Social Impact and Connection Outcomes Associated with Community Sport

社区体育产生的社会联系结果被广泛地吹捧和支持。然而，我们对社会基础设施如何真正带来这些好处知之甚少。很难理解和开发组织可以用来最大化体育参与成果的实践。本研究旨在调查社会基础设施如何提供与社区体育相关的社会联系结果。预期成果包括为社区团体提供新的基于实践的工具和指导，以增强社会联系的结果，以及对社会基础设施在加强社区联系方面的作用的新理解。改善社会联系有望提高复原力和社区福祉。

Outcomes of social connection from community sport are widely touted and supported to exist. However, we know little about how social infrastructure actually delivers these benefits. It is difficult to understand and develop practices that organisations can use to maximise the outcomes of sport participation. This research aims to investigate how social infrastructure delivers social connection outcomes associated with community sport. Expected outcomes include novel practice based tools and guidance for community groups to enhance social connection outcomes and new understanding about the role of social infrastructure in enhancing community connection. Improved social connection is expected to improve resilience and community wellbeing.
