Objective: The aim of the current research was to investigate the spatial development status in four Olympic martial sports, wrestling, taekwondo, judo, and boxing.Methodology: The current research method was chosen as a mixed type (qualitative and quantitative). In order to identify the effective indicators in the spatial planning in championship sports, theoretical foundations and qualitative interviews with 28 elites knowledgeable about the research subject were used until theoretical saturation was reached. In the quantitative part, in order to weight sports land development indicators, the analysis hierarchy method (AHP) and the numerical taxonomy method were used to identify the state of spatial planing in combat sports, and according to the development factor, the provinces of the country were prioritized in each of the sports fields.Results: Data analysis showed that only 14.6% of the country's regions are developed in Olympic martial arts, and 85.4% are less developed or undeveloped. Also, wrestling has the best development status with 25.8%, and taekwondo has the worst development status with 0.06% among Olympic martial arts.Conclusion: Therefore, in order to win more Olympic medals, it is necessary to focus more on 14.6% of developed provinces, and among martial arts, more attention should be paid to wrestling, boxing, judo, and taekwondo, respectively.

Objective: Inequality and imbalance in the development procedure of provinces is the foreground of inequality in the social, economic and cultural contexts. Therefore, it is expected that sport as a sociocultural phenomenon, like other sectors, has an unequal and imbalanced development procedure. This study is aimed to analyze the procedure and changes in the development level of Iran's provinces competitive sport. Methodology: This study is descriptive and analytic which has reviewed the development procedure of competitive sport of provinces between the years 2006 to 2012 by using 48 indicators. The statistical population was embraced all Iran’s provinces and the statistical sample was equal to statistical population and consist of 31 provinces which were in Iran’s countr divisions in 2012. Factor analysis was used to calculate mixed indicators and cluster analysis was used to determine the level of sport development of provinces. Results: The study of development procedure of competitive sport revealed in 2006, that the level of competitive sport development of 8 percent of provinces was high and 6 percent of them were deprived and disadvantaged, while in six-year era, with increasing trend, the ratio of developed provinces in 2012 had changed to 43.3 percent, and the ratio of disadvantaged provinces had changed to 40 percent. Conclusion: with consider to competitive sport development unequity in the country provinces, it is recommended that in future plannings and strategy codifications of competitive sport, priority of allocation of resources must be allocated to the periphery and perimeter provinces till in addition to preventing the migration of athletes and active human resources in sport in deprived provinces, to create the background of further promotion on this level of the sport in the country and to be success in international and worldwide competitions.
