Abstract: Events have been well-recognized for their economic and social benefits however, their broader effect on regenerating urban space and placemaking has not been duly examined. Using the community capitals framework, this study aims to address this gap by exploring how events are used for placemaking of main streets and precincts, and the critical success factors (CSFs) of placemaking through events. Semistructured interviews were conducted with local councils and business associations who are responsible for the development and management of significant precincts and main streets in Adelaide, Australia. Findings indicate that events effectively assist in placemaking of precincts and main streets not only through economic development and improving place identity but also by creating positive community changes through place activation and social capital and community capacity development, which have the capacity to deliver more enduring benefits of placemaking. Four CSFs are identified in placemaking of main streets and precincts through events, namely active engagement and collaboration a good fit strategic event concepts and a holistic placemaking plan. Based on the study findings, practical recommendations for planners and practitioners about the effective use of events for placemaking are provided.

Abstract: This study examines the intention of local residents to attend events in their neighborhood when mass gatherings are being perceived as a risky activity, particularly due to a public health risk, and investigates the differences in behavioral intention by personal factors. The survey findings show a strong willingness of community members to attend events and that it varies across household types and the number of previous visits to events. Age and gender, which were shown in previous studies to affect risk perception, have not been found relevant in the context of willingness to attend local events. The identified factors from a focus group, such as trust in government regulations, familiarity with the place, as well as previous positive experiences at events, can be seen as important to reinforce the willingness of residents to attend local events in times of crisis.
