Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, resmi raporları temel alarak 1994 Lillehammer Kış Olimpiyatları’ndan günümüze, Kış Oyunları düzenleyen Olimpiyat Oyunları Organizasyon Komiteleri’nin (OOOK) karbon ayak izi azaltmaya yönelik çevresel sürdürülebilirlik uygulamalarını kategorileştirmek, sonuçlarını değerlendirmek ve bütün paydaşlar için daha anlaşılır hale getirmektir. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden çoklu vaka desenin kullanıldığı araştırmanın vakalarını, 1994 ile 2022 yılları arasında gerçekleşen 8 Kış Olimpiyat Oyunu oluşturmuştur. Araştırma verilerinin analizinde içerik analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Verilerin analiziyle ortaya çıkan karbon ayak iziyle ilişikli toplam 12 kod, 5 kategori altında birleştirilmiştir. Bu kategoriler tablolaştırılarak görsel hale getirilmiş ve örneklerle açıklanmıştır. Araştırma bulguları, OOOK uygulamalarının Uluslararası Olimpiyat Komitesi normlarıyla paralel olarak gerçekleştiği, çeşitlenerek kapsamının genişlediği ve standartlaşmanın giderek arttığı gibi olumlu gelişmeler olduğunu göstermiştir. Ancak gerçekleşen uygulamaların ve belirlenen normların, şimdilik dünyanın güncel ihtiyaçlarını ve çevre odağındaki eleştirileri tamamen giderecek etki düzeyine, sahip olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Carbon Footprint Reduction Practices in the Winter Olympic Games and an Evaluation: From Lillehammer 1994 to the Present Games

Abstract

The aim of this research was to categorize environmental sustainability practices to reduce the carbon footprint of OCOGs from the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics to the present, on the basis of their official reports, to evaluate their results and to make them more understandable for all stakeholders. This qualitative research was designed in multi case-study methods. The cases of this research were, 8 Winter Olympic Games that took place between 1994 and 2022. Content analysis was used to analyze the research data. As a result of the data analysis, a total of 12 codes related to carbon footprint were combined under 5 categories. These categories were tabulated to visualize findings, and explained with examples. Research findings have presented some positive developments like OCOGs practices were realized in parallel with International Olympic Committee norms, diversified, expanded in scope and increasingly standardized. Although, findings of the study revealed some positive developments in practices, the conclusion was, practices and norms are not effective level to completely eliminate the current needs of the world and the criticisms in the environmental focus for now.
