The scale, which consists of five-point Likert scale 42 items, was administered to the local audience following 2011 Erzurum 25. Winter Universiade. The subjects of the study were 412 people (55 % male and 45 % female), who were chosen through random sampling method. Explanatory factor analysis, applied to determine construct validity of the scale, revealed a construct with 36 items and 8 factors. The internalconsistency reliability coefficient for the whole study was found 0.917. The findings showed that internal consistency reliability of factor items had an item / total correlation coefficient ranging between 0.50 and 0.85. The results were discussed in terms of the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the scale. %K Mega Evet Impact %K Validty %K Reability %K Sport Organization %U http://psbd.pau.edu.tr/index.php/pjss/article/view/87/pdf
