Abstract
Given the large investment among host cities, the question about legacy program creation and management becomes important. Creating and managing such programs that benefit residents should derive from the examination of prominent legacy aspects among residents of the host country (i.e., host/non-host city) over time (pre-, during, and post-event). This study aimed to understand and describe host and non-host residents’ perceptions regarding dominant legacy themes and residents’ awareness of specific legacies before, during, and after the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games. Results indicated that before and during the event host residents identified the material, tangible, and direct legacies. Non-host residents identified the non-material, intangible, and indirect legacies. Post-event, residents identified the non-material, intangible, and indirect legacies. In terms of residents’ awareness of specific legacies, host residents were most aware of the intangible and indirect legacies. Non-host residents were most aware of the potential debt and cost of hosting the Olympic Games.
