Research On The Collaborative Governance Of Sports Health Promotion For The Elderly In My Country From The Perspective Of Stakeholders

The aging of the population has become a challenging reality encountering China's social development in the new era.It has had a profound and sustained impact on the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way.These effects involve the country's economic development,social pension security,individual medical expenses and so on.Therefore,it deserves attention from government,social organizations,enterprises and the public.As an important regulator of building a national health foundation and alleviating the pressure of medical expenditures,sports should make a difference in promoting physical and mental health of the elderly,alleviating social security pressure,maintaining social stability and development,and giving full play to its social function and livelihood value achieved by promoting the elderly's health.Of course,the premise is to clarify specific issues such as the interest relationship,working mechanism,and predicaments in health promotion by sports for senior citizens in China,based on which a practical path of optimizing its development can be explored.This paper takes "how to optimize health promotion by sports for the elderly" as the core issue.And it gives a systematic analysis of health promotion by sports for old people based on collaborative governance theory and stakeholder theory with methods including literature overview,expert interviews,comparative analysis,etc.First of all,The paper applies the collaborative theory to the optimization of health promotion by sports for old citizens premised by explaining the logic relationship between old people's health promotion by sports and the collaborative theory based on the analysis of the specific problems extracted from the historical evolution and status quo of this course.Second,since the key of collaborative governance is multiple participation,the paper tries to put forward solutions that can balance interest of all parties based on stakeholder theory.Specifically,the paper first identifies the stakeholders and main subject of health promotion by sports for the elderly in China and then analyzes their interest relations and conflicts.Third,developed countries has been experiencing population aging years ahead of China,and they have make many useful explorations in the health promotion by sports for old citizens.By extracting and analyzing their practical measures together with regional features,the paper try to figure out a global path for the health promotion by sports for the elderly,which offers reference and enlightenment for this study.At last,aiming at optimizing the collaborative governance of health promotion by sports in China,the paper clarifies the concept of this course and constructs relative mechanisms and finally provides a practical and realistic development path for China's health promotion by sports for the elderly on the base of theory study and experiences from other countries.The study believes that:(1)Benefits are the core of all social activities of human beings and the driving force for social development.Based on social construction,health promotion by sports for the elderly is a practice guided and regulated by government and participated by multiple parities.The whole practice is directed by interest pursuit which leads to a series of problems including the structure division,the complicity and security insufficiency of interest.(2)Collaborative governance advocates joint participation,decision-making and action of multi-stakeholders with consensus,which makes it necessary to identify the stakeholders of health promotion by sports for the elderly in China first.This paper comprehensively applies the Delphi method and other research methods to identify the stakeholders in the health promotion by sports for the elderly in China,and divides them according to the Mitchell score method as the following: responsibility-oriented stakeholders represented by government departments,partnership-oriented stakeholders represented by social organizations,equity stakeholders represented by the elderly and their families,and commercial stakeholders represented by enterprises.(3)The key that generates problems lies in the conflict between the interest pursuits of participants and the current governance system.And the conflict roots in the constraint of both its history and reality as well as the failing of meeting its stakeholders' reasonable interest demands.And these constraints have become the biggest obstacle to the health promotion by sports for the elderly in China.(4)Health promotion by sports for the elderly in other countries generally attaches importance to the satisfaction of the interests of all parties involved,and advocates the participation of multiple subjects.It's worthy to learn from their practical measures applied in system insurance,planning and designing,mechanism coordination,resource supply,environmental support and volunteer service.(5)It is necessary to pursuit a logical and regular development by adhering to the concept of people-centered,sustainable development and joint construction,governance and sharing when we advance collaborative governance and practice optimization in the course of health promotion by sports for old citizens.In view of the goal of this course as well as the complexity of its internal and external interest,the health promotion by sports for the elderly in China should start with main-subject cultivation,organization cooperation,policy insurance and culture reshaping under a framework consisting of a cooperation mechanism premised by multi-subjects,motivation mechanism aimed as interest sharing,operation system focusing on joint construction and insurance system emphasizing on interest constraint.
