| Summary: | Introduction The size, number, capacity, characteristics and quality of the areas where sports activities can be carried out in universities are among the leading indicators of student investment.
Objective: To determine the interest and attitudes of university students in the Western Black Sea region towards sports, their level of utilisation of university sports facilities, and whether university sports facilities significantly predict students' interest and attitudes towards sports.
Methodology: The classification and regression tree method (CART), one of the data mining methods, was used through a relational screening model. Data were collected from 1462 associate and undergraduate students (789 males and 673 females) studying in different departments of 7 universities in the Western Black Sea Region in 2022-2023 with two scales of Ceyhun (2015, 2017).
Results: It was determined that the areas where university students do sports, their level of interest in sports, their age, class level, duration of doing sports and their active participation in sports affect their level of utilisation of sports facilities.
Discussions: It was observed that the level of interest in sports of female university students was higher than that of males, and the level of interest in sports of students who do sports was negatively correlated with the duration of doing sports.
Conclusion: The efficient use of sports facilities, one of the main factors of sports participation in universities, is directly proportional to the university's facilities and individual factors.
