The Norwegian Sports Index is an overview of sports activity and facility coverage in Norwegian municipalities and counties. Sports facilities are crucial for sports activity, and therefore the construction of facilities is also a central part of Norwegian sports policy.
The Norwegian Sports Index shows the relationship between facilities and activity in Norwegian municipalities and is thus a unique knowledge base for local sports policy.
The reports we produce are interactive and available on the website www.idrettsindeks.no. Here, you can find activity and facilities within a range of categories, as well as information about municipal spending, satisfaction with sports offerings, the number of employees in sports, and membership numbers in various outdoor organizations.
Telemarksforsking offers subscriptions to regional reports for counties and municipalities. The reports are well suited to describe local sports and can be of great help in the preparation of plans, reporting, and more.
