“…Positive effects of hosting such events are also detectable at the individual level. Two studies have shown that South Africans perceived the FIFA 2010 World Cup to have increased community spirit, pride and wellbeing (Gibson et al 2014;Kaplanidou et al 2013). Similar results were found in Sydney after the 2000 Olympic Games (Waitt 2003).…”

Research on sport events and well-being yield inconclusive results with some studies suggesting that well-being is increasing during major sport events while other studies fail to establish such a relationship. The present study aims at investigating the relationship between sport events and life satisfaction more closely, while at the same time avoiding some methodical pitfalls of prior research. The study uses a representative sample from Germany and had a longitudinal design, covering the time before, during and after the UEFA EURO 2016. Findings demonstrate a significant increase in life satisfaction in Germany during the football competition (d = .17). Further analyses reveal that satisfaction with life is elevated particularly among subjects with a genuine interest in football in general and in the EURO in particular, whereas for those respondents uninterested in football, changes in life satisfaction were mostly insignificant and marginal in size. However, two months after the EURO life satisfaction was already on the decline and drifted towards the baseline level. Hence, the EURO did not produce a persistent change, but rather a short peak in life satisfaction among football affine groups.

“…Andereck et al, (2005) also found that quality of life creates motivation to residents to support tourism program. Kaplanidou (2013) found quality of life as a significant mediating variable between tourism impacts and increased residents' support on tourism program. Similarly, Neal et al, (2007) and Nunkoo and Ramkissoon (2010) also confirmed the quality of life influences to sustainability in tourism development and residents' support for tourism development.…”

“…Measure for quality of life includes satisfaction with local government services, satisfaction with local business services and non-profit services, satisfaction with community conditions, and satisfaction with other specific issues (Yu, 2011). In tourism research, single and multi-item questions have been developed to measure quality of life as an attitude toward tourism development (Kaplanidou et al, 2013).…”

ABSTRAK Semua daerah atau lokasi saat ini bersaing tidak hanya memperebutkan jumlah turis namun juga sumber daya ABSTRACTPlaces are competing not only to attract tourists but also working hard to win the scarce resources like investments, companies, talented residents, big events, etc. Tourism is one area which provides wide range of opportunities enable in attracting the scarce resources as well as having potential effect in developing other sectors. By researching the tourism sector, this research examines the relationships among quality of life, place attachments and residents' intention to support destination competitive strategies. Two hypotheses for direct relationships and one indirect relationship (quality of life -place attachments -intentions to support) were proposed. Residents were taken as respondent as they are the most that are affected by tourism strategies and policies. Questionnaires were distributed across 14 municipals in the city of Yogyakarta and 164 valid responses were collected. Purposive sampling method was used where respondents should be legal residents of Yogyakarta city. Using Partial Least Squares (PLS), it reveals that all hypotheses proposed are supported. Two direct relationships proposed were all significant and one indirect relationship with place attachments as mediating variable was also proofed to be significant. These mean that residents' quality of life and place attachments should become two components importantly considered when government, tourism marketers, or agencies are willing to be successful in their destination competitive strategies.

“…First, hard legacy (also known as tangible legacy, such as visitor impacts, buildings, new organizations and projects) and soft legacy (or intangible legacy, such as image enhancement, increased confidence, personal skills and the acquisition of new ideas) are fundamental to existing discussions (e.g., [3,9,15]). The hard or tangible legacy is easily measured and, therefore, attracts more attention.…”

Event legacy has become a major topic of discussion in recent years. Especially, European Capital of Culture is emerging as a means of facilitating community development in Europe. Based on a case study of the 2008 European Capital of Culture Liverpool, this article aims to conceptualise the relationship between an event and its sustained effects on community development. Methodologically, adopting case study as approach, both primary and secondary were collected and analysed, including four times neighborhood surveys, official evaluation reports and academic publications. The study period is from 2007 to 2015 to monitor changes in an event's impacts. The results reveal four dimensions of effects, including: cultural access and engagement, volunteering, governance and infrastructure, and sense of place. Overall, the study stresses the importance of integrating the event into a long-term development strategy of the city, through synergies between culture and urban regeneration and community renewal.
