The exercise proposed in work processes and in Evaluation Process includes a link to the reality focused on structures, organizations and Space and Sport Facilities' problems. It starts with the establishment of a doctrinal framework to address contextual issues identified in Space and Sport Facilities, focused on citizenship, sportsmen and Sport System in general needs. It addresses the main rationales tools in the decision-making processes and the challenge increases in policies of Sport Facilities and Sport System. It addresses also the published Legislation (national and specific) and rules of good practices in its use. |
