| Abstract | ||
| The purpose of this study was to determine the factors affecting sustainable development in mountaineering. The research method is exploratory and applied in terms of its purpose, and 150 mountaineers from the centers of the northwestern provinces of the country were selected by purposive sampling. The face and content validity of the research instrument was confirmed by a group of experts, and its constructive validity was confirmed by factor analysis based on structural equation modeling. Based on orthogonal rotational heuristic factor analysis, 34 items were categorized into eight factors that accounted for 52.44 of the variance of sustainable development. It is noteworthy that the results of confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha coefficients supported the eight-factor structure of the 34-item questionnaire and confirmed its validity and reliability. The results of this study and the extractive dimensions of the tool show the factors affecting sustainable development in mountaineering sports and the results also can help mountaineers to pay more attention to some of the aspects of sustainable development in mountaineering and mountainous areas. | ||
