Abstract

The survey was part of a multifaceted evaluation of neighbourhood sports facilities carried out by Young Finland Association. Data were collected from four different sources: from project managers of sports facility construction projects (FSD2537), children and young people in the neighbourhood where the facility is located (FSD2535), their parents (FSD2536), and schools if the facility was located in the schoolyard (FSD2538).

The main themes of the project manager survey were the goals set for the project, planning and execution of the project, opening and maintenance of the neighbourhood sports facility in question and evaluation of the project.

Background variables included the respondent's job title, employer, name of the neighbourhood sports facility construction project, the body which had initiated the project and the body responsible for the project.
