Why do People Attend Sport Events at Mature Tourist Destinations? An Analysis of Visitors’ Motivation to Attend the Windsurf World Cup on Sylt

2016

Abstract Introduction. Sport events have become a popular tool for the marketing of tourist destinations. In this regard, it has to be kept in mind that the effects events can generate for destinations largely depend on the motivation of the attendees.

Elinsiirtoliikunnan viikon vapaaehtoisten profiili, motiivit ja aikeet vapaaehtoistyöhön jatkossa

2017

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvailla European Transplant Sport Week (ETSW) -tapahtuman toteuttamista tukevissa vapaaehtoistehtävissä toimineiden vapaaehtoisten profiilia sekä selvittää vapaaehtoisten osallistumisen motiiveja. Lisäksi tutkittiin vapaaehtoisten tietämystä elinsiirron saaneiden liikunnasta ja aikomuksia toimia vapaaehtoisena jatkossa. Tutkimuksessa käsiteltiin vapaaehtoisuutta jälkimodernin yhteiskunnan piirteiden näkökulmasta, jossa refleksiivinen yksilöllisiä tarkoitusperiä tavoitteleva ja episodimaisuuteen perustuva vapaaehtoisuus on syrjäyttämässä aiempaa perinteisiin ja yhteisöllisyyteen tukeutunutta kollektiivista vapaaehtoisuutta. Tutkimus oli kvantitatiivinen tapaust…
