摘要

对世界城市（世界体育城市）体育维度的研究主要集中在单一类型参与者（体育联合会）或单一类型事件（体育赛事）的区位策略上，而沿着世界城市的层次结构探索全球体育传播的综合景观尚未得到探索。为了填补这一空白，本研究采用复杂网络分析方法，基于新的体育传播框架（包括奥林匹克委员会、体育联合会和国际体育赛事之间的多层次互动）来研究世界城市网络（WCNs）的结构和演变。根据1984-2022年六个奥运会时期的数据，我们确定了世界体育城市的五层层次结构，即综合中心城市、专业中心城市、区域中心城市、国家中心城市和专业城市。前两线城市主要由国际奥委会（IOC）和国际单项体育联合会（isf）参与组成，而不同级别的国际单项体育委员会和地区/国家奥委会和体育联合会共同塑造其他级别的世界体育城市。此外，国际奥委会和isf的密集参与和网络塑造能力增强了一线城市的主导地位，而奥运相关资格情况的变化和isf主办城市的变化共同导致中低线城市之间的差异越来越大。本研究为从综合网络视角定义世界体育城市提供了一些新颖的见解，并通过揭示不同参与者的不同城市形成力和不同城市节点的演化层次，丰富了对多参与者主导的世界体育城市网络的理解。

Identifying World Sports Cities based on the network analysis of global sports diffusion from 1984 to 2022

Research on the sport dimensions of world cities(World Sports Cities) has primarily focused on the location strategies of either single-type actors (sports federations) or single-type events (sports events), whereas the comprehensive landscape of global sports diffusion along the world cities' hierarchy has yet been explored. To fill this gap, this study deploys complex network analysis to investigate the structure and evolution of World City Networks (WCNs) based on the novel framework of sports diffusion that includes the multi-level interaction between Olympic committees, sports federations and International Sports Events (ISEs). Drawing upon the data from six Olympic periods (1984–2022), we identify a five-tier hierarchical structure of World Sports Cities consisting of comprehensive central cities, professional central cities, regional central cities, national central cities, and professional cities. The top two-tier cities are mainly formed with the participation of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and International Sports Federations (ISFs), while various levels of ISEs and regional/national Olympic committees and sports federations jointly shape other tiers of world sport cities. Additionally, the intensive involvement and network-shaping power of the IOC and ISFs enhances the dominance of top-tier cities, while changes in Olympic-related qualification situations and host cities of ISEs jointly result in increasing variability among medium/low-tier cities. This study provides some novel insights for defining World Sports Cities from a comprehensive network perspective, and enriches understandings on the multi-actors-dominated WCNS by uncovering the diverse city-formation power of different actors and the evolving hierarchy of different city nodes.

期刊介绍： Cities offers a comprehensive range of articles on all aspects of urban policy. It provides an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of ideas and information between urban planners and policy makers from national and local government, non-government organizations, academia and consultancy. The primary aims of the journal are to analyse and assess past and present urban development and management as a reflection of effective, ineffective and non-existent planning policies; and the promotion of the implementation of appropriate urban policies in both the developed and the developing world.
