokazatelja i učinkovitosti informacijskog sustava, na osnovi metode analize sadržaja i odgovora ispitanika u dubinskom intervju, u potpunosti je potvrđena. Štoviše, ne samo da postoji međusobna povezanost između zadanih kriterija vrednovanja, pokazatelja i učinkovitosti informacijskog sustava za potporu vrednovanja sportova i sportskih udruga, nego je utvrđeno da se preciziranjem postojećih i uvođenjem novih pokazatelja za zadane kriterije vrednovanja osigurava provedba kvalitetnijeg procesa vrednovanja sportskih udruga za potrebe Programa javnih potreba u sportu Grada Zadra, a čime je i veća učinkovitost informacijskog sustava ŠZGZ u cjelini. The thesis examines the process of modelling an information system dedicated to the support of the evaluation systems for sports and sports associations at the local level, based on the example of the Sports Community of Zadar (ŠZGZ). Within the theoretical part of the paper a brief overview was presented of the general system theory, the information systems theory, organization concepts and modelling of information systems, with particular emphasis on the sports system in the Republic of Croatia. As part of the overview of the general system theory the basic concepts related to the system are presented, as well as the summarized history of the general theory system together with other features and concepts belonging to a systematic approach. The segment dedicated to the theory of the information systems presents a brief history of the systems, the definition of the basic concepts, classifications, goals, as well as the functions and elements of the information system. Special emphasis was placed on the process of developing the business information system and the information systems in the field of sports. The relationship between the concept of organization and the information system is presented through a theoretical approach to the concept of organization and the theory of organization, the organizational environment, the management of sport organizations, the information systems in organizations, as well as sports organizations. The modelling theme of the information systems was elaborated through a review of the definitions and modelling types, as well as the types of models and the designing methodology of the information systems. The analysis also includes a wider presentation of the organization, management and evaluation process within the sports system. A pyramid sport system is also defined as the fundamental structure of sports in the Republic of Croatia, together with an evaluation of the accompanying sport activities. Special emphasis within the analysis was placed on the models and financing systems. In addition to the overview of the structure of the sports organization, a review of the three managerial levels of the sport system is also provided - the world and continental level, as well as the European Union level. Further on the analysis provides a short review of the Regulation of the Government of the Republic of Croatia titled The Regulation of the Criteria, Measures and Procedures for the Funding and Defining Programs and Projects of Public Interest Planned and Conducted by Civil Associations, which in turn resulted with the Handbook for the Application of the Regulation of the Criteria, Measures and Procedures for the Funding and Defining Programs and Projects of Public Interest, which represents the basis for establishing the evaluation criteria, as well as the indicators (benchmarks) and procedures for the evaluation of programs (and projects) within the local community. The final part of the theoretical segment is devoted to the evaluation process in sports - the first part presenting the development of the evaluation theories through history, followed by the goals and objectives of the evaluation process, the types and methods of evaluation, and the definition of the basic concepts on which the evaluation process of sports and sports associations is based on, as defined by the local Public Support Program. Within the research segment of the work a study is presented of the existing information system of the ŠŽGZ (Sports Community of Zadar) dedicated to the evaluation process of sports and used by the Public Sporting Program of the City of Zadar. Accordingly, an analysis was conducted focused on the existing legal framework dedicated to the evaluation of sports and sport associations of the Sports Community of Zadar, together with content analysis (using the content analysis method) of the existing information system for the support of the evaluation of sports and sport associations. In addition to that a questionnaire survey of the sports staff of the Sports Community of Zadar was conducted analyzing the satisfaction of the staff with the existing information system. Parallel to that, using an in-depth interview method with eminent sports experts from the Sports Community of Zadar, an attempt was made to prove the interrelationship of the set criteria for evaluation, indicators and efficiency of the existing information system. The research also resulted in the development of principles and guidelines (as well as flowcharts) for the needs of modelling of a more effective information system designated for the support of the evaluation of local sport related processes. The research has shown that the first proposed hypothesis has only been partially confirmed, more precisely that the Sports Community of Zadar information system dedicated to the support of the sports and sports associations evaluation processes through the Public Support Program - is only partially satisfactory. On the other hand, the second hypothesis related to the interrelationship of the established criteria of evaluation, indicators and efficiency of the information system, based on the method of content analysis and the respondents responses in a an in-depth interview, is fully confirmed. Moreover, not only has a correlation between the set criteria for evaluation, as well as the indicators and the effectiveness of the supporting information system have been confirmed, but it has been established that by specifying the existing indicators, and by introducing new ones for the defined evaluation criteria, a better quality of the evaluation process and the overall efficiency of the information system is being ensured.

