| So far,looking around the world,China has become the only country with more than 200 million elderly people.The ageing trend facing China is now grim.Elderly sports in the community is an important means to deal with aging.Although the construction of elderly sports in the community has always been on the way,it is undeniable that our current system still has such problems.Especially in terms of management systems,operating mechanisms,etc.,these problems are a stumbling block to the advancement of elderly sports in our community.This study used documentary materials,questionnaires,and interviews to study the management of elderly sports organizations in the community in Zibo City.The study was conducted from four aspects of management institutions,management policies,management services,and management systems,and field survey interviews were conducted.The statistics and analysis of data using mathematical statistics method concluded that the problems existing in the management of elderly sports organizations in the community in Zibo City are as follows:(1)Older people have a higher awareness of sports activities and a stronger demand for sports activities.However,in the specific services,there are lack of formal management personnel,insufficient funds,and few venues for elderly people.(2)There is no policy support for the old-age sports management organizations in the grass-roots community,and there is no requirement for rigid indicators.There is insufficient guidance,supervision,and evaluation for the elderly sports in the community.(3)Most of the activity organizations are self-organized and lack professional guidance,leading to difficult organizational activities.(4)Streets and neighborhood committees are scattered and have little service.The street and neighborhood committee system does not meet the objective needs of urban community sports management.The following countermeasures are proposed for the above problems:(1)It is necessary to enrich the channels for propaganda of sports activities for the elderly in the community,and provide professional training for the elderly in sports activities for those who organize and manage senior sports in the community.The means of raising funds for management of elderly sports in the community must be diversified.The government has incorporated the construction of sports facilitiesinto the urban construction plan.(2)The grassroots community’s senior sports management functions should be strengthened.The government should cultivate and support the government to open the door to the community’s self-governing elderly sports organizations,and cultivate and support their self-management.To diversify the development of community sports for the elderly,organizations should diversify their footwork and play their role in managing their own organizations.(3)The government’s focus on the elderly sports in the community should be shifted to establishing regulations,establishing systems,and comprehensively coordinating.We should do a good job in enriching the services provided by the elderly sports organizations and instructors,so that the entire supervision network for community aged sports organizations can be continuously improved.(4)The community old sports organizations may organize the management and management networks of community senior citizens’ sports according to the four management levels of “Articles,Blocks,Films,and People” to form a new type of community-based senior citizen sports management system that combines “pieces together” and “one based on one”. |
