Sport can not only affect nature and landscapes, but can also give rise to other<br />environmental damage. With regard to this problem, the use of non-renewable<br />resources, the emission of harmful substances during the building and operation<br />of sports facilities, journeys to and from these facilities, and the production<br />and disposal of sports equipment all play a key role.<br /><br />Sports activities can cause critical damage to and endanger precious and vulnerable<br />locations. However, in terms of overall damage, sport tends to play a lesser<br />role compared to other causes such as agriculture, forestry, industry and<br />transport. In the analysis of conflicts between sport and the environment,<br />areas of overlap with other forms of land use must be taken into account.<br /><br />At the same time, sport is also affected by general damage to the environment<br />caused by other sources. Such damage includes, for example, a large number<br />of devaluated watercourses, e.g. as a result of hydraulic engineering, pollution<br />of soil and water and air. Thus, while sport can be an obstacle to issues<br />of nature conservation and environmental protection, the two conflicting areas<br />also have common interests.<br /><br />New approaches are required for resolving existing conflicts between sport<br />and the environment in the long term. This means, above all, orienting<br />conservation and utilisation concepts to the principle of sustainability<br />in line with the agreements reached at the Conference on Environment <br />Keywords: environment, sports, Quality<br />Prof Dr.Mazin Hadi kzar<br />Al-Mustaqbal University College<br />[email protected]
