Reducing the carbon footprint of spectator and team travel at the University of British Columbia's varsity sports events     

《Sport Management Review》2015,18(2):244-255

The carbon footprint of spectator and team travel was analyzed at small-scale varsity sports events held at the University of British Columbia. Sport management literature suggests a need for quantitative environmental impact studies of events, in particular to seek out transport footprint reduction opportunities. This study applies a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)-based approach to increase methodological rigour and transparency. We analyze travel patterns of spectators and teams and put forward several scenarios for impact reduction. Results show that UBC spectators had a smaller footprint than teams on a per person basis but a larger overall carbon footprint. Although only 4% of the spectators travelled by air, this constituted 52% of total spectator impact. We find the biggest opportunities for footprint reductions by spectators and teams alike are strategies that (a) reduce long-distance air travel, (b) increase vehicle occupancy rates, and (c) encourage low-emission travel mode choices.  相似文献   

The role of sport in community capacity building: An examination of sport for development research and practice     

《Sport Management Review》2015,18(1):6-19

Population health promotion and preventing disease remain important global policy goals. Because of the complex nature of health, and the recognition of the limits of individual-oriented health promotion strategies, recent decades have seen increased interest by public health researchers and practitioners in community-level approaches to health promotion. Increasingly, community-level approaches have been based upon the theoretical concept of community capacity. Community capacity is seen as a critical mechanism for supporting and promoting community-level health and through the sport for development (SFD) model, there is evidence of sport being an important practice for community development. However, little is known about the potential role of sport as a mechanism for building community capacity. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to examine the efficacy of sport to contribute to the process of community capacity building. Using seven established dimensions of community capacity, there is evidence that many SFD practices can effectively facilitate dimensions of community capacity when conducted in intentional, culturally relevant ways. Specifically, sport has demonstrated efficacy in building local skills, knowledge, and resources, increasing social cohesion, facilitating structures and mechanisms for community dialog, leadership development, and encouraging civic participation. More research is needed to understand sport's ability to promote capacity building through collective action, developing value systems that support democracy and inclusion, and encouraging critical reflection. To increase the usefulness of sport to support community health development, SFD principles should be included as part of sport management university curricula. Additionally, practitioners need grounding in community and human development research to support non-sport components of programs. Finally, participatory action research techniques should be used by researchers and practitioners. Sport-based development often generates high interest from residents, funders, and policy makers. By applying principles of community capacity building, sport may be uniquely positioned to enhance sustainable community health development initiatives.  相似文献

我国运动员注册管理相关问题探讨     

王小红 《湖北体育科技》2009,28(6):625-626,640

研究目的：对我国运动员注册管理的相关问题进行探讨。研究方法：法律文本分析方法。研究结果和结论：我国运动员注册管理的主体是单项体育协会而不是运动项目管理中心,相关规范性文件将单项体育协会与运动项目管理中心相混淆的做法违反了《体育法》的规定。运动员注册管理行为的性质属于协会自治行为而不是行政行为,运动员注册管理争议属于民事争议而不是行政争议,运动员注册管理争议应当保留司法最终解决途径。  相似文献

"真义体育观"基于知识主体思维结构的角度研究体育概念,以追求体育的"本真意义"为大前提.从考察体育的起源和词源出发,将"体育"术语的起源和引入时期作为重要研究背景.其思维特征是侧重于体育概念的两个逻辑特征:内涵与外延,认为体育概念是既成的、相对稳定的,并将体育概念看成一种抽象同一的东西加以研究,旨在反映体育的抽象普遍性;"Sport大体育观"则以辩证唯物主义为方法论基础,以"体育的概念是发展的且有规律的"为立论前提,从考察概念与体育实践的关系出发,将当代体育实践的拓展及其与社会的关系作为研究背景.其思维特征是从认识的内容来研究体育概念,把体育概念看作是认识的结果,是认识发展到一定阶段的产物,侧重研究体育概念的形成、变化和发展的规律性,旨在反映体育的具体普遍性,或"相似性".  相似文献