Cilj diplomskog rada je kroz odgovarajuću literaturu pojasniti pojam odnosa s javnošću te uvesti u ,,svijet'' te struke. Također primarni cilj je objasniti odnose s javnošću na primjeru sportskih organizacija. Organizacije su unaprijed odabrane, a riječ je o: košarkaškom klubu Zadar, plivačkom klubu Zadar, košarkaškom klubu Cedevita, hokejaškom klubu na ledu Medveščak i Hrvatskom rukometnom Savezu. Kroz kvalitativnu metodu istraživanja na bazi polu-strukturiranog intervjua i analize web sadržaja odabranih sportskih organizacija, nastojalo se ukazati na djelovanje odnosa s javnošću u sportu. Donesen je zaključak da pojedine sportske organizacije još uvijek ne pristupaju ozbiljno prema djelatnosti kao što su odnosi s javnošću u sportu te da su odnosi s javnošću u sportu još uvijek nedovoljno istražena struka. The aim of the thesis is to clarify the notion of public relations with the help of adequate literature and thus introduce the „world“ of this profession. Also, another aim is to explain public relations in the example of several sports association. These associations have been previously chosen: Basketball Club Zadar, Swimming Club Zadar, Basketball Club Cedevita, Ice Hockey Club Medveščak and Croatian Handball Federation. The qualitative methodology of research based on semi structural interview, and the analysis of the web content of these sports associations were used to draw the attention to the activity of public relations sports. It is concluded that certain sports associations are not taking seriously the activities of public relations and that public relations in sports is still a profession insufficiently researched.

Choosing the environment of community sports as a place of commitment for young people in civic service seemed relevant. Indeed,little attention has yet been given to the subject of the implementation of a public policy such as the civic service in the sports environment. For us, it was essential to link sports and politics in order to fully understand the issues related to young people’s commitment in our current society.Our work will then be dedicated to study the commitment of young volunteers in civic service in sports clubs in order to have a better understanding of the motivations which led them to use this service during their journey. By focusing on this phenomenon, we are going to see if the objectives of the civic service are compatible with the use of the service made by young people and clubs. The issue of the difference between the use of the service and its environment will then come up to guide our investigations in this dissertation.; Le choix du monde associatif sportif comme lieu d’engagement pour les jeunes en service civique nous a semblé intéressant. En effet, la mise en oeuvre d’une politique publique comme le service civique dans le champ sportif est un sujet peu exploité. Il nous a paru indispensable de relier sport et politique pour comprendre les enjeux liés à l’engagement des jeunes dans notre société actuelle. Notre étude va donc s’attacher à analyser l’engagement des jeunes volontaires en service civique dans les associations sportives afin de mieux comprendre les motivations qui les ont conduits à utiliser ce dispositif dans leur parcours. C’est en s’intéressant à ce phénomène que nous allons voir si les objectifs du service civique sont en phase avec l’utilisation du dispositif faite par les jeunes et les associations. La question du décalage entre l’usage du dispositif et le cadre de celui-ci viendra alors se poser et guider nos investigations dans ce mémoire.

The model of Entrepreneurial Orientation has frequently been used as a way to analyze the entrepreneurial behavior of organizations. Although the model has been adopted across different context, it has rarely been adapted to these: One such context is nonprofits. As nonprofits operate under other circumstances, we argue that the five dimensions of innovativeness, risk-taking, proactiveness, competitive aggressiveness, and autonomy may not account for all entrepreneurial activity in these organizations. With the largest body of nonprofits in Sweden being sports, a single case study with semi-structured interviews of members in Judo associations were conducted to answer the two research questions: (1) Which dimensions of EO can be found within nonprofits? and (2) Why do entrepreneurial behavior differ between for-profits and nonprofits? By implementing the study of Morris, Webb and Franklin (2011) of motivation, processes, and outcomes we identified what processes can be translated into dimensions, as well as what the motivation behind these are. By analyzing our empirical data we were able to answer our questions in the following way. In nonprofits, the dimensions of innovativeness, internal proactiveness, collaboration, lobbying, and autonomy were identified, indicating that the EO model does indeed need to be adapted for nonprofits. The reason for why these dimensions occurred is mainly due to difference in the motivation of nonprofits. We find that the nonprofits aim to fulfill external goals, by serving a social purpose to stakeholders and growth. This means that nonprofits are not as focused on other players in the market, which impacts on their entrepreneurial behavior.

