In the qualitative section, statistical samples based on theoretical saturation (20 people) were interviewed by snowball method and 50 indicators were extracted. 35 indicators were confirmed after four stages of fuzzy Delphi method. Questionnaires obtained from the qualitative section were categorized by exploratory factor analysis and variables were identified. The statistical sample was estimated based on a sufficient number for modeling in pls software at 10 times of the dimensions drawn in the concept model, and 350 people were determined based on 35 hidden variables. According to the results of this study; Sport has a variety of development and peace goals for development and peace: attracting young people to education, employment and training, promoting conflict resolution and peaceful relations in communities, empowering women and promoting gender equality, and contributing to the social participation of persons with disabilities, promoting health education, efforts to reduce homelessness and reducing criminal activities, urban violence and crime.
