“…As but one example, a recent study examining the extent to which sporting events encouraged attendees to participate in sports themselves noted methodological challenges around self-reporting, sample size and causality [25]. It is thus clear that these distinct literatures could potentially benefit from cross-communication.…”

Assessing the societal impacts of green demonstration homes: a Canadian case study

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: This article investigates the overall societal impacts of the REEP House for Sustainable Living (REEP House) in Kitchener, Canada. Methods: Available information on green demonstration homes (GDHs) is reviewed to identify their goals, past assessment practices and their impacts on different measures ranging from energy consumption to behavioural changes. From this, the need for a multicriteria framework for evaluating GDHs is demonstrated. Drawing upon the GDH experience, the broader impact assessment literature, knowledge gained from community-focused recreational events and information from open eco-homes, such a framework is developed.

“…Messages emerging from these literatures include the value of benchmarking and the potential utility of alternative methodologies [11][12][13][14][15]. With respect to the latter, Mair and Laing's Transtheoretical Model, for example, provides a framework for the purpose of determining the pathway to behavioural change [16].…”

“…Supplemental events as described in this article and linked to a major event, could play this role. Ramchandani, Davies, Coleman, Shibli, and Bingham (2015) listed factors identified from sporting events in the lead up to the London 2012 Olympics that had influenced sport participation. The most influential factors related to watching events on TV or attending them.…”

“…One approach to measure changes in participation in sports at the grassroots level could be to measure participation according to pathways, designed along the lines of TTM and that track a continuum of activities or programs for individuals from not playing the sport at all to playing regularly in competitive competitions (Vail, 2007). This would involve identifying a similar set of stages to those proposed by Ramchandani et al (2015). An example of how such a sporting pathway might be structured is that provided by Cricket Australia (http://www.play cricket.com.au/australian-cricketpathway).…”

Examining the Grassroots Participant Legacy of Major Sporting "Supplemental" Events

For a considerable time, major sporting events have been investigated to explore their "participation" legacy impact (effect on participation in sports at the grassroots level), often with mixed results. In this article, the authors propose an approach to examine not major events themselves, but adjacent, supplemental events, and whether such events can contribute to a participation legacy. The authors do this by developing a "grassroots participation ladder," built on the transtheoretical model, which has been amended to examine the stages of behavior between no involvement in a sport and ongoing sports participation. An initial test of the ladder is conducted via a case study of supplemental events conducted in conjunction with the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup and involving interviews with event participants to demonstrate how the ladder might be utilized. Results suggest that previous measurement methods have typically neglected a key constituent, which offers a new recognition of potential participation legacy benefits, and feeds back into suggested methods of planning more effective participation legacy activities in the future.

Sustainable development of non‐mega international sports events in a small town: Social impacts, residents' attitudes, and leveraging role of local government

The impacts of mega international sports events on host communities have attracted considerable scholarly attention, while few studies explored the impacts of non‐mega international sports events (NMISEs). Prior studies focus on economic impacts of hosting sports events, ignoring social impacts. This study interrogates the dynamics behind staging NMISEs in the small town of Cambridge, New Zealand, focusing on social impacts. It also examines the role of social exchange theory in explaining formation of residents' attitudes toward NMISEs. As findings indicate, Cambridge residents are supportive of NMISEs. They believe that hosting the events improves wellbeing. The local authority plays an important role in event planning and management. It was found that complementarity of social exchange theory and community attachment helps explain the phenomenon.
