Abstract
Objective: In the present study, the position of the sports industry in the Iran economy and its relationship with other economic activities are investigated.
Methodology: The present study is analytical and descriptive in terms of method and practical in terms of purpose. The method of data collection is by library and the position of the sports industry is investigated by complex networks. The nodes in this network represent the economic activities and the weight of the edges that connect the nodes according to the input-output table determined and then by using the centrality criteria the position of the sports industry in the Iran economy examined.
Results: According to the results, the sports industry is ranked 1st for betweenness and 2nd for in-closeness. The results show that real estate had the greatest impact on the sports industry. Also, the sports industry has the greatest impact on the education sector.
Conclusion: According to the ranking for betweenness centrality, more industries need the sports industry to connect faster to each other. The in-closeness ranking of the sports industry also indicates that the sports industry can receive input from other industries in a shorter period of time. The impact of the sports industry on real estate is due to the use of halls and grounds for various sports. The impact of sport on education also shows the important impact of sport on the promotion of human capital.
