Semi-structured in-depth exploratory interviews were utilized as a research instrument, and the statistical population comprised expert who were selected by purposeful sampling and snowball technique, and finally, saturation was reached at the level of the 12 participants. However, the sample recruitment continued up to 14 individuals to increase credibility and cover all components. The validity and reliability of the research were carried out according to the method of Goya and Lincoln (2000), which includes four criteria of credibility, transferability, dependability and confirmability. The combination of literature and interview identified 52 primary concepts (open code) and 8 main concepts or themes. The concepts were validated by 11 specialists using the lavshe style method, wherein 48 components were confirmed. finally, according to the results, 48 indicators in the form of 8 main factors (monetizing, transfer and privatization, laws and regulations, environmental, financial and economic, management factors, marketing, and predisposing factors) were provided for monetizing purposes through improving the productivity of educational sports places and spaces.
