Abstrak

This study aims to analyze disparities in access to sports facilities and infrastructure among schools and to compare the condition of sports facilities between schools in urban and suburban areas of Makassar. Methods: This study employed a descriptive-comparative quantitative approach using observation, documentation, and questionnaires. The study subjects were 40 schools (20 urban schools and 20 suburban schools) selected through stratified random sampling. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and descriptive statistics. Results: The results indicate that schools in urban areas have a significantly higher sports facility availability index (M = 74.3; SD = 8.7) compared to suburban schools (M = 41.6; SD = 11.2), U = 48, p < .001, r = .72. The most striking disparities were found in the ownership of multi-purpose fields (urban 85%, suburban 25%), swimming pools (urban 40%, suburban 5%), and fitness equipment (urban 70%, suburban 15%). Implications: These findings underscore the urgency of implementing sports education budget redistribution policies that prioritize suburban schools, while also serving as an empirical reference for the City of Makassar’s sports infrastructure development programs. This article contains 5 tables, 2 figures, and 35 references.
