“…As rapid economic growth may lead to a reduction in life quality for marginalized residents, economic opportunity and the provision of better public service should be focused on vulnerable neighborhoods (Gehl, 2011). By combining the perspectives of the social benefits of sport (Coalter, 2007b) and the notion of livable cities (Gehl, 2010), Pye et al (2015) proposed that sport-based urban planning should consider both economic and social benefits, such as physical and mental health; economic development and sustainability; community development; crime reduction and community safety; and education and employment.…”

How to enhance community resilience to natural disasters is a major question for researchers and policymakers. Although researchers agree that sport generates community benefits, few scholarly efforts in sport management have been invested in understanding the sport–resilience association. This paper attempted to address whether and how sport clusters—the clustering of sport industries—are associated with community resilience across locations. To achieve this, geographically weighted regression and visualization techniques were applied to macro-level data regarding community resilience and the clustering of 13 separate sport industries across 3,108 counties in the contiguous United States. The results indicate that, overall, the clustering of eight sport industries was significantly associated with community resilience and demonstrates the existence of spatially heterogeneous associations in magnitudes and signs of community resilience in sport clusters. The findings of this paper have the potential to help community sport scholars and policymakers implement location-specific resilience policies through sport industry development.

“…With regard to premenstrual syndrome (PMS) the evidence points to the benefits of exercise, with less strenuous forms of non-competitive exercise most effective [12,13,14,15,16] Economical Sports changes image of cities attracts tourists and encourages inward investment. They also provide a case study of Manchester commonwealth Games showing how the Games provided a clear economic boost for the area [17,18,19,20]. The economic impact of major sports events, Sports industry research center in 2006 reviews impact of 10 major sports events and concludes that both direct and indirect benefits ensue viz direct from tickets sales, visitors, local development projects, media right etc and indirect from sport development, feel good factor of local population , local image enhancement [21,22,23].…”

“…In the past few decades, domestic and foreign researchers created many different mathematical models to simulate and predict future land-use development, such as the system dynamic model [3,4], Markov chain model [5], cellular-automata (CA) model [6], accelerating the modernization and internationalization of the host city. It also promotes a great transition of Hangzhou's urban planning and development from the West Lake Era towards the Qiantang River Era [28,29]. The land use of the city, however, faces multiple contradictions in terms of rapidly developing the economy and speeding up the urban construction while simultaneously protecting ecosystems and increasing green space.…”

Mega-sports events have a profound impact on promoting the urbanization process, optimizing the urban spatial structure, and improving the competitiveness of the host city. Taking the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 (AGH) as an example, we used remote sensing data and a scenario-based model to simulate land-use changes and developments from 2005 to 2025. By setting two scenarios, natural development and AGH-driven development, we explored the impact of AGH on urban development and its driving factors. The results show that (1) cultivated land areas decreased by 369.96 km2, while construction land areas increased by 488.33 km2 among the main land-use types in Hangzhou from 2005 to 2020. Urban areas quickly expanded with the West Lake as the center. (2) Urban sprawl intensity under the AGH-driven scenario is expected to increase by 0.91% compared to in the natural-development scenario, indicating that hosting AGH would accelerate the expansion of urban land, particularly in districts set with sports venues such as Binjiang, Xiaoshan, and Yuhang. The strategic trend of supporting the Qiantang River is obvious. (3) Under the influence of AGH, the centroid of urban construction land shifted towards the southeast, and the spatial direction was remarkable. The construction of venues and supporting facilities, and construction land for public rail transit, are the main direct driving forces of urban expansion. The AGH enhances the pace of urbanization, significantly altering the urban spatial structure and helping the city achieve a major transition from the West Lake Era to the Qiantang River Era. Furthermore, our research can provide insights into other cities that will host mega-sports events.
