TRANSCRIPT
Sport Participation in Australia• Problem:
• Lack of integration of sport participation data with other data• Lack of systematic use of data to inform decision making• Lack of national sport participation data
• Data: Access Integration AnalysisKnowledge
• Solution• Integration of data• Analysis to inform program and policy development at organisational and national level
• Goal: • more active, more often
Sport and Recreation Spatial• Innovative use of latest technologies, GIS mapping
capabilities and research to generate knowledge and insight for the sport and recreation, health and education sectors.
• Data collection, data integration, statistical analysis, data visualisation via geographical information system (GIS) programming and mapping, and dissemination of knowledge
• Provides increased capacity for strategic planning and development of participation programs and facilities
Critical factors for sport and recreation
Participants
Health
Population Facilities
4 key areas
• Participation levels and trends• Influences on participation• Value of sport: the health benefits of
participation• Places to play: the nexus between facilities
and participation
Range of data
• Leisure time physical activity data- 10 years• Sport participation data- SSA’s- up to 5 years
• Player, coach and official• Over 2.6 million records to date
• Sport and recreation facility data• Population demographics• Population projection data• Health data• Physical activity levels• Education
Sports
• AFL• Tennis• Netball• Basketball• Cricket• Hockey• Lawn bowls
Outputs
• GIS- Organisations directly use GIS to spatially visualise and analyse• Sector-wide data• Their own data• Derived and customised indicators
• Research• Individual research summary reports• Sector level peer review publications• Examples:
• Participation trends over time• Participation age profiles• Facility provision • Attrition/drop-out• Transition from modified sport program to competition
Technology• OpenLayers, Mapserver, Mapcache and a spatially enabled database to
dynamically generate choropleth maps. • In excess of 190,000 possible map combinations by use of the following
data aspects:
• Year (2000-2013)• Age Group (5 yr, 10 yr, 15 yr, 20 year, Custom)• Gender (Male, Female)• Participant Club (5000+)• Participant Program (40+)• Coach Level • Umpire level • Region type (Postcode, LGA and SA4)• Data Metric (Total participants/coaches/umpires, Participation Rate
(Percentage of region population, Change from Previous year)
