Sports facilities are the basic assumption and the most visible part of every sports activity.
With its position, formatting, construction technology, used materials and processes of action and use, they are important element in the impact on the environmental sustainability as well as energy efficiency.
Comparative analysis of several specific sports halls in Croatia based on a critical review of the project programs, urban, economic and environmental indicators on the reality of purpose and capacity, with consideration of possibility of investors staffing and financial resources in optimal management shows all the disproportion in the application of the principles of sustainability.
It is suggested, with the application of the required legislation (standards – yesterday, nowadays, tomorrow), multidisciplinary-integrated approach to planning (development studies – Sport and Territory, Sport and Health, Sport and Education, Sport and Nature, Sport and Renewal of Society, Sport and City), design and implementation of sports infrastructure on the principles of sustainable development (costs in correlation with the material, time and energy while increasing safety and quality).
