Annotation
The course gives students information about managing sport facilities, and planning, organizing and securing large sport events. Students are oriented with the capacity of sport infrastructure, possibilities for planning and placement of sport facilities in regions, possibilities for financing the building of sport facilities, and evaluating the effectiveness of use and capacity fulfillment. Students gain information about the steps required to bring large sport events to fruition, as well as the economic and social impact of sport events on the region.
Sport has a long and successful tradition in the Czech Republic, but in recent decades it seems that sport does not have the financial and social support that it deserves. This, of course, affects sports infrastructure, but also support for good conditions for teaching physical education in schools. Both are problematic, as the supporting sports activities is not inexpensive. In general, sports facilities are considered to be non-profit. On the other hand (in the case of a narrow segment of sports venues), they are of natural interest to the private sector. So public support for sport and sports infrastructure is a complex and relatively complicated political issue at many levels from municipal, regional to state.
