Tiivistelmä
The aim of this development project was to implement the updating process of the Strategy of Health related Sport of Päijät-Häme 2020. This development project aimed to make visible the whole updating process and all results of it, as well as to be a tool to develop the health related sport and sports in general in the area of Päijät-Häme.
The previous existing strategy has earlier been implemented with good results. Despite this, there was a need for a large-scale clarification and updating so that it would respond better for today's needs. The updating process was divided into different phases which are called “the steps” in this thesis. In total there were three main steps in which both qualitative and quantitative methods were used.
The goal of step 1 was to identify the strategy and make strategic analysis. This was made in three phases. The goal of step 2 was to define the updated strategy. There was a significant amount of analyzed data from step 1. Based on those results and all the information which was gathered, the defining of updated strategy was done. The goal of step 3 was to implement in detail the updated Strategy of Health related Sport of Päijät-Häme 2020.
As a result of the updating process the Health related sport vision 2020 was born and five spearheads of the strategy were:
1. Sports venues: Working environment and well-maintained sports venues inspires the residents` exercising in Päijät-Häme.
2. Sports services: There are comprehensive and flexible sports services in Päijät-Häme. Self-movement is encouraged and people who are exercising too little are activated to active lifestyle.
3. Active lifestyle of children and young people: Children and young people have an opportunity to grow up in a sporty environment and practice comprehensive sport.
4. Health related sport expertise and training: Päijät-Häme provides health related sport knowledge and training at the highest level in Finland.
5. Communication of health related sport: Positive and supportive communication of health related sport reach the residents in Päijät-Häme.
In addition of the spearheads, there are objectives and proposed actions in the updated strategy, as well as issues to be taken into account.
