Assessing the Environmental Impacts of Special Events: examination of nine special events in Western Australia
No full textThis research project sought to build on the Encore: Event Evaluation Kit project by examining the environmental impacts of a range of special events in order to evaluate the opportunities for developing an environmental evaluation tool or checklist. The hosts and organisers of a diverse range of nine annual special events held in Western Australia were interviewed over the course of 2005 and 2006. These included the state's largest event, the Australia Day Skyworks fireworks display, which attracts a six figure crowd to Perth Water in the centre of the city and the Avon Descent, a 'white water' time trial event for paddle and power craft conducted over two days along 134 kilometres of the Avon and Swan rivers. Other smaller scale events surveyed for the research project include a vintage car rally/race in the regional centre of Albany, a triathlon and half triathlon in the regional centre of Busselton and a local component of the RSPCA's Million Paws Walk. The environmental impacts identified by organisers and/or hosts as the most important were transport (parking and traffic), waste management (general rubbish collection, litter, recycling and the provision of toilets) and noise. For six of the events, mention was also made of putting measures in place to promote environmental awareness. Environmental impacts/issues perceived as less significant included the provision of power, (for outdoor events), air pollution (smoke haze and vehicle emissions), management of environmental risk and the minimisation of environmental harm. However, the calculation of environmental impacts is more problematic, due to the limited availability of data for most of the perceived environmental impacts and the limited enthusiasm of both organisers and hosts to collect such data
The special events boom : the public relations practitioner's role
No full textThis thesis explored the public relations practitioner's role in the growing field of special events.A review of literature found that no study of this type had been conducted and that there is little instructional information available on the topic.A 29-item survey was mailed to 613 public relations professionals acquired through a systematic random sample of O'Dwyer's Directory of Public Relations Firms, 1983. Three mailings resulted in 153 usable responses.The survey included scaled, multiple choice, and open ended questions. Question topics included: awareness and involvement in special events on a national and agency level; responsibility for conceptualization and implementation of special events; objectives for events; amount of responsibility in events; success of events; quantity, quality, type and specific sources of instructional information; and demographic information.The returned responses were coded and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Descriptive data were provided on all responses and crosstabulations were established for selected variables.The majority of the respondents stated that they had seen an increase in the number of events in both their agency and in the United States. In addition they predicted that the trend will continue for both.The majority agreed upon typical objectives for special events, the success of the events and the most effective techniques for measuring the success of the events.The respondents also indicated that there is little instructional information available on special events and that what is available is only average in quality.In conclusion, all of these responses seem to indicate that public relations practitioners perceive special events to be a very positive, growing and successful part of the public relations agency's business. However, there appears to be a need for better educational material on this important aspect of their business.Thesis (M.A.