本研究は日本国内の12大学における25スポーツサークルのメンバーを対象に,アンケートを調査して,その現状を把握することと今後の運営・発展について検討することを目的とした。その結果,サークルの運営を制約する要素としては,制度や規約を整備するサークルが少ないし,制度や規約がなく,好き勝手に活動するサークルが19.0%を示した。大半のサークルは指導者を招聘したことがあるが,全く来ない場合が多い。競技能力の向上を目的とするメンバーは約半数であり,指導者に運動技術の指導を希望していることが明らかになった。また,学校から活動する場所と運営資金をあまり提供されない。サークルの交流状況において,「時々する」が46.7%,「よくする」が43.7%を示し,サークルの交流範囲は大学間の交流が86.3%と最も多く,学内での交流が84.2%,地域間の交流が65.9%の順であった。, This aim of this study is to investigate the development of College Students Sports Associations and provide better operation mode. The questionnaires were performed among 25 Sports Associations of 12 universities. The results showed that the minority sports associations had intact regulation, and 19.0% ones have no regulation. Half of the members in the associations hoped to get guidance, however, the majority of the directors were absent. In addition, the schools rarely provided support to association activity. In the respect of association communication, 46.7% was occasional, and 43.7% was frequent. 86.3% of the communication was intercollegiate, 84.2% was interscholastic, and 65.9% was interlocal.

Pored udruženja i ustanova, sportska privredna društva predstavljaju jedan od organizacionih oblika sportskih organizacija. Nastaju u novije vreme kao izraz potrebe da se kroz adekvatnu formu prati profitno obavljanje sportske aktivnosti. Sportska privredna društva nastaju osnivanjem i u postupku reorganizacije. Zavisno od rešenja koja su prihvaćena u pojedinim zemljama, ona se obavezno osnivaju: ako sportska organizacija ima profesionalni status; ako obavlja sportsku aktivnost učestvovanja u sportskom takmičenju; ako sportsko udruženje ostvaruje prihode koji prelaze određene okvire. Do reorganizacije dolazi ako su ispunjeni uslovi za pokretanje stečajnog postupka prema sportskom udruženju (model koji je prihvaćen u RH) ili po sprovedenom postupku privatizacije (model koji se predlaže u RS). Na ova društva, kao specijalizovana privredna društva, primenjuju se brojne zaštitne klauzule i pravila kojima se obezbeđuje opstanak i razvoj sporta i sportskih klubova u granicama morala i dobrih poslovnih običaja., Besides the associations and institutions, sports commercial associations represent one of the organizational forms of sports organizations. They appear in recent time as a result of the need to ensure profitable performing of sports activities. Sports commercial associations can be established by the act of foundation or reorganization. According to the solutions which are accepted in some countries, these associations are established in the cases when: 1) a sports organization has a professional status, 2) it performs sports activities involving participation in sports competitions, 3) it has an income that exceeds certain scopes. The reorganization takes place when 1) the conditions are met for initiating a bankruptcy procedure in the sports association (the model proposed in RH) or 2) after the completion of the privatization procedure (the model proposed in RS). These associations, as specialized commercial associations, are governed by many protective regulations that ensure the survival and development of sports and sports clubs within the boundaries of good and ethical commercial practices.

As mudanças ocorridas no Brasil entre 1937 e 1945 atingiram os mais variados setores do país, inclusive o associativismo esportivo. O objetivo deste artigo é compreender como ocorreu o processo de nacionalização das associações esportivas “estrangeiras” em Porto Alegre durante o Estado Novo. Após a análise das fontes impressas evidenciou-se que estas associações foram alvejadas pelas medidas nacionalizadoras, as quais impuseram a mudança do nome original e a adoção da língua portuguesa nos documentos oficiais. Isto não significa que houve a perda de suas identidades culturais, mas sim um processo de resistência à nacionalização, através da recomposição de identidades., The occurred changes in Brazil between 1937 and 1945 reached the most varied sectors of the country and also the sports associations.

