International Conference on Screw Machines 2024

Dear members of the screw machine community, It is a pleasure to look back on the International Conference on Screw Machines 2024, which turned out to be a huge success. Held at TU Dortmund University, this year’s event was particularly special as we celebrated forty years since the conference was founded by the late Professor Knut Kauder. His pioneering work at the Chair of Fluidics laid the foundation for what has become a key forum for advancing screw machine technology. My team and I were excited to introduce several new elements to enhance the conference experience, including the shortened two-year cycle, which allowed us to spotlight the latest developments in the field. The option to present technical work without submitting a full paper opened the door for more people to share their insights. The continuation of the ICSM Science Update sparked lively conversations around ongoing projects and fresh ideas. Our lab tour and evening social event further added to the friendly, welcoming atmosphere, offering everyone a chance to connect in a more informal setting. A key highlight of the conference, as always, is the collection of research papers presented here in the proceedings. These papers reflect the outstanding work being done across our field, from fundamental research to real-world applications. The diversity of topics covered showcases the continued evolution of screw machine technology and demonstrates the importance of collaboration within our community. Additionally, all papers from past conferences are available as open access via the conference homepage (www.icsm.tu-dortmund.de), providing an accessible archive of knowledge on all types of screw machines. List of Conference committee are available in this pdf.

Economic Effects of Sports Events in Tourism. Case Study EURO 2024

Economic Effects of Sports Events in Tourism. Case Study EURO 2024

THE ROLE OF SPECIAL EVENTS IN TOURISM

Event tourism is a particular form of tourism which, in order to attract visitors, requires the holding of special events. It is considered a subcategory of general tourism and differs from it by its characteristics, having a component of uniqueness (exclusivity), a component of fixed duration (depending on the duration of the event), a component of geographical concentration (the specific location of the event), but also a permanent and temporary economic impact (large influx of visitors). In this paper, the impact of three special events is analysed, each event in a different location, more precisely we analysed a mountain location (Băile Tușnad, Harghita County), a seaside location (Costinești, Constanta County) and an urban metropolis (Cluj-Napoca), all in Romania, in parallel we analysed an event outside the country (music festival in Belgium). The presentation and analysis of the figures from these four different locations leads us to conclusions and comparative interpretations. The study ends with the presentation of the conclusions and some suggestions in this direction of tourism, in our opinion to paint a real picture of this phenomenon, a successful tourism that requires a concentrated effort of all the actors involved, more precisely, the decision makers, entrepreneurs and tourists. The impact of special events on a local community is captured by figures that answer the two research questions: "Is there a relationship between a special event and the number of tourists?"; "Does a special event perceived as an economic accelerator also have negative aspects?"

Continuous impact of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games on residents’ cognition of ice-snow tourism: an moderated mediation model

ABSTRACT The Beijing Winter Olympic Games (BWOG) have catalysed the growth of ice-snow tourism (IST) in China, but the specific impact path remains uncertain. This study employs the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) Model as a framework to scrutinise the continuous impact of the BWOG on Chinese residents’ cognition of IST. Using 708 questionnaires from Chinese residents, a relationship model is proposed through Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and is corroborated by grounded theory, through the analysis of Weibo comments on IST during the first anniversary of the BWOG. The findings indicate a positive correlation between event intensity of the Winter Olympics and travel intention for IST. Furthermore, the perceived utility of IST plays a pivotal mediating role between event intensity and travel intention. Interestingly, event involvement exhibits a negative moderating role, signifying that individuals with low involvement perceive the utility of IST more profoundly. This study, based on these insights, constructs a mechanism to elucidate the impact of mega-sport event tourism effects.

Sustainable Practices as an Incentive to Return to Play at in an International Event

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect that the implementation of green practices in a major sport tourism event, the Badminton World Championships in Huelva (Spain), has on the future intention of similar players to return to compete in sport events. Theoretical Framework: This theme introduces the main concepts and theories underpinning the research. Green practices, perceived value, satisfaction, trust and emotions are highlighted, providing a solid basis for understanding the context of the research. Method: The methodology adopted for this research comprised a total of 400 players who attended to compete in the event were randomly selected. A confirmatory factor analysis of the model and a multigroup analysis were carried out. Data collection was carried out by means of a self-administered questionnaire in the presence of the interviewer. Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed that green practices are a direct predictor of confidence, emotions and perceived value, thus influencing satisfaction and intention to attend or re-attend a similar sporting event as a player. Research implications: Implementing green practices can be an effective strategy to improve participant satisfaction and confidence, which in turn can increase intentions to return to compete in future events. Organisers, federations, and sport tourism managers should consider including measures that promote environmental sustainability, such as waste reduction, efficient use of resources, and promotion of sustainable activities among participants. Originality/value: This study contributes to the literature by understanding the impact of green practices on participants' satisfaction, confidence and intention to return to sporting events. The relevance and value of this research is evidenced by how these practices can influence the behaviour of sport tourists, filling an important gap in the existing literature on sport tourism and sustainability.

