Sport events are used more and more in both developing and developed contexts to promote development (especially economic growth), enhance social cohesion and healthy lifestyles and profile locations as tourist destinations. Associated with an increased number of sport events and academic interest is greater focus on legacies, that is, what are the likely impacts (both positive and negative) of sport events. There are a range of legacies associated with sport events that include economic, social, political, tourism, infrastructural and sport impacts. There is a tendency to focus on the economic and infrastructural impacts and social legacies are often neglected. This is particularly the case the bigger the sport events. Furthermore, there is increased debate in the literature about what constitutes a sport event legacy and how can they be encouraged and assessed. In terms of the latter, the importance of undertaking research on legacy impacts is highlighted and methodological approaches are debated. This article draws on the growing body of literature on sport events and legacies to examine social aspects, an under-researched component of legacy research, in relation to key debates and issues as well as methodological aspects. Given the recent successful hosting of Africa?s first mega-event, the 2010 F?d?ration of International Football Association (FIFA) World Cup, the article reflects on the social legacies associated with this event.

Full assurance of safety during mass events is a complex process, subject to provisions of generally applicable law. These provisions regulate in detail all basic obligations and requirements provided for this particular kind of events. However, in the course of time some of the regulations provided for in the Polish legal system gave rise to doubts about their specificity. In this paper the authors discuss and clarify the areas which are necessary to ensure the highest level of safety of sports events i.e. the circulation of information during the preparation, organization and execution phase of the event, organization of evacuation as well as cooperation of organizers with entities designated for protection. The study is of utilitarian character and it encourages extensive discussion related to the field of provision of safety during sports events.

Purpose
This study aims to develop a battery of items that assess the factors affecting sports events' success from the promoters' perspective and a measurement tool that identifies these stakeholders' main priorities based on the importance-performance analysis (IPA) framework.


Design/methodology/approach
The research was conducted using mixed methods. In the first qualitative step, sports event management's main dimensions were identified based on the existing literature and a comprehensive battery of corresponding items were developed via content analysis of interviews with experts. The second quantitative step focused on Lisbon, the 2021 European City of Sport. Promoters of 21 different medium or large sports events (number = 41 respondents) were asked to fill out a survey ranking each dimension's items by performance and room for improvement. The IPA's results are presented both for the overall sample and by promoter type (i.e. events with or without sports facilities).


Findings
The 46 items identified fall into the following three categories: sports infrastructure, city image and hospitality and event management (i.e. pre-event, event and post-event). Pre-event includes stakeholder management, organigram and responsibilities, business plan, marketing mix, risk assessment and sponsorship management. Sponsorship management stands out among the areas considered a priority by event promotors.


Originality/value
This study adds to the literature by offering a comprehensive approach to assessing empirically all stages of the event management process.

The article examines physical activities and sports events, its trends and peculiarities of state regulation in the St. Petersburg region in the conditions of modern political and economic reality. An original comprehensive approach to the study of problems in this industry is presented. Since the basis of management in the organiza-tion of sports and physical culture events is formed by legal regulation tools and personnel specialists from different fields, a legal analysis was carried out and regulatory regulators at the federal and regional levels were investigated, information on the personnel shortage was also structured for the first time based on the results of a sociological study, and a methodology for determining the main and additional personnel needs was applied. The statistical analysis of official sports and physical culture events was conducted in order to identify trends in the organization of sports events in the St. Petersburg region. Based on the analyses' results, it is proposed to create an integrated form of interaction between specialists in education, economics and sci-ence, which formed the developed management structure of the sports events organization. In order to achieve the goal of increasing the level of economic indicators of the St. Petersburg region, including by increasing the volume of sports tourism, it is proposed to develop a priority direction, the basis of which is the holding of phys-ical culture events in the rank of national and international competitions.

Hallmark sporting events have evolved from a competitive opportunity of showing national pride to commercially driven entertainment entities which seem to prosper from the economic stimulation of the event. Due to the growing popularity of these mega-sport events, cities and countries around the world are continually evaluating the potential of using these events to draw attention to the host. This thesis seeks to contribute to the controversial discussion of whether or not to invest in hosting a mega-sport event. Every stage of sporting events can reveal positive or negative influences, starting from a competitive bidding process, to the construction of infrastructure, and to the post-event effects. This thesis will focus on three aspects: (i) the anticipated impact of hosting a mega sport event in the short run versus long run by analyzing notable macroeconomic variables: expenditure, investment, and government spending; (ii) econometric analysis of long run panel data of gross domestic product per capita growth; and (iii) will also attempt to answer the question of why hosting a mega sport event did or did not work via. Applying basic macroeconomic principles, the original hypothesis suggested that the impact of hosting a mega-sport event would result in an expected short-run burst domestic product per capita (GDPPC) followed by a slight leveling off of the GDPPC in the medium and long term. Applying linear regressions over a twenty-year period, it is possible to evaluate the impact of hosting an event. Such analysis of the data indicated that it may be worthwhile for a country to host the World Cup but hosting either of the Olympic Games would likely be a costly endeavor.
