“…Mega-events promote cultural activities (Dyer et al, 2007), have a societal lasting effect on tourism for residents (Kang & Perdue, 1994), attract considerable attention to the locality (Deccio & Baloglu, 2002), provide considerable opportunities for cultural exchange between hosts and guests (Besculides, Lee & McCormick, 2002;Kang, Lee, Lee & Li, n.d.), strengthen cultural values and traditions (Lorde, Greenidge & Devonish, 2011), improve the perceived quality of policing (Pizam, 1978), create a greater potential to entertain local people (Andereck & Nyaupane, 2011), and motivate individuals to become more active with both, the society and the event itself (Potwarka, 2015).…”

“…The positive environmental impacts of megaevents include restoration of the destination's landscape (Kim, Gursoy & Lee, 2006), preservation of the man-made and physical environment (Lorde et al, 2011), reformation/development of recycling and pollution control (Allen, O'Toole, McDonnell & Harris, 2005), development of policies for the reduction of greenhouse emissions (Collins et al, 2009), implementation of waste avoidance and water-use minimisation measures (London 2012(London , 2005, enhancement of locals' environmental consciousness (Kim et al, 2006), and the remediation of previously spoiled areas, for use by events (Collins et al, 2009). These findings led to the following hypothesis:…”

Even if the participation of locals is limited in mega-event decision-making, their support is crucial to the event's success. Using Social Exchange Theory, the study examines the extent to which community participation and perceived impacts affect residents' support of mega-events. Implementing a structural model, the examination is based on the combination of two pieces of research undertaken before and after the London Olympics. Findings confirm the importance of perceived benefits and costs in community support. They also reveal the increase in positive perceptions after the event, the strengthening of community participation willingness and residents' support, and provide an understanding of the role of perceived success in perspective formulation. Moreover, the study uses an explanatory model for the visualisation of the findings.Keywords: community participation, perceived impacts, mega-events, residents' attitudes, support model 2 INTRODUCTIONThe participation of locals in mega-events decision-making strongly influences the host community's support for further development (Gursoy & Kendall, 2006). This support in event related activities extends community participation and increases the willingness of locals to act as hosts in the foreseeable future (Pappas, 2014). Still, the participation of locals in decision-making is often limited due to: instructions for decision-making in governing systems (Eshlinki & Kaboudi, 2012), institutional and cultural constraints, resource property rights arrangements (Li, 2006), coordi nation problems amongst stakeholders (Grabher & Thiel, 2015), and the outdated incentives given to residents for the realisation of benefits over time (Suich, 2013).Support of the community in furthering tourism development has a significant influence on tourism planning policies (Yu, Chancellor & Cole, 2011), especially with regard to large-scale events since they heavily influence the life and the power relationships amongst locals (Frawley, 2015). Locals are likely to be positive and enthusiastic about hosting large-scale events such as the Olympics, since they perceive that their quality of life will be improved (Zhou & Ap, 2009). Still, megaevents may engender some participatory initiatives for the local community, but in general, decision-making and planning allow little input from local residents (Lamberti Noci, Guo & Zhu , 2011), whilst the more democratic approach to megaevent planning is surely more difficult to implement (Pappas, 2014). Consequently, the benefit asymmetry produced by mega-events historically hinders the diffusion of collaborative planning and community participation (Matheson, 2006). before and after mega-events. Taking into consideration the perspective that attitudes before, during and after the event could be significantly different (Gursoy & Kendall, 2006), the aim of the paper is to examine the extent to which community participation and perceived impacts affect residents' support of mega-events; more specifically, the London Olympics. Through the cr...

“…Wang & Pfister, 2008). Some have traced residents' opinions over time using longitudinal approaches (Getz, 1994;Lee & Back, 2006;Ritchie, Shipway, & Cleeve, 2009), while others have added novelty by concentrating on sectors that contribute indirectly to tourism, such as the casinos (Lee & Back, 2006;Lee, Kang, Long, & Resisinger, 2010) and events (Cheng & Jarvis, 2010;Fredline & Faulkner, 2002; S. S. Kim & Petrick, 2005;Lorde, Greenidge, & Devonish, 2011;Ritchie et al, 2009;Yang, Zeng, & Gu, 2010;Zhou, 2010). Zhou (2010) suggests that research into resident perceptions of locally hosted events have tended to focus on one-off megaevents such as the Olympics, the FIFA World Cup, and world exhibitions (Lee & Taylor, 2005;Waitt, 2003;Yang et al, 2010).…”

Public investment in convention centers represents a relatively common approach to stimulating economic development in many large cities throughout the world. The rationale is that metropolitan authorities can thereby attract business tourists and promote positive (business friendly) images of their locality. Although the economic dimension of such spending has received some attention, especially by consultants, there has been little theorizing or empirical research that has examined residents' perceptions of such development. This is in sharp contrast to examinations of resident perceptions of leisure tourism, which has witnessed extensive academic interest. This article analyzes residents' perceptions of the Busan Exhibition and Convention Centre in South Korea. Distance decay theories, geographic decay, and cognitive decay are used to inform the analysis. The findings indicate that increasing residents' engagement with, and knowledge of, convention centers is likely to engender positive perceptions of their impacts. It is suggested that urban policymakers in many parts of the world could learn from this study and should take residents' perceptions into account when financing and managing convention centers.

“…Coates and Humphreys (2002) also found that local residents felt the additional traffic, noise, and increased garbage were too high a price to pay for whatever benefits they may obtain by living near the event facilities. In addition, a body of related literatures have discussed other societal and cultural problems including law enforcement strain (Jennings & Lodge, 2011;Ritchie, Shipway, & Cleeve, 2009), unfair relocation of local residents (Lin, 2012;Smith & Himmelfarb, 2007), antagonism between visitors and local residents because of different standards of living, economic status and purchasing power gaps (Tosun, 2002), and negative image of the host city or nation as a result of inadequate facilities or improper event procedures (Dwyer et al, 2000;Lorde, Greenidge, & Devonish, 2011;Walton, Longo, & Dawson, 2007). Additionally, for example, there is a possibility that hosting mega sporting events may damage the image or reputation of the host city or nation as a result of inadequate and poor quality of event facilities and improper operational procedure (Ritchie, 1984).…”

Abstract:The study examined how newspaper articles have framed the 17th Incheon Asian Games 2014, in regard to the different issues covered, sources cited, positive and/or negative externalities frames, and the relationship between issues and sources. A total of 625 Korean nationwide and local newspaper articles covering the Asian Games during the 9-year period between April 7, 2005 and September 18, 2014 was analyzed in terms of three aspects of framing: (1) the types of issues highlighted, (2) the sources of information cited, and (3) the ways in which either possibilities of positive or negative externalities depiction were used. The results of the current study reveal that "political issues" (e.g., administrative and/or political conflict among central government, host city, and local residents, participation of North Korea national team) except "factual information of the event" (e.g., schedules, results, athlete performance, history) were the most commonly highlighted, "administrators" who are the government agencies preparing the Asian Games were the most frequently cited sources of information and the frame of "negative externalities" was more employed than the frame of "positive externalities" in newspapers of the Asian Games. This study regarding media coverage of the mega sporting event identifies how mass media agencies influence their target audience using framing theory and especially provide extensive analysis of media coverage of the Asian Games to date, which could serve as a groundwork for further studies of media framing theory.