Gender Bias in Residents’ Perceptions and Support of Rally Event Tourism: The Sierra Morena Rally of Córdoba, Spain

Motorsports have become a tourism resource for certain territories. Knowledge about the perception of impact and the support residents provide for their celebration contributes to ensuring their long-term success. The academic literature has so far focused on large-scale events, leaving a gap in knowledge regarding small-scale events. This study addresses the case of the Sierra Morena Rally in Córdoba, Spain. It is based on the principles of Social Exchange Theory (SET) and Social Representation Theory (SRT) to explore a gender bias in the perception of impact and support for the event. Using a sample of 753 residents, an Exploratory Factor Analysis is conducted, and Mann–Whitney U and Hedges’ G statistics are applied. The results confirm the existence of a gender bias in perception, which is discussed in the context of previous case studies.

A Mediation Model Explaining the Intention to Attend Game Events: Identity Centrality, Harmonious Passion, and Gaming Social Capital

Game events, such as game conventions and esports tournaments, have gained tremendous appeal as thriving tourist attractions. Despite this, there has been limited investigation of this emerging phenomenon in the existing literature on event tourism and event management. This study proposes a structural model to explore the relationships between the identity and passion of video game players and their behavioral intention to participate in on-site game events. The model specifies identity centrality and harmonious passion as antecedents, with gaming social capital serving as a mediator. Our findings reveal that whereas the centrality of identity as a gamer did not directly and significantly influence players’ event attendance intention, its indirect effect through gaming social capital was significantly positive. Harmonious passion, on the other hand, both directly and indirectly affected players’ behavior at the significance level. In the analysis, gaming social capital functioned as a reliable mediator for bridging these relationships.

Model Kolaborasi Pengelolaan Event Pariwisata Berbasis Budaya Studi: Kenduri Sko di Kota Sungai Penuh Provinsi Jambi

Kenduri Sko is a culture-based tourism event that grew from the tradition of the Kerinci tribal community in Sungai Full City, this event is an ancestral heritage tradition that has been carried out for generations, the implementation of the Kenduri Sko event involves many parties, therefore good cooperation between stakeholders involved in its management is needed. This study aims to determine the model of stakeholder collaboration in the management of Kenduri Sko events. This research uses qualitative descriptive methods, the informants are elements of the Pentahelix consisting of government, academia, business, society and media. The data used are primary data and secondary data, data collection is carried out by discussion with informants through focus group discussion (FGD) forums in addition, data is also obtained from the results of literature studies on books and previous research that have relevant topics. The results of this study show that the Pentahelix collaboration model currently applied to the Kenduri Sko event has not been effective, therefore it is necessary to develop a collaboration model into Hexahelix so that governance in the implementation of Kenduri Sko can be more effective and optimal.

Cultural Event Development Model for Quality Improvement of Tourism Event: Case of the 3rd Fishing Boat Festival in Sungsang Village IV, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra Province

Tourism related to events is a representation of the selling power of the location where the event is held. Festival events have an important role in increasing the selling value of destinations, but this study found that the 3rd Fishing Boat Festival event has not been packaged properly and there is no target market database targeted as tourists. This study aims to create a model for the development of cultural festivals, based on 5 basic stages, namely research, design, planning, coordination, evaluation and compiling a template for providing a database of targets and target tourists using the definable, sizeable, reachable, relevant segmentation method. This study used a combination method or mixed method with a sequential explanatory design with a sample of 100 respondents with 3 data collection techniques, namely by direct observation, document study and interview. This research resulted in 5 stages consisting of 40 steps of festival event management, as well as the targeted tourist segmentation profile. The research contributes to the achievement of the goal of improving the quality of cultural events in tourism villages.

Residents' Support for Major Sporting Events in the Postponement Context: A Case Study of the 31st Summer Universiade

ABSTRACTThe COVID‐19 pandemic forced the postponement of some international events, such as the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, which negatively impacted residents and the local tourism industry. Therefore, it is necessary to understand residents' support for hosting major sporting events. We surveyed 769 residents using a structural equation model and applied social exchange theory (SET) to analyse the 31st Summer Universiade and examine their support for hosting major sporting events. The results revealed a significant relationship between postponement risk perception and the perceived costs and benefits, which affected the residents' support for hosting major events. These findings confirmed perceived benefits and costs as key factors determining residents' support for/opposition to major events. We proposed the residents' postponement risk perception concept, integrated it into the event tourism research model, and expanded the explanatory power of SET in unconventional contexts, providing stakeholders with references for planning and hosting events under special circumstances.

