A model for measuring the environmental sustainability of events

Pro-Environmental Behaviour of Attendees at a Major Sport Event in Cameroon

“…Sustainability in events, in the context of the present study, refers to the triple-bottom-line, in terms of which the related economic, social and environmental concerns are posited as being of equal importance and thereby as deserving of equal consideration in the planning and management of sport events (Fyall & Jago, 2009). The growing interest in sport event sustainability arises from the industry trends, including the globalisation of sport, which attracts substantial numbers of attendees to hosting destinations, the increase in the strategic leveraging of major and mega sport events, the global movement towards sustainability and subsequently the inclusion of sustainability principles in the bidding and hosting requirements of mega and major sport events (Dolf & Teehan, 2014;Pereira et al, 2014;Han et al, 2015;McCullough et al, 2015;Boggia et al, 2018;Casper et al, 2019) .…”

“…The present study extends the understanding of environmental sustainability by including consideration of the actions and behaviours of sport event attendees. The environmental sustainability of major sport events has become of importance to a number of stakeholders, ranging from sport event organisers and sponsors, to policymakers and sport event attendees (Bama & Tichaawa, 2015;Han et al, 2015;Boggia et al, 2018;Habitzreuter & Koenigstorfer, 2018;López-Bonilla et al, 2018;Minoli et al, 2018;Alonso-Vasquez et al, 2019;Casper et al, 2019;Chirieleison et al, 2019). McCullough and Kellison (2016) opine that an inquiry into environmental sustainability emerges from the inevitable impact of sport events on the natural environment, ranging from the construction of sport event facilities and stadia, as well as the subsequent operations, through to the travel-related implications of sport event attendees for the natural environment (Dolf & Teehan, 2014;Fekry et al, 2014).…”

Environmental Communication in Kaimana Regency (Descriptive Study on Conservation International(CI) Environmental Communication Activity in the Water Conservation Area of Kaimana Regency)

“…The role of environmental communication is crucial in supporting sustainable environmental [7], [8], [9], conservation in the watershed area of Kaimana since environmental communication is essentially protecting the richness of natural resources with its diversity and promoting its sustainability. The approach is holistic, which not only considers the environment solely as a resource provider that needs to be protected but also takes into account the socio-cultural conditions of the local society.…”

Developing a Harmonious Culture-Based Sustainable Event Model in Bali Tourism Village

“…Data collected were compared to green event theory (Glaser & Strauss, 2017) and data coding was conducted based on Miles & Huberman (1994). The qualitative result was used to build questionnaire consisted of three aspects, namely: green event that is in harmony with God, green event that is in harmony with human, and green event that in harmony with the nature (Boggia et al, 2018;Astawa et al, 2018;Raj & Musgrave, 2009;Leuenberger & Jungbluth, 2009;FAO, 2013). The questionnaire was previously tested to determine the validity and reliability of its items.…”

“…The research result explains that there are various indicators used to measure the environmental impact of an event. Indicators used to represent sustainability are location, energy, water resources, catering, promotional giveaways, materials, internal travel, waste management and participatory approach (Boggia et al, 2018).…”
