Abstract
Hosting mega sport events will build of the events venues and infrastructure, and the operation of the events involve huge environmental resources, activities, and construction projects that might negatively affect cities’ natural environment. Since Olympic Games would damage to the natural environment of host city. In order to protect the natural environment and mitigate the disturbance at host city, International Olympic Committee (IOC) introduced environment into the Olympic Games as the third pillar associated with sport and culture since 1996. The environment has become an important factor for hosting Olympic Games. Both host and non-host residents felt that environmental legacies were the most important aspect, as it was highly relevant to their quality of life. Mega sports events also potentially impact on local ecosystems. But the environmental impacts of sport events are difficult to assess quantitatively. This study introduces environmental concept into sports event to resolve the problem of estimation and help to offer benefit/cost analysis information sufficiently. The aim of this research is to discuss the evolution of sports event and environment. This research is also to construct a feasibility analysis method on the evaluation of sports event based on environment estimation methods.