Transforming Event Experiences: The Role of Application Technology in Shaping Behavioral Intentions and Attachment to Places

ABSTRACTThis study develops an integrated model that investigates the impact of app technology on event experiences and subsequent consumer behaviors—place attachment, affective commitment, and behavioral intentions. In the context of sports tourism events, data were collected from 219 international participants during the 12th Transpyr race in 2022. Results suggest that perceived usefulness, information value, and perceived enjoyment are drivers of users' app satisfaction, though perceived ease of use did not directly impact app satisfaction. App satisfaction positively impacted event experiences, fostering place attachment, behavioral intention (intention to participate, word‐of‐mouth, electronic word‐of‐mouth), and affective commitment. Affective commitment also influenced behavioral intentions positively, unlike place attachment. This study extends the tourism and consumer behaviors literature. It also presents a new perspective on the TAM model by measuring the users' online experience and its impact on the event experience. Additionally, it provides event organizers with guidelines for building successful experiences.

How Tourism Cultural Events Influence Multicultural Competence, Tourism Destination Image, and Visit Intentions: Evidence From the Pharaohs' Golden Parade

ABSTRACTThis study explores the impact of tourism cultural events on fostering multicultural competence and their effects on tourism destinations. Data were collected from viewers of the Pharaohs' Golden Parade broadcast on the Egyptian Tourism Promotion Authority's “Experience Egypt” YouTube channel. The data were analyzed using an inductive research approach, uncovering four distinctive themes: multicultural competence precursors, cultural tourism events' unique cultural and social elements, multicultural competence, and destination outcomes. Based on the study findings, a framework was proposed to depict the envisaged relationships between the four main themes. Practically, the study provides insights for destination marketing organizations on how viewers' impressions of cultural events on social media and official homepages could shape a destination's image and influence travel and word‐of‐mouth intentions.

The B-Fest Promotion Model by the Local Government During the Covid-19 Pandemic Recovery Period (A Case Study at an Annual Tourism Event in Banyuwangi District)

At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Asia Pacific region experienced a decline in tourist arrivals by 82% from January-October 2020. This problem caused event promotion space to decrease in various parts of the world. The Covid-19 pandemic in Banyuwangi was first confirmed on March 29, 2020. Banyuwangi was one of the areas that felt the impact of this crisis. This research aims to reveal the B-fest promotion model by the Banyuwangi District government during the recovery period from the Covid-19 pandemic. This research uses a case study method with a qualitative approach. Data collection uses in-depth interviews and market surveys. The market survey used 284 respondents from tourists and non-tourists who had seen promotions from B-Fest 2022. This research shows that local government policies in carrying out promotions for B-fest events support the economic recovery process. The interactional communication model is the promotion concept carried out by the local government. However, this promotion model shows the supporting and inhibiting aspects of the promotion model itself. Keywords: festival, promotion, local government, tourism communication, Banyuwangi, pandemic recovery period

Governance and Development of Tourism in Rural Areas through the Lens of Media in South Bukovina (Romania)

Agritourism and rural tourism represent an essential growing sector in certain EU regions, particularly in restructured and rebranded Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs) like Romania that display important rural areas and face important societal and economic changes. The rapid growth of rural tourism activities in the South Bukovina region (historically overlapping most of Suceava County) led, in the new legislative frame, to the establishment of the first regional Destination Management Organization (DMO) in Romania. By an exploratory qualitative, mixed-method case study approach, this study underscores important factors for tourism development in the region, outlining rural and agritourism variables integrated into the public authorities’ discourse. The paper innovatively focuses on the semantic analysis of online newspaper media texts and videos, complementarily analyzed by appropriate software solutions. The main results emphasize the factors for tourism development in the area through a dual cluster centered around the multilevel governance and tourism management structures represented by public authorities on the one hand and the projects, investments, and EU funding on the other. Key stakeholders’ opinion underscored public–private partnerships, supportive administrative structures, tourism events and various natural and cultural resources as sustainable elements that contribute to the successful development of tourism in the region.

Examining gastronomy festivals, a type of event tourism, within the scope of the United Nations sustainable development goals

PurposeThe aim of this study is to analyze the gastronomy festivals in Türkiye within the scope of the United Nations sustainable development goals.Design/methodology/approachIn line with this purpose, a systematic review approach, which is a qualitative research method, was adopted as the method of the study. In the study, the data was collected with document analysis technique by accessing secondary sources. Systematic literature review was used to analyze the data.FindingsWhen the gastronomy-themed festivals in Türkiye are analyzed, it is seen that 23 of them are in line with at least one of the United Nations sustainable development goals. The number of festivals organized in accordance with more than one of these goals is 18. The number of festivals organized in accordance with at least one goal is 5. The fact that only 23 of the 351 festivals in the research universe are organized in accordance with the United Nations sustainable development goals reveals that festivals are insufficient in terms of sustainability.Research limitations/implicationsThis study adopts theoretical approaches such as the experience economy, as it provides unforgettable consumption experiences for both producers and consumers participating in gastronomy festivals, and stakeholder theory, as festivals involve many stakeholders. The study also presents practical approaches, such as supporting local development, which is one of the primary objectives of festivals.Originality/valueThis study has revealed the sustainability status of gastronomy festivals in Türkiye which have been taken into consideration more frequently in recent years. It may also contribute to the literature to examine the organized gastronomy festivals within the scope of the UN sustainable development goals.
