“…The US data were collected by Dr. Brown and colleagues from communities in Alabama, Massachusetts, Mississippi, andUtah between 1990 and2007. Data collection was carried out by trained interviewers or research assistants through face to face interviews, phone interviews, and/or mailed questionnaires. For detailed descriptions of the US data see Brown et al (1998), Brown et al (2000), Cope et al (2015), and Goodsell et al (2008). The Southeast Asian portion of our data was collected through survey interviews in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and Chiang Mai, Thailand.…”

To what extent does community experience differ between low context and high context societies? Prior literature theorizes that community experience consists of two separate, yet highly related concepts: community attachment, an individual’s general rootedness to a place, and community satisfaction, how well an individual’s community meets their societal needs. We test this conceptualization of community experience across communities in the US and two Southeast Asian nations: Thailand and Vietnam. We argue that Southeast Asian nations constitute “high context” societies with relatively high social integration and solidarity while the US is more individualized and less socially integrated and thus constitutes a “low context” society. Our results provide empirical evidence that individuals’ experience of community varies between low and high context societies. These results demonstrate that cultural context continues to matter in regards to the lived experience of community and researchers need to remain vigilant in accounting for such differences as they seek to examine the concept of community more broadly.

“…Most studies use the raw number of years resident in the community to measure length of residence, but doing so conflates the effects of length of residence and age, which we also control for (see Goodsell et al 2008;. While age is relatively strongly associated with years of residence (r ¼ .454, p < .001), its association with proportion of life in the community is weak (r ¼ .061, p ¼ .016).…”

“…Because time in a community has been shown to affect feelings towards the community [57,62], we created a "length of residence" variable by dividing respondents' reported age by the reported number of years living in their current community. Reported as a percentage, responses ranged from zero to one.…”

When Event Social Sustainability Is Tarnished by Scandal: Long-Term Community Perceptions of the 2002 Winter Olympics Bid Scandal and Legacy

Due to the increasing number of events around the world, event sustainability is an area of research relevant across disciplines. Research has found that event sustainability encompasses economic, environmental, and social legacies. However, events may face unforeseen challenges, sometimes even major scandals. How do these scandals impact residents and the sustainable legacy of the mega-event? As a historical case study, we explore social aspects of event sustainability in the wake of the 2002 Winter Olympics bid scandal, where it was reported that the Salt Lake Olympic Committee (SLOC) bribed members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to secure votes in favor of Salt Lake City hosting the 2002 Winter Olympic. Despite the bribery scandal, the Salt Lake City Games were considered a success by the media and members of the SLOC and IOC. Specifically, the present study investigates local residents’ perceptions of the scandal before, during, and after the Olympics using data gathered from 1999 to 2018 in Heber Valley, Utah. We find that time is a significant predictor of residents’ feelings toward the scandal. Further, feelings towards the Olympics, community desirability, race, and biological sex are also significant predictors. These findings lead us to conclude that the effects of the scandal on the Olympics’ sustainable legacy fade away over time.
