  1. Using Innovative technology for planningAssociate Professor Rochelle Eimer.eime@federation.edu.au

  2. Sport Participation in Australia • Problem: • Lack of integration of sport participation data with other data • Lack of systematic use of data to inform decision making • Lack of national sport participation data • Data: Access Integration Analysis Knowledge • Solution • Integration of data • Analysis to inform program and policy development at organisational and national level • Goal: • more active, more often

  3. Sport and Recreation Spatial • Innovative use of latest technologies, GIS mapping capabilities and research to generate knowledge and insight for the sport and recreation, health and education sectors. • Data collection, data integration, statistical analysis, data visualisation via geographical information system (GIS) programming and mapping, and dissemination of knowledge • Provides increased capacity for strategic planning and development of participation programs and facilities

  4. Critical factors for sport and recreation Participants Health Population Facilities

  5. 4 key areas • Participation levels and trends • Influences on participation • Value of sport: the health benefits of participation • Places to play: the nexus between facilities and participation

  6. Range of data • Leisure time physical activity data- 10 years • Sport participation data- SSA’s- up to 5 years • Player, coach and official • Over 2.6 million records to date • Sport and recreation facility data • Population demographics • Population projection data • Health data • Physical activity levels • Education

  7. Sports • AFL • Tennis • Netball • Basketball • Cricket • Hockey • Lawn bowls

  8. Outputs • GIS- Organisations directly use GIS to spatially visualise and analyse • Sector-wide data • Their own data • Derived and customised indicators • Research • Individual research summary reports • Sector level peer review publications • Examples: • Participation trends over time • Participation age profiles • Facility provision • Attrition/drop-out • Transition from modified sport program to competition

  9. Technology • OpenLayers, Mapserver, Mapcache and a spatially enabled database to dynamically generate choroplethmaps. • In excess of 190,000 possible map combinations by use of the following data aspects: • Year (2000-2013) • Age Group (5 yr, 10 yr, 15  yr, 20 year, Custom) • Gender (Male, Female) • Participant Club (5000+) • Participant Program (40+) • Coach Level • Umpire level • Region type  (Postcode, LGA and SA4) • Data Metric (Total participants/coaches/umpires, Participation Rate (Percentage of region population, Change from Previous year)
