  • Athletes As Tourists: Consumer Behaviour of Participants at the 2007 and 2009 World Universiade Games
    PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORT. STUDIES AND RESEARCH DOI: 10.2478/v10141-011-0007-7 Athletes as Tourists: Consumer Behaviour of Participants at the 2007 and 2009 World Universiade Games Douglas Michele Turco 1, Dimitra Papadimitrou 2, Serkan Berber 3 1 Drexel University, Philadelphia, USA 2 University of Patras, Rio, Greece 3 Anadalu University, Eskişehir, Turkey ABSTRACT Considerable research has been devoted to sport mega-events including the Olympic Games, the FIFA World Cup, and the Commonwealth Games. Yet few studies have focused on the lesser known or “second tier” international sport events in order to understand the patterns and the impact of participant consumption. Further, few sport event studies are extended beyond a single assessment. This study examines a recurring sport event, the World Universiade Summer Games, that took place in two different countries, Belgrade, Serbia and Bangkok, Thailand. A profile of participants at the 2007 and 2009 Universiades was generated to reveal and compare their consumer behaviour in the host cities and over time. Subjects were queried on-site during selected days of competition (N=441, 2007; N=221, 2009). Findings demonstrate a remarkable consistency in participant characteristics and local spend from 2007 to 2009, though the amount spent per night was considerably less than the average per night spend by other types of tourists in the host countries, suggesting that Universiade athletes are non high-value tourists. Discussion and implications of findings to sport and tourism destination scholars and marketers are presented. KEYWORDS sport tourism, mega-events, World Universiade Games Introduction The summer Olympic Games and the FIFA Men’s World Cup are the two largest sport mega- events on the planet in terms of media audience, production costs, impact, etc.; all other events pale in comparison.

CHENG ABSTRACT: This study considers the conditions under which China’s massive internal migration and urbanisation have resulted in re - latively governed, less contentious, and yet fragile migrant enclaves. Shenzhen, the hub for rural-urban migration and a pioneer of market reform, is chosen to illustrate the dynamics of spatial contestation in China’s sunbelt. This paper first correlates the socialist land appropriation mechanisms to the making of the factory dormitory and urban village as dominant forms of migrant accommodation. It then explains how and why overt contention has been managed by certain intermediate agencies in the urban villages that have not only provided public goods but also regulated social order. It ends with an evaluation of the fragility of urban villages, which tend to facilitate urban redevelopment at the expense of migrants’ living space. The interplay between socialist institutions and market forces has thus ensured that migrant enclaves are regulated and integrated into the formal city.

  • Hot Events in Sina Weibo
    1 Analyzing user behavior of the micro-blogging website SinaWeibo during hot social events Wanqiu Guan1 Haoyu Gao2 Mingmin Yang2 Yuan Li1 Haixin Ma3 Weining Qian3 Zhigang Cao2 Xiaoguang Yang2 (1 College of Engineering and Information Technology, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, 100049, Beijing, China) (2 Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 100190, Beijing, China) (3 Institute of Massive Computing, East China Normal University, 200062, Shanghai, China) (Emails: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]) Abstract The spread and resonance of users’ opinions on SinaWeibo, the most popular micro-blogging website in China, are tremendously influential, having significantly affected the processes of many real-world hot social events. We select 21 hot events that were widely discussed on SinaWeibo in 2011, and do some statistical analyses. Our main findings are that (i) male users are more likely to be involved, (ii) messages that contain pictures and those posted by verified users are more likely to be reposted, while those with URLs are less likely, (iii) gender factor, for most events, presents no significant difference in reposting likelihood. Keywords: social networking service; Micro blogging; SinaWeibo; hot social events; demo-graphic characteristics; Introduction Social Networking Service, growing at an astonishing rate in recent years, is an online service that inspires users to share their interests and activities, and hence build new or closer social relationships. Twitter and Facebook are the most popular worldwide Social Networking Service websites, while in China, SinaWeibo [1], a hybrid of Twitter and Facebook, is the most prevailing one.

  • Olympic Movement Or Diplomatic Movement? the Role of Olympic Games on Development of International Relations
    Journal of Sports Science 3 (2015) 186-194 D doi: 10.17265/2332-7839/2015.04.005 DAVID PUBLISHING Olympic Movement or Diplomatic Movement? The Role of Olympic Games on Development of International Relations Mahdi Shariati Feizabadi1, Fernando Delgado1, Mohammad Khabiri2, Nasrollah Sajjadi2 and Ebrahim Alidoust2 1. Department of Communication Studies and Theater Arts, University of Wisconsin River Falls, River Falls City, Wisconsin 54022, USA 2. Department of Sport Management, University of Tehran, Tehran, Tehran 1438, Iran Abstract: The Olympic Charter is categorized into three main sections: the IOC (International Olympic Committee), the IFs (International Federations) and NOCs (National Olympic Committees). Since the 1980s, the prominent functions of sport and in particular mega events such as the Olympic Games have been deeply analyzed by academic and political writers. Sporting mega events like the Olympic Games can produce lots of advantages: international branding and prestige, economic development, unity and cooperation, cultural exchanges and interactions, reduction in political isolation and sanctions, and so on. One of the most important legacies of Olympic Games for the host country/city is social cohesion, national pride and patriotism. For example, the success of Iran in the London 2012 Olympics resulted in heightened cultural identity and national prestige. Despite political and economic isolation resulting from international sanctions, Iranian athletes and coaches overcame obstacles to win four Olympic gold medals in “Mega Media Event” that is the summer Olympic Games. The present study demonstrates the interconnections between success in the Olympic Games and the development of nations. The data to support the analysis and arguments were gathered through public documents and interviews with sport diplomacy experts.

  • Supplementary Material for Multilateral Political Effects On
    Supplementary Material for Multilateral Political Effects on Outbound Tourism 1 Derivation of the Empirical Model from the Theoretical Foundation We explicitly incorporate the three mechanisms of political effects (country image, nationalism, and govern- ment intervention) into a gravity-like tourism demand model. The gravity model was initially transplanted into international trade literature (McCallum, 1995; Anderson & Van Wincoop, 2003) and later transplanted to international tourism literature (Kimura & Lee, 2006; Keum, 2010). In the traditional bilateral gravity model, tourist flow (퐹표푑) from origin country 표 to destination country 푑 is determined by the “masses” (푀) of the two countries (usually GDP per capita) and the bilateral distance (퐷표푑), multiplied by a constant 퐺. A log- linear transformation is usually used in empirical implementation: 훽 훽 푀 표푀 푑 퐹 = 퐺 × 표 푑 → ln 퐹 = 푖푛푡푒푟푐푒푝푡 + 훃′[ln 푀 , ln 푀 , ln 퐷 ]. (1) 표푑 훽표푑 표푑 표 푑 표푑 퐷표푑 There are essentially two types of factors on the right-hand side of equation (1): terms related to only one country (푀표, 푀푑) and terms related to country pair (퐷표푑). Morley et al. (2014) structurally derive this gravity equation from microeconomic behavior (known as “micro-foundation revolution” in macroeconomic litera- ture). We extend their bilateral and static framework to allow for both multilateral interdependence and inter- temporal dynamics. The former is derived theoretically, and the latter is formulated empirically. 1.1 The Theoretical Model with Multilateral Interdependence An individual (indexed by 푖) from an origin country maximizes his/her utility 푈(∙) by choosing the numbers of visit, 푓푑(푖), to a set of destination countries 푑 ∈ [1, 푁] under an optimally allocated tourism budget, which is a power function of his/her total income 푚(푖)—in other words, we assume a constant income elasticity (휇) of demand for tourism.