Aquest estudi aborda el naixement i desenvolupament de l'associacionisme gimnasticoesportiu a Espanya en el segle xix des del 1822 any en què van aparèixer les primeres associacions esportives fins al 1900. Aquest procés contribueix a l'ordenament institucional de l'esport, a la seva difusió i a la seva legitimació social. L'associacionisme esportiu es va iniciar de manera titubejant però va arrencar a partir de 1875. La introducció de l'esport va coincidir amb la Restauració borbònica i el fervor dels reis i l'aristocràcia pel model cultural anglès i l'sport, i va ser sostinguda pel Regeneracionisme i la Institución Libre de Eseñanza. Per construir la llista d'entitats que conformen l'esport institucio­nalitzat, s'han seguit tres processos, que beuen de fonts primà­ries i secundàries. En primer lloc s'ha fet una exhaustiva revisió documental dels treballs anteriors de dos dels autors. A continuació, s'han efectuat recerques sistematitzades en les principals plataformes documentals digitalitzades d'Espanya. Finalment, s'han contrastat les dades resultants amb els últims treballs historiogràfics del període. Aquest procés metodològic de tres parts va produir una llista de 363 entitats esportives ubicades a les zones més benestants i industrialitzades. El ciclisme va ser l'esport que va atreure un nombre més gran d'associacions. Els resultats de la investigació mostren el vigor del procés d'institucionalització de l'esport a Espanya en el segle xix i el seu arrelament inicial entre les capes aristocràtiques i burgeses This study addresses the birth and development of gym- nastics and sports associations in Spain in the nineteenth century between 1822, when the first ones appeared, and 1900. This process contributed to the institutional structu- re, dissemination and social legitimisation of sport. Sports associations in Spain were initially rickety but took off after 1875. The introduction of sport coincided with the Bourbon Restoration and the craze of the Royals and the aristocra- cy for sport and the cultural model of England, and was underpinned by Regenerationism and the Institución Libre de Enseñanza. In order to build the list of clubs that made up institutionalised sport, three processes were followed, drawing from both primary and secondary sources. Firstly, a literature review of two of the authors' previous work was conducted. Secondly, a thorough documentary search was carried out in Spain's main digitised databases. Finally, the resulting data were compared with the latest historiogra- phical works on the period. This three-fold methodological procedure resulted in a list of 363 sports associations loca- ted in the most affluent and industrialised locations. Cycling was the sport with the largest number of associations. The research findings show the vigour of the institutionalisation of sport in nineteenth-century Spain and its initial populari- ty among the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie

O comportamento disruptivo de muitas claques de clubes de futebol em todo o mundo tem sido alvo de inúmeros estudos no âmbito da Sociologia e da Psicologia Social. Contudo, poucos ou nenhuns estudos na ára da Psicologia Clínica foram levados a cabo. Como tal, este trabalho tem como objectivo geral comparar os valores psicopatológicos entre duas amostras de sócios de uma equipa de futebol portuguesa (sócios pertencentes à claque e sócios não pertencentes à claque); e como objectivos específicos a caracterização das amostras (em conjunto e separadamente), bem como a determinação dos valores psicopatológicos e a comparação dos mesmos entre as duas amostras. Para a elaboração deste trabalho, foi concebido um protocolo que continha um questionário sociodemográfico e o Inventário de Sintomas Psicopatológicos (Canavarro, 1999) que é a adaptação portuguesa do Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) de Derogatis e Spencer (1982). As nossas hipóteses presumiam que as duas subamostras teriam características sociodemográficas diferentes e que a subamostra dos sócios que pertencem à claque apresentaria valores mais elevados no BSI do que a subamostra dos sócios que não pertencem à claque. Ambas as hipóteses vieram-se a confirmar., Disruptive behavior of many cheerleading football clubs around the world has been the subject of numerous studies in Sociology and Social Psychology. However, few if any studies on Clinical Psychology were carried out aout this subject. As such, this work has the overall objective to compare the psychopathological values between two samples of members of a Portuguese football team (members belonging to the fan club members and non fan club); and the specific objectives are the sample characterization (collectively and separately), as well as the determination of psychopathological values and their comparison between the two samples. For the preparation of this work, a protocol was designed which contained a socio-demographic questionnaire and the Psychopathological Symptoms Inventory (Canavarro, 1999) which is the Portuguese adaptation of Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) of Derogatis and Spencer (1982). Our hypothesis assumed that the two subsamples would have different sociodemographic characteristics and the subsample of members who belong to the cheerleader present higher values in BSI than the subsample of partners outside the cheerleader. Both cases came to confirm., Orientação : Ângela Leite

