The present study emphasizes the religious feasts as a social cultural practice that spatializes in Goiás State. The feasts space materializes itself in the scenery, in the territory and in the territorialities construction. The chosen places to the research development are the villages of Muquém and Posse D Abadia, respectively set in the goiano boroughs of Niquelândia and Abadiânia and the town of Trindade. The catholic religious feasts are manifestations that boost these boroughs spaces, revealing, in their organization, a religious identity expressed in the studied places territory. The work main goal is the comprehension of how it occurs the patron feasts spatialization and its reflexes in the formation and structuration of the goiano territorial and cultural space. With this study it is searched to present a theoretical-methodological reflection about the patron feasts traditions that sustain a territorial identity in the State. For this identity, the patron is the faith, territory and the feast centrality. The territory is built and donated to the patron, which domain is effective with the possession and the power as protector of the mentioned places. The territorial identity is placed as a religious identity assigned to this patron. The formed identity, in first place, is the religious icon represented in the image of N. S. da Abadia and in the medallion of Divino Pai Eterno. The historical foundations that explain the process of emergence and formation of the three places enable to discuss that the miracle in Muquém, the meeting of the image in Trindade and the spontaneous institution of the prayers in Posse are elements responsible for the emergence of the patrons connected to the territory. The scientific contribution to the methodological development of the research is guided by the cultural approach of geography, formed, nowadays, by studies that postulate a methodological path mixed by the intersection among several elements that compose a culture, in which the interpretation, comprehension and intentionality of the lived space are essential. In this way, this approach establishes the recognition possibility of the daily acts that involve life, frequently neglected, by an apprehension pathway that unveils such as this momentary as the own symbolic lived world. The cultural geography contributes for the patron feast study by allowing the conceptual (re) elaboration of its particularities, from the symbolic representation systems, methodological way of communication that allows to chain the feeling and the stories of life of the human groups to the resignificance and organization of the space process and of its cultural practices. By this way, in what concerns the territorial identitary dimension that permeates the popular feasts and devotionals to the Goiás State, the patron feast posses the primordial element of identitary territory articulation, being on the rural zone or the country and metropolitan towns, in the evocation and respect to the patron saints, keeping the tradition alive. / As festas religiosas, em um conjunto geral, estão relacionadas às celebrações e homenagens feitas às divindades cultuadas em diversos seguimentos religiosos. O presente estudo enfatiza as festas religiosas como uma prática sociocultural que se espacializa no Estado de Goiás. O espaço das festas materializa-se na paisagem, no território e na construção de territorialidades. Os locais escolhidos para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa são os povoados de Muquém e Posse D Abadia, respectivamente situados nos municípios goianos de Niquelândia e Abadiânia, e a cidade de Trindade. As festas religiosas católicas são manifestações que dinamizam o espaço desses municípios, revelando, em sua organização, uma identidade religiosa expressa no território dos locais estudados. O principal objetivo do trabalho é a compreensão de como ocorre a espacialização das festas de padroeiros e de seus reflexos na formação e estruturação territorial e cultural do espaço goiano. Com este estudo, busca-se apresentar uma reflexão teórico-metodológica sobre as tradições das festas de padroeiros que sustentam uma identidade territorial no Estado. Para essa identidade, o padroeiro é a centralidade da fé, do território e da festa. O território é construído e doado para o padroeiro, cujo domínio é efetivo com a posse e com o poder como protetor das localidades citadas. A identidade territorial é colocada como uma identidade religiosa atribuída a esse padroeiro. A identidade formada em primeiro lugar dá-se com o ícone religioso representado na imagem de N. S. da Abadia e no medalhão do Divino Pai Eterno. Os fundamentos históricos que explicam os processos de surgimento e formação das três localidades possibilitam argumentar que o milagre em Muquém, o encontro da imagem em Trindade e a instituição espontânea das rezas em Posse são elementos responsáveis pelo surgimento dos padroeiros ligados ao território. A contribuição científica para o desenvolvimento metodológico da pesquisa pauta-se na abordagem cultural da geografia, constituída, na atualidade, por estudos que postulam uma via metodológica amalgamada pela intersecção entre elementos diversos que compõem uma cultura, da qual a interpretação, a compreensão, a intencionalidade do espaço vivido são essenciais. Desse modo, essa abordagem estabelece a possibilidade do reconhecimento dos atos diários que envolvem a vida, frequentemente negligenciados, por um caminho de apreensão que desvela tanto esse momentâneo quanto o próprio mundo simbólico vivido. A geografia cultural contribui para o estudo da festa de padroeiro ao permitir a (re)elaboração conceitual de suas particularidades, a partir dos sistemas de representação simbólica, caminho metodológico de comunicação que permite encadear os sentimentos e as histórias de vidas dos grupos humanos ao processo de ressignificação e organização do espaço e de suas práticas culturais. Dessa maneira, no que concerne à dimensão identitária territorial que perpassa as festas populares e devocionais do Estado de Goiás, a festa dos padroeiros possui o elemento primordial de articulação do território identitário, seja na zona rural ou nas cidades interioranas e metropolitanas, na evocação e respeito aos santos padroeiros, mantendo viva a tradição.

