The open data from the Estonian Sports Register is useful in studies focusing, for example, on the use of transport services, access to and use of sports facilities, general mobility patterns of residents, and the likelihood of interaction with other residents in different locations, particularly when the location or density of sports facilities is relevant to the research problem.

The Sports Register consists of four sub-datasets:

  1. Sports organizations sub-dataset, which includes information on the National Olympic Committee, sports federations, county sports associations, sports unions, and sports clubs (e.g., organization name, registry code, type of organization, membership in the Estonian Olympic Committee, address, geographic coordinates, number of participants);
  2. Sports schools sub-dataset (e.g., organization name, registry code, type of organization, membership in the Estonian Olympic Committee, address, geographic coordinates, number of participants);
  3. Sports facilities sub-dataset, containing information on sports objects and exercise locations (e.g., facility name, type of facility, owner information, year built, geographic coordinates, address);
  4. Coaches sub-dataset (e.g., coach’s name, county and municipality, year of birth, certificate number, certificate title, certificate validity period).

Some data (e.g., operational data of sports organizations, sports facility information) must be updated annually by data providers, while other data (e.g., coaches’ employment and certification information) must be updated within 30 days of any changes. The data is provided in XML and JSON formats.

Infotechnological Mobility Observatory

The research was conducted using the research infrastructure “Infotechnological Mobility Observatory” funded by the Estonian Research Council (TARISTU24-TK18)

Beneficiary: University of Tartu

Partners: Tallinn University of Technology, Tallinn University, Statistics Estonia

Period: 2014 - 2029

Brief description: Growing spatial mobility is one of the important changes in modern society, which is related to the topics of external and internal migration, urbanization, entrepreneurship, inequality and regional development. Up-to-date and high-quality data are needed to study spatial mobility. The goal of IMO is to develop an innovative data infrastructure supporting mobility research, integrating geographically and longitudinally diverse national statistics and innovative IT data sources.
