Impacts of festivals and events on residents' well being
This study investigated how residents' participation in local festivals may influence their subjective well being and their quality of life. Using data collected from local attendees of a film festival, this study examined the relationship between socio cultural impacts of a festival and subjective well being of local residents. Findings revealed that while community benefits and cultural/educational benefits are positive predictors of subjective well being of residents, quality life concerns were found to have negative impact on the well being of residents. Findings also revealed no significant relationship between community resource concerns and subjective well being of residents.
