“…In fact, it is on the environmental impact factors that most respondents disagreed that the festival generated benefits to the community. Again, this low rating of the environmental benefits of festivals is consistent with previous studies (Collins & Cooper, 2017;Gibson & Wong, 2011;Dolles & Soderman, 2010). Implications The findings and conclusions of this study avail the following implications: Organisers of the MTN Bushfire festival need to engage the community and other development stakeholders more closely if the event aims to make a more effective contribution to the livelihood of the local community.…”

“…Here, the focus was on understanding multimodal trips by the travelling public. From a sustainability perspective, Dolles and Söderman (2010) investigated the transportation systems during the 2006 Soccer World Cup and highlighted the role of railways. Finally, Mahoney and McMillen (2014) used a mixed-method approach to analyse the requirements for disability routes to Super Bowl locations.…”

Purpose Although logistics management is a crucial part of local and global sports events, there is no research-driven characterization of “sports logistics management”. The purpose of this paper is to conceptualize a framework that allows for a more structured recognition of logistics in sports, in general, and sport event management, in particular. In addition, we conduct a systematic literature review of sports logistics management and locate opportunities for future research both for sports management and logistics management scholars. Design/methodology/approach Guided by Durach et al.’s (2017) systematic literature review approach, we identify key attributes and characteristics of sports logistics management. These are based on studies featuring at least partial aspects of logistics management in sports and sport events, and that were published between 2000 and mid-2019. Findings The study reveals that sports logistics management – meaning logistics activities in sports and sport event management – is a heavily under-researched area that provides an abundance of scientific opportunities. Based on the three sport event types of local/regional sport events, major sport events and mega sport events, the authors propose four sports logistics management pillars that are central to the proposed Sport Logistics Framework: venue logistics management, sports equipment logistics management, athletes logistics management, and fan and spectators logistics management. Practical implications By providing a conceptual framework for sports logistics, the authors progress towards informing the sport sector on relevant strategic and operational levels of logistics management and set the stage for empirical studies that are likely to advance sport logistics planning and management. Originality/value This is the first study that builds on a systematic review of literature specifically focused on the logistics aspect in sports and sport event management. It provides a conceptual framework of sports logistics management and offers an agenda of future research opportunities.

“…Nonetheless, scholars have crafted and introduced reasonable measures and indicators of intangible impacts (Carlsen et al, 2001) and advanced a triple bottom line approach to event sustainability (Dolles and Söderman, 2010;Sherwood, 2007). Concepts such as the 'event footprint' (Fredline et al, 2005), 'event greening' (Mair and Jago, 2010), and the 'event legacy planning' (Thomson et al, 2013) have emerged in the tourism and events literature.…”

Purpose-This study examines residents' perceptions of environmental impacts and certification for the Milan World Expo 2015 as well as their overall attitude towards the mega event. Design/methodology/approach-A survey of Milan residents based on a convenience sample of residents in Milan led to 221 useable questionnaires. Findings-Residents perceived that the Expo will have minimal negative and positive environmental impacts. A minority of residents were aware of the environmental certification of the event. The less agreeable residents were with the perceived negative environmental impacts of the event, the more agreeable they were that a certification of event sustainability should limit the damage to the natural environment. Residents' perceptions of the certification were positively related to their overall attitude towards the event. Research limitations/implications-The findings cannot be generalized to other mega events but have several managerial implications in relation to the need for information provision to residents and better communication of the certification by event organizers and planners. Originality/value-Despite rising concerns about environmental issues related to hosting mega events, there is no research on perceptions of a certification of event sustainability by residents.
