This emerging industry has been managed to attract the attention of many stakeholders from other industries by influencing other industries. Sport Tourism is also considered as a part of tourism that is created as a combination of sport and tourism, and is growing at a rapid rate and becoming a major and independent industry. One of the problems of the tourism in Iran, including Isfahan, is the imbalance in spatial organization and lack of hierarchy based on the interaction between tourism areas.Leveling of tourism infrastructure in different areas of a city and a balanced distribution of infrastructure and moderating inequality in different areas are of the important tourism development actions.

For data collection, statistics of Isfahan was used. The results showed that districts one, three, seven, eight, ten, eleven, twelve, fourteen and fifteen have poor level of development, and districts two, four, five, nine and thirteen have average development and only district six has high level of development
