Abstract :
The purpose of the present study is to investigate and compare sport safety in public and non-public universities of Golestan (Iran). An applied causal-comparative research method is used. The statistical population consists of all sports facilities of public and non-public universities located in Golestan . A facility safety inspection checklist is used for which research reliability is calculated by Cronbachʹs alpha test (? = 0.87). Data are collected from sports facilities and analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques.. The results show that there is no significant difference between public universities (213.63) and non-public universities in safety. Also, there is no significant difference for safety in sport buildings between public universities (109.08) and non– public universities (106.94). Despite of such insignificancy, the acquired scores reveal that public universities are better than non-public universities for sport safety. . However, a significant difference is achieved for safety in sports equipment and facilities among public (179.45) and non-public universities (164.80). The result indicates public universities may be better than non-public universities for safety in sports facilities.
