Impacto social de un gran evento deportivo: el Gran Premio de Europa de Fórmula 1. (Social impact of a major athletic event: The Formula 1 Grand Prix of Europe)

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyse the residents´ perceptions of the impact of the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Europe after the first three races (2008, 2009 and 2010) in the city of Valencia. Therefore, we surveyed 1,065 residents to analyse their opinion of this event. Results indicate that aspects related to the economic benefits, the image, the athletic prestige, and opening the city up to the world are those which are rated the highest. However, aspects related to job creation, public investment, problems related to noise and traffic, public transportation and security, taking full advantage of and utility of infrastructure, and increase in sports practice and facilities are the worst rated. There were significant differences according to gender, age, residence and interest in the sport. Results of this study provide useful information for future planning and organization of major sport events.

“…Studies based on the relationship between sports and tourism have historically focused on the size of the sport involved in the tourism and the impact this symbiosis has on promoters (tour operators) and participants (Weed, 2009). Other studies studied the importance of tourism activities, such as holding sporting events in the host locality (Añó, Calabuig & Parra, 2012) and the socio-economic impacts of these events (Fernandez-Alles, 2014, González- García, Parra, Calabuig & Añó, 2016).…”

Anàlisi sobre el grau de coneixement pels tarragonins de la candidatura als Jocs Mediterranis de Tarragona el 2017 i sobre el grau d’identificació amb aquella

“…No obstant això, molts d'aquests estudis s'han desenvolupat després que l'esdeveniment hagi estat concedit al país, regió o ciutat. Així, trobem estudis que analitzen les percepcions dels residents sobre els grans esdeveniments esportius abans de celebrar-se (Bull & Lovell, 2007;Ritchie, Shipway, & Cleeve, 2009;Zhou & Ap, 2009), després de la seva celebració (Añó, Calabuig, & Parra, 2012;Añó, Duclos, & Pablos, 2009;Ohmann, Jones, & Wilkes, 2006;Zhou, 2010) i fins i tot de caràcter longitudinal (Balduck, Maes, & Buelens, 2011;Fredline, Deery, & Jago, 2005;Kim & Petrick, 2005;Kim et al, 2006;Guala & Turc, 2009;Gursoy, Chi, Ai, & Chen, 2011;Lorde, Greenidge, & Devonish, 2011;Mihalik & Simonetta, 1998;Rit chie & Aitken, 1984, 1985Ritchie & Lyons, 1990;Soutar & McLeod, 1993;Twynam & Johnston, 2004;Waitt, 2003), en els quals s'analitzen els canvis en les percepcions dels residents amb el pas del temps. No obstant això, no hi ha gaires estudis que analitzin l'opinió o la percepció social dels residents sobre la presentació d'una candidatura a un gran esdeveniment esportiu.…”