Eighty percent of all adolescents in Sweden aged 13-19 years are physically active in sports associations growing up during their childhood, however, far from everyone continues as they get older. The aim of this study is to increase the knowledge about sports associations views and perceptions regarding why adolescents quit physical activities and how they work to prevent this to occur. Furthermore, this study will examine the perceptions and opinions these sport associations have regarding recruitment of adolescents for coaching and other positions within their association. The data in this study was collected from nine semi-structured interviews with representatives from sports associations in the county of Umeå. The results from the data analysis indicates that the sport associations seems to be aware of this drop out among adolescents and that the reason for this phenomena is complex and individual. Despite this, little action seemed to be taken among these sport associations in order to try to keep young individuals physically active within the club or with recruitment of these individuals as coaches, even if the sport associations considered it as a good solution to the problem. The main conclusion of this study is that if sport associations are in need of preventing youth drop out they have to increase their activities for preventing it. Furthermore they need to start seeing adolescents as resources to the sport association.

The excellent performance of Croatian athletes and sports clubs at the world level has made Croatia internationally distinctive. Without top-quality sports personnel, equipment and sports infrastructure, athletes cannot be expected to achieve excellent results, no matter how dedicated and committed to sports they may be. For the most part, sports associations traditionally rely on funds from the state budget and the budget of local self- government units. However, given the economic crisis and growing pressure on budgets, the sustainability of the existing model of financing sports associations has been brought into question. Using the example of the Town of Rijeka, the paper analyses the allocation to sports of funds from the town budget and examines modifications in the structure of financing sports associations as the result of adverse changes to conditions in the environment.

De flesta svenska elitidrottsföreningar är ideella till sin karaktär. Den senaste tidens utvecklingvisar dock att idrotten blir alltmer kommersiell och professionell, vilket gör attidrottsföreningarnas organisation mer och mer liknar traditionella företag. Ett tydligt tecken pådetta är att den allsvenska fotbollsföreningen IF Elfsborg uppger i sin senasteverksamhetsberättelse att de sedan några år tillbaka följer sin verksamhet med balanserat styrkort,ett koncept som vanligtvis förknippas med den traditionella företagsvärlden. Syftet meduppsatsen är att ta reda på varför IF Elfsborg valt att använda sig utav ett koncept som i grundenär utformat för företag samt hur de har tolkat konceptet och hur man använder det i praktikenjämfört med vad som beskrivs i litteraturen. För att få svar på våra frågor har vi valt attgenomföra en kvalitativ undersökning genom att intervjua tre personer inom Elfsborg:klubbchefen, ekonomichefen samt en före detta styrelsemedlem som varit med och fört in, ocharbetet med, det balanserade styrkortet i verksamheten.Resultatet visar att man inom Elfsborg egentligen inte styr sin verksamhet med balanseratstyrkort, utan att man snarare skapat en egen modell som man med tiden valt att kalla förbalanserat styrkort då det liknar Elfsborgs modell. Att de två modellerna liknar varandra är tydligtvilket vi visar genom att koppla praktiken till teorin. Elfsborg följer till stor del de fyragrundläggande parametrarna som förespråkas i litteraturen om balanserat styrkort. Vi konstateraräven att anledningen till varför man valt att koppla in balanserat styrkort i verksamheten är att detfanns problem i organisationen som man önskade lösa.

A mediados del siglo XIX Barcelona emprendió un acelerado proceso de expansión industrial y empresarial que la consolidó como la ciudad más próspera de España. Esta posición provocó la presencia de una elevada colonia extranjera europea, que asimismo participó del asociacionismo recreativo del llamado sport. Los vínculos entre la elitista colonia extranjera y la emergente burguesía de Barcelona facilitaron la puesta en marcha de un fenómeno asociativo de signo liberal sin precedentes que tomó su máxima expresión en las prácticas gimnástico-deportivas. Esta consideración representó a finales del siglo XIX, coincidiendo con la gestación de los Juegos Olímpicos modernos, la imagen que sustentó a Barcelona como la precursora y primer referente del incipiente asociacionismo deportivo en España, In the mid-19th century Barcelona started an accelerated process of industrial and business expansion which established it as the most prosperous city of Spain. This position led to the presence of a high European foreign colony, which also participated in recreational associations of the so-called sport. The links between the elitist foreign colony and the emerging bourgeoisie of Barcelona provided implementation underway an associative phenomenon of liberal sign unprecedented that took its maximum expression in gymnastics and sport activities. This consideration represented at the end of the 19th century, coinciding with the emergence of the modern Olympic Games, the image which propped up Barcelona as the precursor and first reference for budding sports associations in Spain.

