Summary:

Hosting mega-events such as the Olympics requires significant resources as well as a well-developed infrastructure, but it also brings a complex array of benefits and challenges for local communities. While such events can drive economic growth and urban development, they also pose potential disruptions and long-term impacts that may not always align with the interests of residents. Scholars argue that residents' perceptions, concerns, and involvement collectively play a pivotal role in shaping the success and long-term impacts of any given event on the community. Therefore, it is imperative that government bodies, event organizers, and stakeholders recognize factors that influence residents' perceptions and actively work to address and mitigate any negative impacts. This case study aims to delve into the influential factors shaping residents' perceptions of and levels of support for the hosting of mega-events.
