The range of sports and recreation facilities' offer should be very wide in order for all social groups of the examined environment to have access to sports and recreation facilities. Therefore, Poznan City Hall should take into account all difficulties that limit the access to these facilities when preparing management policy of sports and recreation infrastructure and its functioning. That is why the main goal of this study is to recognize difficulties limiting the access to sports and recreation facilities in this city. The research carried out at indoor tennis courts (16 facilities), indoor swimming polls (12 facilities) and fitness clubs (11 facilities) in Poznan covered 1159 service recipients (using the services of a given sports and recreation facility). The author-constructed questionnaire addressed to the service recipients (residents of the city of Poznan who use the services offered at the examined sports and recreation facilities). Furthermore, the service recipients were divided into a group of people doing sports competitively and a group of recipients who have never practiced sports as professional athletes. The validated questionnaire sent to the examined service recipients included suggestions of difficulties that may limit the access to sports and recreation facilities in the city of Poznan. Further analysis of the importance of difficulties that limit the access to sports and recreation facilities may allow indicating the reason why recreational activity of residents is limited. A lower level of satisfaction and thus a lower rating of the respondents was obtained by a set of features constituting, according to the respondents, difficulties limiting the access to the use of sports and recreation facilities (high prices and too great of a distance of the sports and recreation facility from the place of residence).
体育和娱乐设施的提供范围应该非常广泛,以便检查环境中的所有社会群体都能够使用体育和娱乐设施。因此,波兹南市政府在制定体育和娱乐基础设施的管理政策及其运作时,应考虑到限制人们进入这些设施的所有困难。这就是为什么这项研究的主要目标是识别限制该市人们进入体育和娱乐设施的困难。该研究在室内网球场地(16 个设施)、室内游泳池(12 个设施)和健身俱乐部(11 个设施)进行,覆盖了 1159 名服务接受者(使用特定体育和娱乐设施的服务)。作者为服务接受者(波兹南市居民,使用所检查的体育和娱乐设施提供的服务)构建了一份调查问卷。此外,服务接受者被分为参加竞技运动的人群和从未作为职业运动员参加过运动的人群。发送给接受检查的服务接受者的经过验证的问卷包括可能限制人们进入波兹南市体育和娱乐设施的困难的建议。进一步分析限制人们进入体育和娱乐设施的困难的重要性,可以指出限制居民娱乐活动的原因。根据受访者的说法,构成限制使用体育和娱乐设施的困难的一系列特征(价格高和体育和娱乐设施离居住地的距离太远)导致受访者的满意度降低,因此评分也降低。