The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis is to examine how public librarians and people engaged in sports associations think of the possibility of collaboration between their organizations regarding children and youth and furthermore how they think this collaboration and collaboration in general would or should be practiced. This is done in the light of the increasing necessity of collaboration in today’s information society as well as the view that reading and sports could make a good match. Focus is placed on the libraries’ perspective and also on the respondents’ perceptions and thoughts. The empirical data were collected through qualitative telephone interviews with seven respondents from both public libraries and sports associations and the results were analyzed using general theories about collaboration from different subject areas as well as the models developed by Patricia Montiel-Overall concerning different levels of collaboration, which were modified to suit the purpose of this thesis. According to the empiric results the majority of the respondents see collaboration in general as a positive activity which helps to develop an organization. Therefore collaboration between public libraries and sports associations is also seen in mostly a positive way but some inhibitors are recognized, lack of time being the most significant. Because of this the thesis concludes that the respondents see lower level collaboration between their organizations as sufficient, even though Montiel-Overall’s models propose that deep collaboration more likely will result in positive outcomes.

Con la autonomía propia de una disciplina jurídica el Derecho deportivo viene creando todo un sistema legal y teórico a fin de regular eficientemente las relaciones interpersonales que en él se dan. Frente a ello debe tenerse en cuenta que el deporte amerita un tratamiento institucional con reglas jurídica claras. Esto no se agota en normas que rijan los deberes y derechos de los sujetos relacionados con la práctica sino que, más allá de ello, exige de un método adecuado que canalice la satisfacción de las necesidades y requerimientos de sus actores. En esta parte de la investigación tratamos tres de las más significativas figuras del Derecho Civil y Empresarial que se aplican en el ámbito deportivo, estas son el asociacionismo, los contratos y la responsabilidad civil.

Dissertação de mestrado em Economia Social, Numa altura de grandes dificuldades económicas e financeiras para o país, com altas taxas de desemprego, com elevado défice e dívida pública, as coletividades desportivas são afetadas como outras instituições, por toda esta conjuntura ou, no caso de se prolongar, são afetadas pelas condições estruturais que prejudicam, entre outros, o seu desempenho financeiro, económico e institucional. Na investigação empírica deste trabalho, a metodologia utilizada foi a recolha e análise dos inquéritos por questionário, tendo em vista caraterizar os clubes de futebol sénior masculino a militarem no principal escalão de cada campeonato distrital em Portugal, bem como avaliar a perceção da sua sustentabilidade desportiva (financeira, humana e institucional) e a qualidade dos seus recursos. Através das respostas recolhidas junto de mais de setenta coletividades (com um erro de amostragem de 9.6%), verificou-se que a generalidade dos clubes inquiridos vive da colaboração voluntária, exibe o reconhecimento de serem sustentáveis desportivamente, bem como, identificam os seus recursos como suficientes em termos de quantidade e de qualidade. Através de testes estatísticos de associação, aceitou-se estatisticamente algumas das relações, nomeadamente, o volume de sócios com a existência de títulos nacionais assim como a perceção da qualidade dos vários recursos ao serviço dos clubes. Conciliadas as opiniões sobre os problemas e a crise em que o associativismo viveu/vive, com a análise dos dados, pode-se verificar que o associativismo soube/tem sabido adaptar-se às necessidades, reconhecendo que existe suficiência dos recursos, o que mostra sobretudo que há uma certa aceitação das possibilidades existentes., At a time of great economic and financial difficulties to the country, with high unemployment rates, high public deficits and significant public debts, the sports teams are some of many institutions that have been affected by this hard situation. At our empirical research, we collected and analyzed many inquiries responded by regional soccer teams in order to characterize the male senior football clubs playing at the main leagues of each regional competition (Distritais) in Portugal, as well as we evaluated the perception of their sustainability (at the financial, human and institutional dimensions). We also evaluated the perception of the quality of the resources available to these soccer teams. Through the answers collected from more than seventy collectivities (with a sampling error of 9.6%), it was found that the majority of these clubs survive from voluntary collaboration. These teams also recognize that they are sportingly sustainable. Their managers identify their resources as sufficient in terms of quantity and quality. By statistical tests of association, we statistically accept some of the tested relationships, namely the number of members/fans with the existence of national titles, as well as with the perception of the quality of the various resources of the clubs. Concluding we have to recognize that sports associativism has been able to adjust itself to the various needs. In a certain way, our results show us that associativism has reached a certain state of resignation which leads to recognize as sufficient most of resources that are disposable to the teams and to the local organizations.
