Sport events and their impact to regional development

Sport events are becoming an increasingly important these days and they are take part of our
culture, which affects a whole society, not only in social but also in economic terms. These events
bring together members of different social strata who would not meet in everyday life. It is also
due to these events that infrastructure is being built (premises, accommodation facilities, roads
and associated buildings), which would normally not even be built in a given region.

Several important publications [reviewer21] and articles (Bale, Dehoorne, …) are devoted to the
issue of sport geography and sport events in general. However, most of them deal in particular with
the economic impact directly related to the organization of the sport events (eg Haddad and Haddad,
2016). They do not look at the issue of sustainability of built or revitalized sports facilities or
pay no attention to the opinion of the local population.
The aim of my dissertation is to capture the impact of organizing major sport events on the develop
ment of the region, from a social and economic perspective. The focus will be on the sustainability
 of investments associated with organizing these events and assessing the importance of the region.
 I choose Nové Město na Moravě as a model region where regular international sporting events (mount
ain bikes and biathlon) are organized
The outcome of the work should be the evaluation of [INS: the following  :INS] research questions[D
EL: .  :DEL] [INS: : :INS]
·         Can sport events affect the region's development[reviewer22] ? [INS:  :INS]
·         Are the events associated with organizing sport events beneficial and sustainable for the
 region and beyond? [INS:  :INS]
The work will also include an article devoted to the irritation index [reviewer23] (Doxey index), w
hich will monitor the negative aspects of sport events from the perspective of local people.
The main research methods will be questionnaires and structured interviews, which will be supplemen
ted by statistical data obtained from the interviewed organizations and the Municipal Authority of
Nové Město na Moravě. As part of the analysis of the local population's view of organizing sport ev
ents, I would like to use mental maps to get a picture of the spatial barriers that these events pr
esent to residents.

________________________________

 [reviewer21]The first and second paragraph are generally well structured. Probably  more
theoretical background will be needed in the second paragraph. Before „however“ you should state
some positive facts about the existing references and what has already been done.

 [reviewer22]The answer is yes or no J Why not to ask „How“ or „To what extent“?

 [reviewer23]You should not mix the research question and the methodology in one paragraph.
Moreover, the irritaion index comes out of the blue here. You should properly introduce with the
opening sentence and  than follow with the desription of proposed methodology.
