Participation of the Local Government Administration in Stadium Management

Abstract

            The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between participation of the local government administration and a stadium management by using many types of research methods. The main method used in this study is a quantitative method and a qualitative method is used for supporting the outcomes of the quantitative method. The population used in this research are local government administrators.. There are 579 samples in the quantitative research and 11 persons are in the sample group for the qualitative research. The research tools included 1) questionnaires and statistics from Canonical Correlation analysis on the data collected to test the correlation rate based on research hypothesis prototype. Research hypotheses are following, Hypothesis no.1 is participation on planning of local government administration correlated with stadium management, hypothesis no.2 is participation on operating correlated with stadium management, hypothesis no.3 is participation on receiving benefits correlated with stadium management and hypothesis no.4 is participation on monitoring and evaluation correlated with stadium management. And 2) in-depth interviews with the administrators in the local government administrations during the period of May 2014 to December 2015. The outcomes were (1) for assumption no. 1, the participation in planning was correlated to the stadium management and the level of the correlation was as high as 0.799 (Canonical Correlation level = 0.799) (2) for assumption no. 2, the participation in operating was correlated to the stadium management and the Canonical correlation level was as high as 0.805 . (Canonical Correlation level = 0.805) (3) for assumption no. 3, the participation in receiving the benefits which are both non-monetary benefits such as satisfaction and pride and income benefits such as stadium using fee was correlated to the stadium management and the level was as high as 0.781 (Canonical Correlation level = 0.781) (4) for assumption no. 4, the participation in outcome monitoring was correlated to the stadium management and the level was as high as 0.845 (Canonical Correlation level = 0.845). In conclusion, the overview of the research outcomes was that the participation of the local government administration was correlated to the stadium management in a high level, especially the correlation of the participation of the local government administration and the participation in managing the stadium, particularly in monitoring and evaluating the results of the procedure and evaluating the results of the projects that focused mainly on providing public services to people.
