ABSTRACT
Dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Public Administration in specialty
“8D04113 – Public Administration” by Tyo Yelena Vasilyevna, Academy of
Public Administration under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, topic:
"Improving the state management of sports infrastructure in the context of the
development of mass sports in the Republic of Kazakhstan"

The relevance of the research topic. In Kazakhstan, sports and physical culture
are important areas of public health and the economy. Currently, Kazakhstan's sports
infrastructure system is undergoing intensive development, and for this purpose, the
government has adopted a Comprehensive Plan for the Development of Physical
Culture and Mass Sports for 2020-2025 (Government Resolution of the Republic of
Kazakhstan dated April 23, 2020, No. 242).
However, measures to develop sports infrastructure are necessary for all regions
of the country, as a shortage of accessible sports facilities with appropriate equipment
and inventory is observed everywhere. There are problems with expanding the
accessibility of sports infrastructure, including through the implementation of modern
digital technologies.
The particular relevance of studying the research problem is the gap in research
on improving state management of sports infrastructure, analytical materials, and
reviews on assessing the current state and prospects for the development of sports
infrastructure in Kazakhstan, which complicates the issue of developing

recommendations and proposals for the development of this industry. A number of
issues are also related to existing regulatory and legal acts, the level of socio-economic
development of regions in the country, and the current state of sports infrastructure.
International experience shows that a number of countries are developing innovative
approaches to managing sports infrastructure, and accordingly, in national practice in
the field of sports, there is a need for corresponding scientific research and the
development of tools to improve state management of sports facilities.
The level of scientific development of the research problem is high in the
field of improving state management, as there is a large number of publications in both
foreign and Kazakh literature. However, the analysis shows that scientific works
related to the management of sports infrastructure mainly focus on the conceptual
apparatus, measures of government bodies to develop sports facilities, and
understanding the importance of sports infrastructure for improving public health and
quality of life. In terms of the considered management models, it has been established
that there are various approaches. However, the effectiveness of tools and mechanisms
for managing sports infrastructure to achieve effective indicators of public involvement
in mass sports remains problematic. Therefore, in Kazakhstan, there is a significant
theoretical gap in scientific and experimental research aimed at studying the state of
modern sports infrastructure, assessing the needs of social groups in various sports,
including in urban and rural areas, as well as on how to improve state management of
sports infrastructure in the country.
The aim of this research is to develop innovative tools for state management
of sports infrastructure.