The main goal of this study is to examine customers’ internal motivation and to investigate how motivational factors affects re-visits within music festivals. The study focuses on a customer perspective and has a quantitative approach. In order to obtain empirical data, the study has conducted a survey with 157 participants from ages of 18- 64. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to generate the empirical data and was computed into Linear regression, Cronbach’s alpha and Mean values. Results showed that entertainment and novelty were positive towards return visitation. Socialization and excitement turned out to be two factors that motivated visitors internally but had no significant effect on their decision to make a return visitation. / Denna studies syfte är att undersöka kunders interna motivation och se hur motivationsfaktorer påverkar återbesök inom musikfestivaler. Studien fokuserar på ett kundperspektiv och har ett kvantitativt tillvägagångssätt. För att få fram empirisk data har en enkätundersökning genomförts med 157 deltagare från åldern 18-64. Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences (SPSS) användes för att generera empiriska data och analyserades med linjär regression, Cronbachs alfa och medelvärden. Resultat visade att underhållning och nymodighet var positiva gentemot återbesök. Socialisering och spänning visade sig vara två faktorer som motiverade besökare internt väldigt högt men hade ingen betydande effekt på deras beslut att göra ett återbesök.

This study identifies the prevailing scarcity of urban public services and the conceptual relations among service delivery, patronage, bureaucratic activities and structural factors in the Lagos Metropolitan region. It examines the extent to which clientelism, bureaucratic decision rules and structural theoretical models explain water service delivery patterns in Festival Town (Festac), a suburb of Lagos, Nigeria. The unprecedented pace of growth of the Lagos Metropolis since the mid-twentieth century gave rise to the spectacular spatial expansion of the continuous built up region. Urban industrial and governmental institutions have not kept pace with the population growth rate of Lagos. This demographic trend also continues to tax the urban service delivery system. The federal government policy proscription entailed the planning and creation of a new town, Festival Town (Festac), as a response to addressing the urban public service problem in the Greater Lagos. Festac is well serviced with modern urban infrastructural facilities for the delivery of water supply and water related services. In recent years, however, the local residents of Festac have been faced with a similar problem in water supply which is not different from that experienced by urban residents in other parts of Lagos. The painstaking efforts that detailed a pre-planned, designed and carefully considered development of a new urban community have not succeeded in creating a regularly functioning delivery of water supply and water related services. Various analytical tools were utilyzed in conducting the study. The study concludes that the central factors in the prevailing scarcity of water supply in Festac are technology and infrastructural dependence and dwindling federal state revenues, all of which exacerbate the internal production of essential urban public services and thereby making delivery problematic. The findings presented in this study demonstrate the significance of the specific articulation expressed in the link between the Nigerian export sector, the fiscal capacity of the federal state and public service financing. This study recommends that if the Nigerian public service delivery system is to overcome its contemporary problems, policies should be adopted which largely depend on existing internal resources.

