ABSTRACT

With the promotion of the national fitness strategy, the construction of the public sports service system in Gansu Province has made certain progress, but it still faces many challenges. Based on new public management theory and new public service theory, this study conducts an in-depth examination of the current situation of Gansu's public sports service system using methods such as literature review and surveys. The study finds that Gansu Province has made preliminary achievements in policy and regulations, sports organization construction, and physical fitness monitoring, but there are still issues such as insufficient financial investment, uneven resource allocation, lagging development of community sports instructors, and inadequate sports facilities. To address these problems, the following recommendations are made: accelerate the reform of sports organizations, improve sports information service levels, strengthen financial support and legal guarantees, increase financial support for underdeveloped areas, reasonably plan sports facility construction, promote the balanced development of the sports service system, and ensure that all residents of the province enjoy a higher level of public sports services.
