Abstract

This study examines the intention of local residents to attend events in their neighbourhood when mass gatherings are being perceived as a risky activity, particularly due to a public health risk, and investigates the differences in behavioural intention by personal factors. The survey findings show a strong willingness of community members to attend events and that it varies across household types and the number of previous visits to events. Age and gender which were shown in previous studies to affect risk perception have not been found relevant in the context of willingness to attend local events. The identified factors from a focus group, such as trust in government regulations, familiarity with the place as well as previous positive experiences at events, can be seen as important to reinforce the willingness of residents to attend local events in times of crisis.

在2019冠状病毒病期间参加当地活动的意愿:以澳大利亚为例

本研究考察了当地居民在大规模集会被视为危险活动(特别是由于公共卫生风险)时参加社区活动的意愿，并调查了个人因素在行为意愿方面的差异。调查结果显示，社区成员有强烈的意愿参加活动，而且这种意愿因家庭类型和以前参加活动的次数而异。年龄和性别在以前的研究中显示会影响风险感知，但在参加当地活动的意愿方面却没有发现相关。从焦点小组中确定的因素，如对政府法规的信任、对当地的熟悉程度以及以前参加活动的积极经验，可以被视为加强居民在危机时期参加当地活动的意愿的重要因素。

This field has developed in size and impact globally to become a major business with numerous dedicated facilities, and a large-scale generator of tourism. The field encompasses meetings, conventions, festivals, expositions, sport and other special events. Event management is also of considerable importance to government agencies and not-for-profit organizations in a pursuit of a variety of goals, including fund-raising, the fostering of causes, and community development.
