Researches on issues about big sports events and ecological environment in China mainly focused on the following aspects: big sports events and envi-ronment’s load bearing capacity as well as evaluation system construction, roles played by big sports events in im-proving ecological environment, hazards caused by big sports events to ecological environment, strategies for the sustainable development of big sports events and ecological environment etc. Research methods were limited to so-ciological research methods; ecological research methods were rarely seen. Researches henceforward should apply research methods such as ecological footprint and emergy theory in ecology etc. Key words: sports sociology;large sports events;ecological environment;review |
