Abstract:

This article shows how some regional economics tools, which are not very well known, can be used in the field of sport. The first part consists of a short summary of the location analysis models. In a second part, we show on a case study, that computable location models can be used to determine the optimal location of sporting facilities in the context of intercommunity. To conclude, some extensions are suggested from a theoretical point of view as well as for empirical applications.
