For this purpose, after gathering theoretical foundations and interviewing the experts in the fields of sport places management and sports psychology, target items were identified, were compiled in the form of a questionnaire, and were distributed among 350 Tajik citizens. The results of the second-order exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis showed that form, light, space, harmony, and color of sport places are the most important aesthetic dimensions of sport places in attracting Tajik citizens to sports, respectively
