“…The authors found that all research participants are supporters rather than opponents. Ma et al (2013) examined the perceptions of Kaohsiung (Taiwan) residents toward the 2009 World Games. The residents were divided into "neutral," "moderately positive," and "positive" one month before the games and "neutral" and "moderately positive" three months after the games.…”

“…Studies in the first category (e.g., Gursoy et al, 2011;Kim et al, 2006;Lee et al, 2013;Lorde et al, 2011;Ritchie et al, 2009;Waitt, 2003) primarily focused on the perceptions of residents toward the impacts of mega-events, whereas studies in the second category (e.g., Boo et al, 2011;Deccio & Baloglu, 2002;Gursoy & Kendall, 2006;Kim & Petrick, 2005;Ma et al, 2013;Müller, 2012;Prayag et al, 2013;Zhou & Ap, 2009) investigated the perceptions and attitudes of the residents toward mega-events simultaneously.…”

“…For instance, Kim and Petrick (2005) selected the last week and three-month post-event period in their study of the 2002 FIFA World Cup. By contrast, Kim et al (2006) selected three months lead and lag in their study of the same event, Ma et al (2013) Given the long-term influence, a short-time lag may be considered insufficient because in most cases, mega-events usually have long-term rather than short-term effects on their host country (Lorde et al, 2011). Generally, two or three years are needed before residents' perception of the costs and benefits will be identified; thus, collecting data two or three years after the event is the better approach (Gursoy et al, 2011).…”

“…The recognition, support, and appeal of the local community have been identified as the success factors of a particular event (Jeong & Faulkner, 1996). Previous mega-events that were studied include the America's Cup held in Australia between 1986 and 1987 (Soutar & McLeod, 1993) and in New Zealand between 1999 and 2000 (Barker, Page, & Meyer, 2002), the FIFA 2002 World Cup in Korea (Kim, Gursoy, & Lee, 2006;Kim & Petrick, 2005), the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 in Barbados (Lorde, Greenidge, & Devonish, 2011), the Tour de France in 2007 (Bull & Lovell, 2007), the 2009 World Games in Kaohsing (Taiwan) (Ma, Ma, Wu, & Rotherham, 2013), the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow (Martin & Barth, 2013), and so on. Previous Olympics have also been investigated, such as the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta (Mihalik & Simonetta, 1998;, the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City (Gursoy & Kendall, 2006), the 2000 Olympics in Sydney (Lenskyj, 2002;Waitt, 2003), the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi (Müller, 2012), and the 2012 Olympics in London (Prayag, Hosany, Nunkoo, & Alders, 2013) and in its partner cities Weymouth and Portland (Ritchie, Shipway, & Cleeve, 2009).…”

“…While existing studies primarily consider the importance of local pre-event support (Boyko, 2007;Deccio & Baloglu, 2002;Ma, Ma, Wu & Rotherham, 2013;Pappas, 2014;Ritchie et al, 2009), little attention has been paid to the spatial influence on support. If new event infrastructures and facilities are of general utility to residents, 2 then residents living closer to the facilities may be more likely to benefit from the event or the infrastructure remaining afterwards, than those living far away.…”

Does Distance Matter? Geographical Distance and Domestic Support for Mega Sports Events

Residential support is one key multiplier that increases the probability of a positive outcome of mega events. Especially pre-event support seems important since hosting the event often requires public consensus. Within the discussion of determinants of pre-event support, the distance between a resident's home (district) and the event area has been neglected so far. To explore the spatial nature of event support, representative survey data (n=900) from the 2016 Olympic Games is analysed using ordered probit and spatial autoregressive models. Estimates reveal a lower probability of high support for residents living close to the main event area. Moreover, the rate of marginal changes in the probability of support decreases with decreasing distance to other areas. JEL: C51, D84, L83, R12

Contemporarily, the hosting of mega-sport-events (MSEs) is one of several strategies used by cities and governments to bring about improvements in a place's image and recognition. With that in mind, the overall aim of this study, underpinned by theoretical-methodological social representation theory, was to evaluate the domestic image impact of hosting the 2012 Summer Olympic Games for the city of London, and in doing so, whether any image-transfer (or cobranding) processes occurred between the place and event. In addition to adding to the emergent body of work aimed at using social representation theory to measure place image, the authors are among the first to employ a matched-sample research approach to measuring the impact of an MSE on the domestic perceptions of the host. Employing an abductive research strategy, a survey was carried out among the domestic English population (n=156) to identify cognitive and affective image components, in the form of social representations, of London as a city (or its place brand), the Olympics as a MSE, and the 2012 Games as a oneoff event. The content and the structure of the pre-and post-event social representations were established (using image elements cited by at least 15% of the respondents), analysed (using hierarchical cluster analysis) and then compared (within-and between items) to determine whether any changes or image transfer occurred. The findings of this research reveal that the pre-event concerns regarding the hosting of the London 2012 Olympics and the potential of the event to negatively impact the city's pre-established image, were, to a degree, fulfilled. Conversely, from an event perspective, respondents perceived the Olympics as a somewhat successful enterprise.
