Družbeni vplivi prireditev v Mestni občini Koper

Abstract

Družbeni vplivi prireditev so že vec kot dve desetletji pogosta tema raziskovalcev, v zadnjem casu tudi v domaci znanstveni literaturi. V zadnjih letih je v Mestni obcini Koper opaziti velik poudarek na prireditvah, zato v pricujocem delu preucujemo njihov družbeni vpliv. Osnovni cilj prispevka je bil preuciti družbene vplive prireditev v luci zaznav lokalne skupnosti. V maju in juniju 2017 smo izvedli anketo med lokalnimi prebivalci in poglobljene strukturirane intervjuje s predstavniki treh krajevnih skupnosti ter predstavnico obcine. Rezultati so pokazali, da lokalna skupnost podpira razvoj prireditev, da prireditve oživljajo dogajanje v mestu in spodbujajo razvoj turizma, s poudarkom na strateskem razvoju in sodelovanju vseh deležnikov. The social impacts of events have been a frequent topic for researchers for over two decades, recently also in domestic scientific literature. In recent years, the Municipality of Koper has put a greater emphasis on social events, so our goal was to study their social impacts. The aim of this article was to examine the social impacts of events in the light of the perceptions of the local community. In May and June 2017, we conducted a survey among the local residents and an in-depth structured interview with representatives of three local communities and a representative of the Municipality. The results showed that the local community supports the development of events; that the events revive the city atmosphere and enhance the development of tourism with an emphasis on the strategic development and participation of all stakeholders.