Food festivals and events are growing in popularity and warrant in-depth studies of festival visitors. Given the increasing socio-economic significance of this vibrant component of the world’s leisure industry, gaining knowledge of food festival visitors and their expenditure patterns is essential to festival researchers and destination marketers. This study examines the characteristics of food festival visitors and the determinants of their festival expenditures. Specifically, a conceptual model has been developed to delineate the correlations among festival spending patterns and the visitors’ event-related motivations, food-related motivations, and food involvement levels. Generally, the study was constructed around six hypotheses and five research questions, which were proposed based on a comprehensive review of literature related to events and festivals, culinary tourism, and food consumption. A questionnaire survey was designed to collect empirical data from festival attendees exiting the 9th China(Hefei) Crawfish Festival (CHCF) in Hefei city, Anhui province, China. Four aspects of food festival visitor characteristics were investigated: 1) festival expenditures in five categories (i.e., food and beverages consumed at the festival, food and beverages taken away, goods and gifts other than food and beverages, entertainment, and other expenses); 2) event-related motivations for attending, including eight individual motivators (i.e., relaxation, social, family, festival culture, excitement, escape, entertainment, and novelty); 3) food-related motivations for attending, including eight individual motivators (i.e., social, family, physical environment, food culture, celebration, sensory appeal, knowledge, and prestige); 4) food involvement traits, including four subsets (i.e., cooking, acquisition, eating, and preparing) and ten individual traits (i.e., food choice, food shopping, food processing, food presentation, cooking delight, cooking practice, taste judging, food preoccupation, and exotic food experiences). To gain a wider understanding of the food festival market, the study also investigated the visitors’ demographic and visit characteristics. A Tobit modeling procedure was applied to investigate the relationships between visitors’ festival expenditures (total and food-related) and their scores on festival motivations and food involvement scales. The results show that visitors’ total or food-related expenditures at the festival were not associated with their overall scores on event-related or food-related festival motivations, and visitors’ spending during the festival had negative correlations with their overall food involvement scale scores. However, a further investigation of sixteen individual motivators and ten food involvement traits revealed that within the event-related motivation category, “Novelty” and “Escape” were positively related to both the total and food-related expenditures, while “Social” and “Entertainment” were negatively related. Among the eight food-specific motivators, “Culture” and “Family” were negative correlates of both the total and the food/beverage spending and, respectively, “Sensory appeal” and “Social” were positive correlates of the total and food/beverage. In-depth investigations of the ten FIS items indicated that, in particular, the greater visitors’ interest in “Cooking practice” and “Exotic food experience”, the less they spent in total and on food/beverages. The only food involvement item that had a positive relation with the expenditures is “Cooking delight”. In terms of the relation between festival motivations and food involvement levels, the results of a series of t-tests reported that individuals who are more highly interested in food were more likely motivated to attend by food-related factors than individuals who are less interested in food, and those who reported less involvement with food showed equal interest in the food and event experiences available at the festival. With respect to visitor characteristics, empirical data gathered from the visitor survey provided a general description of the CHCF attendees’ age, gender, residence, and visit patterns. The findings illustrate that the visitors were typically young, and slightly more females than males attended the festival. The majority were local residents who came to the festival in a group with two or three family members or relatives/friends, and they tended to stay two to three hours at the festival. As could be expected with a food-themed festival, a great proportion of the visitors’ festival expenditures were related to food, especially, foods and beverages consumed at the festival. In terms of motivations for attending, generally, visitors were attracted to the festival by a synergy of food experiences available at the festival and the event itself. The most important motivations for attending were interpersonal, including both event-related and food-related “Social” and “Family” motivators. The event-related “Relaxation” and food-related “Physical environment” were also among the top three most important motivators in the two categories. With regard to food involvement, the visitors were relatively more highly involved with food than general food consumers; in particular, they were highly interested in “Cooking” and “Taste judging”. Overall, this study provides an in-depth examination of festival visitors and their consumption traits in a food festival context. When compared with those of the extant literature on culinary tourism and festival visitors, the results and discussion of the study confirm certain previous findings and, also, challenge some common assumptions. Based on the study’s key findings, the hypothesized conceptual model was extensively modified to illustrate the detailed correlations among a number of variables related to food festival visitors’ expenditures, event-related and food-related motivations for attending, and food involvement traits. Theoretical and practical implications of the study towards future research issues are subsequently drawn from the findings. It is suggested that the food festival market should be understood in a holistic sense within both the community festival and culinary tourism contexts, and future research endeavors should be directed towards a more comprehensive conceptual model that can thoroughly explain the food festival expenditure determinants.

