The aim of this study is to evaluate mega sport
events with the concept of sustainability in economy sub-dimension. In the
study, document analysis technique which is one of the qualitative research
methods has been applied. Written and visual materials were selected and data
were collected and analyzed with descriptive analysis method. With this method,
mega sports events were examined in terms of economy sub-dimension. The
original aspect of the study is to examine the economic data, negative and
positive aspects and specific characteristics of the mega events carried out at
different points geographically and demographically specifications in the
world, and to consider the future activities that may be beneficial for the
post-proposal, event and post-event processes. 
In this context, the economic data of the mega events held in different
geographical regions in recent years are discussed. In terms of the economic
sustainability of the mega events, hosting organizations has certain
obligations that are required by organizations such as the International
Olympic Committee or FIFA. In recent years, many mega-nomination processes have
been developed for our country and certain studies have been carried out to
host the organization. With this study, it is thought that the economic aspects
of the past experiences of the event will be examined together with the concept
of sustainability and it can be beneficial for the countries that are working
for the hosting of candidacy processes in our country or international area.

Bu çalışmanın amacı mega spor etkinliklerinin
sürdürülebilirlik kavramı ile birlikte ekonomi alt boyutunda ele alınması
olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman
analizi tekniği uygulanmıştır. Yazılı ve görsel materyaller seçilerek veriler
toplanmış ve betimsel analiz yöntemi ile ele alınmıştır. Bu yöntem ile mega
spor etkinlikleri ekonomi alt boyutu yönünden incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın özgün
yönü, dünyada coğrafi ve demografik özellikler olarak farklı noktalarda
gerçekleştirilen mega etkinliklerin ekonomik verileri, negatif ve pozitif
yönleri ile spesifik özelliklerinin incelenerek, gelecekte yapılacak
etkinliklerin teklif, etkinlik ve etkinlik sonrası süreçlerine yarar
sağlayabileceği düşünülmesidir. Bu kapsamda son yıllarda farklı coğrafi
bölgelerde gerçekleştirilen mega etkinliklerin ekonomik verileri ele
alınmıştır. Mega etkinliklerin ekonomik sürdürülebilirliği boyutunda,
organizasyonlara ev sahipliği yapmanın Uluslararası Olimpiyat Komitesi (IOC) ya
da Uluslararası Futbol Federasyonları Birliği (FIFA) gibi kurumlar tarafından
istenilen belirli yükümlülükleri vardır. Son yıllarda ülkemiz açısından çeşitli
mega etkinliklere adaylık süreçleri gelişmiş olup, organizasyona ev sahipliği
yapmak için belirli çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Bu çalışma ile geçmişte yapılan
etkinlik deneyimlerinin ekonomik boyutlarının sürdürülebilirlik kavramıyla
birlikte incelenerek, ülkemiz ya da uluslararası alanda mega etkinliklere
adaylık süreçleri ev sahipliği için çalışmalar yapan ülkeler açısından yararlı
olabileceği düşünülmektedir.
