Effects of Interaction Between Government and Business Entities for Sports Infrastructure Development

This article examines the implementation of public-private partnerships in physical culture and sport, using the development of hockey infrastructure in the Sverdlovsk region as an example. The improvement of resource management efficiency in the sector of physical culture and sports is attainable on the basis of robust and business-attractive public-private partnership mechanisms for the purpose of the implementation of federal projects and programmes of developing the concerned industry sector. The research involves the following research methods: theoretical analysis, the study of scientific and methodological literature and other sources, legal and regulatory documents regarding the topic of research. The study is carried out at sports infrastructure facilities in the Sverdlovsk region, namely ice arenas built and commissioned under the Agreement between the Government of the Sverdlovsk Region and UMMC-Holding LLC. It has been noted that one of the most promising mechanisms for the development of the industry’s infrastructure is public-private partnerships. Using the example of the Agreement under consideration, some aspects of the impact of PPP implementation on the sector of physical culture and sports in the region have been analysed, namely the growth in the number of people involved in hockey in the region (people): in 2017 - 16,258, in 2018 - 22,677, in 2019 - 24,155), the number of functioning ice arenas: starting from 2017 (the beginning of the implementation of the Agreement), 11 ice facilities were built and commissioned in the Sverdlovsk Region, 7 of which were implemented under the Agreement. (the beginning of the Agreement), 11 ice arenas were built and commissioned in the Sverdlovsk Region, of which 7 were built under the Agreement. Efficiency in terms of the promotion of a certain sports discipline at a regional level, and in terms of increasing the number of sports practitioners is attainable through the systematic, strategic implementation of development areas, and is dependent on long-term cooperation.
