“…For Jorgensen (2015), an artist can be an »interlocutor for social change,« and for Markusen and Gadwa (2010) also a substantial contributor to the ascent of the cultural industry. It is due to its catalytic potential that art is often integrated in urban revitalization programs through initiatives on various scales -from flagship, prestige and internationally renowned projects to smaller communal revitalization initiatives (Hall and Robertson 2001;Dragićević et al 2015;Rembeza 2016). Gastronomy and food have been recognized as catalysts as well: catalysts for improved cultural understanding (Santich 2007) and economic development, especially tourism (van Westering 1999), the food industry (Richards 2002) and the creative industry (Hurtado Justiniano et al 2018).…”

This paper examines the integration of gastronomy in the creative place-making process. The study is based on the interviews with the organizers of five gastronomy events: a cooking workshop, a gastronomy festival, a series of gastronomy events at museums, a gastronomy theatre performance and an intimate dinner event. The contextual analysis shows that gastronomy events can contribute to five important features defining quality of place: diversity, liveliness, innovativeness, creativity and openness/tolerance. The final phase of our study brings comparison with findings in art-based place-making studies and discusses on diversity, integration in development policies and replicability potential of analyzed gastronomy events.

“…There is no doubt that the economic impacts of festivals are important, but the social impacts may have an even more profound effect upon the local community's everyday life (Delamere 1998;Fredline et al 2003). However, recently there has been growing interest in studying the non-economic impacts of the events on residents in academic circles (Arcodia and Whitford 2006;Bagiran and Kurgun 2013;Dragićević et al 2015;Loots et al 2011;Robertson and Wardrop 2012). In this respect, Deery and Jago (2010) stated that understanding the social and environmental impacts of events became both a practitioner and academic priority.…”

“…Events are one of the fastest growing segments of tourism industry that yield profound impacts on economy, environment and society at the individual level, the community level, and the regional level. (Arcodia and Whitford 2006;Bagiran and Kurgun 2013;Dragićević et al 2015;Getz 1997;Loots et al 2011;McDonnell et al 1999). Since festivals are not dependant on the natural resources and cultural heritage of the destination, they can be developed more easily than other forms of travel and tourism.…”

“…Recent research on the ECoC event that includes host city residents' perceptions and associations has commonly focused on the event's social benefits (e.g. Dragi cevi c et al, 2015;Liu, 2016;Van der Steen and Richards, 2021; Zili c Fi ser and Ko zuh, 2019) and cities' branding and images (e.g. Farmaki et al, 2019;Kova ci c et al, 2021;Liu, 2015;Richards and Wilson, 2004;Shukla et al, 2006).…”

“…Therefore, it is evident that the social impacts of the event were mainly discussed, while other types of impacts, including economic or environmental impacts, remained neglected. Considering the relevant literature on local people's perception of the ECoC event's social aspect, authors have shown that among the most highly perceived social benefits of the event are the promotion of the host country (Dragi cevi c et al, 2015), increased quality of life, enhanced image and cultural legacies (Liu, 2016) and development of a sense of community pride ( Zili c Fi ser and Ko zuh, 2019). However, after reviewing existing IJEFM 13,2 literature on the ECoC event, the need to investigate residents' perception of all three aspects of the event's sustainability has emerged.…”

PurposeThe primary purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects on support for the European Capital of Culture (ECoC) project development of residents’ perception of the project’s sustainability, emotional solidarity toward tourists, community attachment and brand trust.Design/methodology/approachSurvey research was conducted among 303 residents of Novi Sad, which has been selected to be the ECoC for the year 2022.FindingsThe findings confirmed the positive roles of three aspects of the event’s sustainability and three facets of emotional solidarity in shaping local people’s support for the ECoC event development. Besides, findings show the positive effect of residents’ community attachment and ECoC brand trust in predicting their supportive attitudes for the event development. Finally, results highlight which areas of the event’s sustainability are still unsatisfactory from the residents’ perspective, making it easier for event practitioners to optimally focus their attention and resources on enhancing problematic areas of the event’s sustainability.Originality/valueThe present study contributes to existing tourism literature as it is the first to explore the role local people’s perception of event sustainability, emotional solidarity toward tourists, community attachment and brand trust plays in their support for the ECoC event development. In addition, a unique contribution lies in the confirmation of brand trust as a significant antecedent of residents’ support, as this relationship remained an unexplored area in tourism literature. Practical implications, specifically derived for ECoC event practitioners, which should also find their place in securing residents’ support toward the development of any cultural event that attracts visitors, are discussed in the paper.
