The Australasian Digital Theses Program (ADT) uses the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) to regularly gather metadata from the institutional repositories of participating members. This document describes how members can conform to the export profile for ADT. Version 1 and version 2 of OAI-PMH are both supported. It also tells you how to harvest metadata from ADT.
ADT will process any well formed XML content in unqualified Dublin Core metadata constructed as defined by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative.
The following information appears on this page:
ADT has successfully used OAI-PMH to harvest from EPrints, DSpace, ARROW and Digital Commons.

<dc:title>Resident Perceptions of Event Impacts: Taupo
and Ironman New Zealand</dc:title>
<dc:creator>Buch, Tina</dc:creator>
<dc:description>In New Zealand the development and
promotion of sporting events is becoming increasingly popular,
due in part to the role of sport in building the nation's
identity, the economic benefits, and a growing awareness
of the importance of health and fitness within community.
Given this increased popularity it is important that the
impacts of these upon the local 'host' communities be understood.
Social impacts have been given and more attention in recent
years by event researchers, due to the recognition that the
term sustainability of such events can only be achieved with
the approval and of residents. This research addresses these
issues in the context of Taupo, New Zealand using the case
of Ironman New Zealand. This thesis adopts a mixed method
approach using interviews (n=7), participant observation,
and a web-survey (n=111). The findings confirm that it is
vital to investigate and understand impacts of events on
host communities. The findings are also consistent with theories
identified in the literature in terms of the nature of social
impacts on host communities. The overall results indicate
that residents are aware of both the positive and negative
impacts of Ironman New Zealand. Respondents highlight positive
impacts such as economic benefits, exposure of Taupo, community
togetherness, and the encouragement of, yet they also recognize
negative impacts such as inconvenience from traffic congestion,
and road closures. Accordingly, the community was grouped
into three distinct clusters with positive, negative and ambivalent
perceptions, and were labelled 'Lovers', 'Pessimists' and
'Realists'. The findings further suggest that the use of
web-surveying for community research is still in its infancy
and needs further development enabling it to be as an effective
tool. Finally it is proposed that small to medium scale sporting
event hosted in regional communities may contribute to a
sense of community and to the creation of social capital.
Further research is needed to confirm this proposition.</dc:description>
