“…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. Research on these concepts has been growing (Case, 2013;Goldblatt and Goldblatt, 2012;Mair and Jago, 2010;Pernecky and Luck, 2012). For example, Mair and Jago (2010) define event greening as an investment in environmental friendly facilities and practices.…”

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.

“…The theme of the World Expo 2015, "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life", revolves mainly around environmental sustainability. Literature on the role of CES in managing event impacts is virtually absent (Case, 2013;Getz and Page, 2016;Holmes et al, 2015).…”

“…O'Brien and Chalip (2008) therefore advocate that the triple bottom line can be applied strategically to event planning and implementation. With this in mind, the ETIS offers an opportunity to apply a triple bottom line approach to maximizing the benefits of events in Ireland while minimizing the negative consequences that can be created Similarly, experience has also shown that it has become visually evident that event activities create negative impacts to the environment (Gursoy and Kendall, 2006;Collins, Jones and Munday, 2009;Jones, 2010;Case, 2013). As a consequence, it is essential that event impacts are managed to preserve the quality of the environmental resource base upon which events depend.…”

Purpose Events are a significant component of Ireland’s tourism offering. They are an important source of economic activity and an incremental driver of social change and development throughout the country. However, the visual and physical impacts often created by event activities to the environmental and social resource base upon which, events depend, have begun to draw attention to the way events are planned and managed. Although the concept of sustainability has become the topic of much discussion and debate in event management literature, there exist many gaps in relation to its practical application in event management planning in Ireland. This is despite the statutory obligation of local authorities in Ireland to license events and to facilitate the process of planning for large-scale outdoor public events in Ireland. Yet, with the continued expansion of Ireland’s event industry, there is a fundamental need for an evidence-informed approach to planning for event management. Through the application of the European tourism indicator system (ETIS), the long-term sustainability and competitiveness of the national event industry in Ireland could be secured. This paper aims to examine and discuss the application of the ETIS as a possible tool to facilitate greater levels of sustainability and accountability within the events industry in Ireland. Design/methodology/approach This study used a quantitative content analysis approach involving a complete population sample of local authorities in the Republic of Ireland to determine the application of the ETIS within the legal process of planning for event management in Ireland. Findings While the findings have identified a basic provision for event management within a number of local authority legally required County Development Plans, none, however, were using the ETIS to monitor the impacts of events at the local level. This lack of data collection and benchmarking highlights the need for greater levels of sustainability and accountability within the legal process of planning for event management in Ireland. Originality/value This study suggests the ETIS as an easy, cost effective and viable solution to facilitate an evidence-informed approach to planning for event management at the local level. However, the lessons learned from this study may also have implications for destination planners and event managers outside of Ireland.

“…Más concretamente, la rCe es un impulsor del dividendo artístico o efecto multiplicador de la Cultura en la economía de una zona (Markusen y King, 2003;Florida, 2012). Secundariamente, la rCe también responde a preocupaciones medioambientales, puesto que actividades como el turismo cultural o los eventos culturales masivos tienen repercusiones medioambientales importantes (Case, 2013;Dimmock y Tiyce, 2000). Un 80 % de las empresas del ibex 35 asume alguna clase de rCe (Cejudo y Rodríguez, 2016).…”
