Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the mediating role of the place attachment in the relationship between physical-environmental factors and the elderly’s motivation for physical activity (MFPA). It was a descriptive-correlational study, of structural equation modeling (SEM) type. The statistical population of the current study included all the elderly participating in Shahrud Health Road, of whom 350 were selected as a sample of the study. Hatami-Nejad et al.’s physical-environmental factors, Deci and Ryan’s sport participation motivation, and Kyle et al.’s place attachment questionnaires were used to measure the variables of physical-environmental factors, MFPA and place attachment, respectively. Data analysis was conducted using SEM in Smart-PLS 3.2.8 software. The results showed a direct significant positive relationship between physical-environmental factors and place attachment, as well as a significant positive relationship between place attachment and MFPA. Besides, there was a significant indirect relationship between physical-environmental factors and MFPA through the mediating role of the place attachment. However, there was no significant relationship between physical-environmental factors and MFPA. According to the findings of the research, it can be said that one of the effective factors in increasing the motivation of the elderly to participate in physical activity is paying attention to the environmental factors and, as a result, creating a sense of attachment to place in them.ReferencesAlimardani, M., Mohammadi, M., & Zibaee Farimani, N.
