چکیده انگلیسی

This research article sought to review and refine the concept of social anchor theory (SAT) through sport facilities. According to this conception of SAT, organizations and/or institutions can contribute to the development of the overall community through two components: social capital and collective identity. This notion is supported across diverse literatures including architecture, sociology, public administration and urban development. While considerable research on sport facilities is primarily centered on them as physical, financial, political and economic structures, a dearth of research explores the role of the facility as a social anchor and its roles within both formal and informal community development. Our conclusions suggest that sport facilities are, indeed, viable social anchors within communities and community networks. Further, they are capable of maintaining a collective image or creating a preferred image for both community members and a fan nation. Finally, based on this information, municipal investment into sport venues should not be strictly looked at as a vehicle to produce economic returns.

► Refined Social Anchor Theory (SAT) through sport facilities. ► Highlighted social capital and collective identity as critical features of SAT. ► Sport facilities are sources of social capital within communities and fan nations. ► Sport facilities create image for community and fan nations to share. ► Municipal investment of sport facilities should consider positive externalities.
