6.2 Sports facilities and outdoor natural sports areasAn important factor in sports activities is also the material environment48, thus, one of the priorities of the National Programme of Sport 2014-2023 is efficient and affordable network of quality sports facilities and areas for sport in nature. The co-financing of activities in the field of sports facilities and surfaces for sport in nature fall within the annual sports programmes at the state and local level. In the past decade, we provided decent infrastructure conditions5, 49 - with the exception of training infrastructure in major urban centres, in particular in Ljubljana and Maribor 50. So, it makes sense to promote the best possible use of existing public and those private sports facilities where there is a huge public interest in their integration into the network of sports facilities (e.g., facilities of sports clubs, where a large content of the National Programme of Sport is carried out), and to build the missing multi-purpose sports training facilities. Sports facilities in schools should be better used to cater for the needs of pupils, students, parents and clubs outside of school days. Thus, it is possible to create links between sport in the family, school and clubs. Facilities for sports recreation should be accessible to all population groups. The popularity of so-called urban sports among young people requires the construction of sports facilities for these sports in urban communities. Safe routes to sports surfaces should be adequately provided. The corporate image of sport and sports awareness should be reflected in well organised natural space for sporting purposes. Using nature as the biggest sports surface requires not only relationship to what has been constructed, but also to all naturally given, in accordance with the principles of sustainable development, particularly with balanced environmental management. Facilities for quality and competitive sport must follow the ongoing development of individual sports. To improve the spatial possibilities for the preparation and performance of athletes the National Programme of Sport 2014-2023 sets out the program and infrastructural integration of certain exercise sports areas into the sports centres at state and local communities’ level51. The constructed network of sports facilities and training areas for sport in nature will need to be properly maintained and updated according to the principles of sustainable development. It is necessary to ensure transparent public investment, which will enable the cooperation and support of public funding organisations, regardless of the ownership and with the expressed public interest. Sports event facilities represent the public interest that goes beyond the scope of sport, so their construction must be associated with the development potential of integration with other social segments (tourism, culture, etc.). Depending on the density of population and other infrastructural requirements, facilities of this kind are built, in principle, in the largest cities. One of the key justifications for the new construction of sports surfaces must be the appropriately educated and well trained staffs that are able to adequately exploit and maintain sports surfaces. Relevant standards and norms which prescribe the construction of sports facilities, their maintenance and equipment, are dictated also by raising the quality of sports activities in clubs and schools. On this basis it is possible to design a sport- technology step forward that will provide high-quality sports surfaces and thus modern sports facilities52. Particular attention will have to be focused on sustainable urban development of sports infrastructure within the capacity of the environment and natural resources. Urban development should ensure the sustainability of the improvement of the economic, social and environmental well-being without the depletion of environmental capital and destroying the urban environment and the preservation of housing values and raising the standard of living of all citizens.
In the past decade, we ensure good infrastructure conditions5, so the strategic objectives of the National Programme of Sport 2014-2023 are aimed at the efficient use of the network of sports facilities, its improvement and efficient management of sports facilities, maintenance of constructed facilities and modernisation of the outdated as well as exploiting the natural resources of the Republic of Slovenia in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. In this view, the following measures are designed in the field of sports facilities and outdoor surfaces for sports in nature:
