Sports Turf Management Survey: Climate Change & Environmental Challenges

Dear Sir or Madam, please take a few minutes of your time to complete the following questionnaire.


Hello,

We are economics and sustainability students conducting research on how climate change and environmental challenges affect sports turf maintenance.

Climate change and environmental challenges have made sports turf management increasingly complex and demanding, both in terms of maintaining game quality and safety, and in conserving resources such as water, fertilizers, and routine maintenance.

The purpose of this research is to understand the main challenges in sports turf management, current maintenance methods, and the key needs of maintenance managers and stadium operators.

This survey is anonymous, and the data will be used for research purposes only.

Thank you for your participation!
