Creating sport venues and their availability for the city residents is an important factor in the physical health of citizens. The availability indicator to city services appropriate to population features is one of the most important indicators of achieving social justice. Accordingly, the present research investigates justice in the distribution of sport venues in Shahrekord. The present study, is based on the practical objective and descriptive and analytical nature of this case study.The data collection procedure of the present study is the library method (documentary method) and the information has been assessed using AHP statistical data. The findings of this research illustrate that there is a great difference between the neighborhoods of Shahrekord regarding access to sport places and Kuy-e police neighborhood (۰.۳۱۲), Goudal Cheshme (۰.۲۲۳) were found to be the most densely populated neighborhoods and Sarcheshmeha (۰.۰۱۹) and Borom pahne (۰.۰۲۵) were found to be the least densely populated neighborhoods. Goudal Cheshmeh (۰.۳۱۲) and Farhangian (۰.۲۲۳) were recognized as the best neighborhoods in terms of access radius and Chahr Mahal (۰.۰۱۹) and Borom pahne (۰.۰۱۹) were recognized as the worst neighborhoods in this regard. In fact some neighborhoods were ranked higher than standard level while the more recent neighborhoods suffered from a shortage of sport facilities. Therefore, more attention must be paid to new urban planning so that simpler access and more equitable distribution of sport venues will be possible in the future.