Syfte Vårt syfte är att se hur musikfestivaler kan bidra till och påverka en orts platsmarknadsföring och platsvarumärke.Forskningsfrågor vi har formulerat är följande: Hur kan en musikfestival påverka en ort? Hur kan en ort dra nytta av en musikfestival i sin platsmarknadsföring? Varför skapar sig orter ett platsvarumärke? Metod Vi har utfört en kvalitativ studie. Vi började med att leta upp passande teori för musikturism då det området intresserar oss, efter det skapade vi syfte och forskningsfrågor. Därefter har vi har valt att utföra åtta delvis strukturerade intervjuer för insamling av empiri. Vi har med hjälp av den insamlade empirin skapat en teoretisk och empirisk analys. Slutligen kunde vi presentera våra slutsatser. Slutsatser Vi har efter slutfört arbete fått bekräftat att en musikfestival faktiskt påverkar en ort på olika vis. Den största påverkan vi uppmärksammat är den ekonomiska som bidrar till investeringar och utveckling av näringslivet på orten. Andra tydliga effekter är hur ortens invånare och samhället i stort påverkas. En musikfestival bidrar till en känsla av gemenskap bland invånarna och detta i sin tur bidrar till engagemang och stolthet runt festivalen. Orter väljer gärna att förknippas med festivaler i den mån det går i sin marknadsföring, dels befinner de sig på plats under festivaldagarna för att sprida information om orten bland festivalbesökarna. Dels väljer de att i sin egen marknadsföring använda sig av festivalens varumärke och värdeskapande associationer. Fördelen med att skapa ett platsvarumärke är att orten kan skapa en identitet som de sedan väljer att lyfta fram för att locka besökare och särskilja sig ifrån andra orter. / The purpose of this study is to examine the effects a music festival has on the cities where they take place. Before this study we thought there would be effects but we wanted to distinguish these effects. We were also interested to see how the cities could use the music festival to their advantage in a marketing perspective, and if they choose to so. We also wanted to see if this could help a city to create a place brand. To help us examine this we constructed the following three questions; How can a music festival affect a city? How can a city take advantage of a music festival in their marketing? Why do cities choose to create a place brand? We have conducted a qualitative research, where we started by doing research to narrow down our questions and purpose. After this we created an interview guide and then performed eight interviews. These interviews have been the foundation for our study and are combines with theory in an analysis chapter. From our collected information and analysis we were able to draw conclusions. We have confirmed that a music festival will actually have on cities in various ways. The biggest effect we observed is the economic effect that contributed to investments and business developments in the city. Other noticeable effects are how the local residents and the wider community were affected. A music festival creates a sense of community among residents and this in turn contributes to the dedication and pride surrounding the festival. Cities often choose to be associated with festivals as far as possible in their marketing, and one way to do that is to attend the festival to spread information about the city and municipality to the festival visitors. We also see that cities can choose to take advantage of the associations surrounding the festival and its brand to use it in their own marketing. The benefits from creating a place brand is that the place can create an identity by which they choose to highlight what is unique there to attract visitors and distinguish it from other cities.

Das „Steinhaus e.V.“ mit der Stadtbibliothek Bautzen veranstaltete als jüngstes von zahlreichen kulturellen Angeboten eine Festwoche zu Ehren zu Friedrich Schillers 250. Geburtstag. Vor allem die Schüler waren aufgerufen, sich mit der Person des Dichters und seinen Werken aus heutiger Perspektive auseinanderzusetzen. Dies gelang mit großen Erfolg, da zahlreiche Schüler imaginäre Briefe an den Dichter richteten und damit einen Diskurs über den Stellenwert der Klassiker innerhalb der heutigen Gesellschaft führten.

Στόχος της παρούσας εργασίας είναι να ανιχνεύσει και να σκιαγραφήσει την πορεία του θεσμού του φεστιβάλ των Φιλίππων από τη χρονιά έναρξής του (1957) έως και σήμερα, δίνοντας έμφαση στην παραστασιακή πολιτική του Φεστιβάλ ως προς τις παραγωγές αρχαίου ελληνικού δράματος και επιχειρώντας παράλληλα να ανιχνεύσει την ιδιαίτερη ταυτότητά του. Σε γενικές γραμμές διακρίνονται τέσσερις περίοδοι στη διαχρονική πορεία του Φεστιβάλ. Η πρώτη ορίζεται από την τετραετία κατά την οποία τίθενται τα θεμέλια του Φεστιβάλ από τον αρχαιολόγο Δημήτριο Λαζαρίδη και τον φιλόλογο Χαράλαμπο Λαλένη (1957-1960). Επόμενο σταθμό συνιστά η πορεία του Φεστιβάλ στο πλαίσιο του νεοσύστατου Κ.Θ.Β.Ε. (1961-1983). Η διοργάνωσή του από τον Δήμο Καβάλας κατά τη διάρκεια της επόμενης δεκαπενταετίας (1984-1999) και, τέλος, η τελευταία δεκαπενταετία κατά την οποία την ευθύνη για τη διοργάνωσή του αναλαμβάνει το ΔΗ.ΠΕ.ΘΕ. Καβάλας (2000-2014), ορίζουν τις δύο τελευταίες περιόδους. / The aim of this paper is to trace and to outline the way the institution of the Filippi festival evolved through the years, emphasizing the performance policies of the festival regarding the ancient drama production and trying at the same time to detect its special identity. In general four period are discerned through the festival evolution over the years. The first is defined by the four year period through which the foundations of the festival are laid by the archaeologist Dimitrios Lazarides and the philologist Charalabos Lalenis. Next station constitutes the evolution of the festival in the field of the newly set up National Theater of Northern Greece. Its organization by the Municipality of Kavala during the next 25 years period and finally the last 15 years period during which the responsibility for its organization is taken up by the Municipal Peripheral Theater of Kavala mark the last two periods.
