Methodology for sustainable event and festival management

This chapter presents the methodology implemented to estimate the level of sustainability for chosen events from the project area.There are six basic criteria and from these basic criteria a criteria tree of sustainability–oriented events is created, ranking their importance in the common evaluation of zero waste elements for the events.The events were evaluated according to all six main criteria: environmental, cultural, sustainable, social, economic, and transportation. Festivals/events which were evaluated as generally more sustainability- oriented are events for which all six criteria were graded the highest. The results show that most of the events/festivals with the best scores see their organizers devoting the most attention to the cultural criterion, but unfortunately, the least attention to the environmental criterion. However, the low score of the environmental criterion does not necessarily mean that in this regard there are not enough solutions to environmental problems compared to other organizers. The results also showed that the organizers of events/festivals that turned out to be the least sustainability- oriented attached the least attention to the environmental criterion, but approximately equal attention to other criteria. Also are presented the most sustainable and the least sustainable event for each project partner, selected by the DEXi program.
