| Abstract [eng] |
Sports policy is important because it helps to coordinate mechanisms that ensure equal progress of physical education and politics of sports in the country. Sport is very beneficial to human health and to the public life in general. It has a big value and that is why institutions that form and manage sports policy have to not only organise it well, but also present it well to society. The organisations that form and implement the policy of sports can achieve great results only by cohesive interaction. Sport is a public virtue and should be available equally to everyone. When promoting active lifestyle to the public it is prominent to create favourable conditions for the role of sports in public life in areas of healthy lifestyle education and social life. By combining these sectors, it would be possible to create a complete sports policy that would be applicable in the whole European Union. This is the actual aim, that is why it is very important to find out how sports policy is formed in Lithuania and what are the results of its implementation in my chosen municipality of Visaginas city. Problematic issue: how formulation and implementation of current sports policy in Lithuania affects the municipality of Visaginas city? Research object: sports policy formulation and implementation in municipality of Visaginas city. The aim: to investigate the formulation and implementation of sports policy in Lithuanian administration and political provisions in Visaginas city. Research tasks: to analyse the theoretical aspects of formulation and implementation of sports policy; to perform legal establishment and finance analysis; to analyse the prospects and agendas of contemporary strategical management in Lithuanian sports policy; to investigate organizational and structural activities and qualitative and quantitative characteristics of human resources in formulation and implementation of sports policy in Lithuania; to perform the evaluation of qualitative effect of formulation and implementation of sports policy in Visaginas city. Research methods: narrative; the analysis of documents and science literature; case analysis; interpretation; qualitative research. It is established that many schools do not meet hygiene standards, sports equipment is old, old training methodology, not enough qualified specialists, low financing of sports infrastructure for schools. The stadium in municipality of Visaginas was built without the right standards; it is missing establishments for different sports. The process of project selection lacks control and right management and publicity, cases of lobbyism are detected. Physical education and sports department regulations are missing specificity and particular limits between lifting great sporting mastership and increasing sports mass. It is particularly relevant when allocating appropriations. Poor support of candidates for national team. No motivation and low pay for system workers. The results of work are great in Visaginas city: there are many high performance athletes and high engagement. There are qualified specialists working in Visaginas sports centre, many well-deserved employees that work by activity permit, but poor knowledge of national language persists. The final work consists of table chart, the list of the pictures, theoretical and practical parts of work, conclusions, suggestions, literature series and appendices. |
