Gli spazi dello sport tra forma ed evento: prolegomeni a una geopedagogia

The essay’s objective is to define the relationship between space and geography as a human and social science, highlighting how the space of sport is, in fact, a geographical space. The geography of sport investigates geographical space as a geo-symbol embedded in an environ ment and a landscape. The essay will show how the space of sport is not only an environmental space but also a “place” that carries with it the signs of the process of human anthropization. In a complex context such as the current one, it is necessary to recognize the multiplicity of functions of the sports space and its social, educational, and political dimensions. Hence the need to interpret and understand in the perspective of form and event the space of sport to allow, for example, harmonization of sports architecture, making it capable of inserting the sport in a geo-ped agogical context rich in social and educational meanings and respectful of the environment and nature
