UČENICI I SPORT: KOMPARATIVNA ANALIZA OBALNOG, ZAGORSKOG I OTOČKOG PODRUČJA ŽUPANIJE SPLITSKO-DALMATINSKE
SPORT AND STUDENTS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF COASTAL, ZAGORA AND ISLAND AREA OF SPLIT-DALMATIAN COUNTY

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with some of the results of a survey done in 2004 and 2005 among the students of secondary schools of the Split-Dalmatian County on the position of sport within their leisure time. The results of the analysis uncover that sport is one of the very significant student activities, but not the most significant one (it is in fourth place, and attending sport events is in the eighth place in students’ leisure time). The position of sports and attending sport events in students’ leisure time significantly differs among different areas of the County: coast, islands and Zagora. While sports hold the highest position in the hinterland (second place, and attending sport events in third), on the coast they are in fifth and sixth, and on the islands in ninth and eleventh place respectively. There are differences among students of different areas regarding the most preferred sport. Although soccer is the most preferred sport in all areas, the percentage of soccer lovers is twice as high on the islands than in other two areas. Besides soccer, the most preferred sport in the coastal area is basketball, and in the Zagora athletics. The results indicate the necessity for a differential sport policy in different parts of the County.
