The data collection tool in the qualitative part was a semi-structured interview, and in the quantitative part, it was a 9x9 square matrix. For the validity and reliability of the results, the strategies of believability, transferability, verifiability, process audit study and intra-subject agreement of two coders were used. Qualitative data analysis was done with two stages of initial coding and focused coding, and quantitative data analysis was done with interpretive structural modeling and Mick Mac analysis. The findings showed 9 behaviors compatible with the sustainable development of sports destinations, based on the interpretive structural analysis, the relationship between the behaviors was categorized into 5 levels, and based on that, a hierarchical relationship model was created that shows the sustainable development of sports destinations through the reduction of resource consumption.
