The Youth Olympic Games
Author: Dag Vidar Hanstad
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134471335
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
The first summer Youth Olympic Games (YOG) were held in Singapore in 2010 and the first winter Youth Olympic Games in Innsbruck in 2012. The IOC hopes that the YOG will encourage young people to be more active and that they will bring the Olympic movement closer to its original founding values. This is the first book to be published on the Youth Olympic Games. It critically examines the origins of the Games and the motives of the Games organisers, as well as the organisation and management of the Games and their wider impact and significance. The first part of the book discusses the relationship between the YOG and the ideology of Olympism, in the context of broader developments in youth sport competitions. The second part investigates a wide range of managerial aspects including the bidding process, finance, the prominent role of young people on the organising committees and as volunteers, the role of media and sponsors, and the distinctive competition structure. The final part of the book assesses the current and likely future impact of the YOG on the host cities and countries, the IOC and on national youth sport policies. The Youth Olympic Games is essential reading for any researcher, advanced student or policy maker with an interest in Olympic Studies, sports development, sport policy, youth sport or event management.

Methodological Advancements in Social Impacts of Tourism Research
Author: Manuel Alector Ribeiro
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1003804470
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
This book offers a fresh perspective of on some of the cutting-edge methodological approaches being used among scholars conducting work on social impacts of tourism. These works are international in focus, spanning across Europe (e.g., Austria, Croatia, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, and Turkey) and Asia (e.g., Hong Kong, Iran, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Turkey). The authors employ qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods designs and some of the notable focus areas include comparative studies of residents’ perspectives of tourism (i.e., involving impacts of various forms of tourism and community children’s perceptions of tourism); statistical techniques such as multigroup invariance analysis and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis; and the employment of novel measurement tools such as the implicit association test involving residents’ implicit stereotypes of visitors from multiple countries and the utilization of the human-scale development to identify residents’ needs and satisfiers. This edited volume will most assuredly advance the methodological focus of research on social impacts of tourism moving forward. This book will be of great interest to all upper-level students and researchers in tourism, planning and related fields. The chapters in this volume were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Sustainable Tourism.

Resident Perceptions of the Socio-economic Legacy Left by the Rio 2016 Olympic Games

ISBN:
Category : Olympic Games
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This study seeks to examine Rio de Janeiro residents' perception of the socio-economic impacts left from hosting the Rio 2016 Olympic Games after a full Olympic cycle (i.e., 4 years). For the first time in history, the Olympic Games were hosted in a country in South America, however the selection of Rio as the host for the 2016 Games follows an uprising trend of emerging countries (i.e., BRICS) being selected to host the Olympic Games. Thus, this study aims to add to the broader literature of mega sporting events impacts on emerging countries, by introducing a long-term analysis approach. Based on the concepts of the social exchange theory (i.e., SET) and of the temporal construal theory (i.e., TCT), this study proposes a necessity to have more residents' perception studies of mega-events impacts being conducted after a full Olympic cycle. The results show that Rio de Janeiro residents perceived hosting the 2016 Olympic Games as having mostly a negative impact on their socio-economic life, since 24 out of the 31 items being analyzed had a lower average than four (M
