This thesis addresses a gap within these interconnected fields by examining the associations between how a set of institutions are used to govern a mega-event, and how it impacted the physical capital (PC) and social capital (SC) of communities in the host city during and following a mega-event. These associations are revealed through a novel methodology which used the Institutional Grammar Tool (IGT) and the Community Capitals Framework (CCF) to analyse policy documentation and 11 in-depth interviews on the refurbishment of the Broadbeach Lawn Bowls Club (BLBC) as a venue for the 2018 Commonwealth Games (the Games) in Gold Coast City, Australia. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the diverse impacts the Games had on the PC and SC of the BLBC, the institutions the various Games authorities used to govern these impacts and finishes with a contribution to the industry recommending guidance for improvement within the field of research.","abstract_html":"Over the past decade, there has been increasing research on how sporting mega-events such as the Olympic and Commonwealth Games are developing strategies, norms, and rules (institutions) to govern how these events impact the host nation, city, and communities; and on how mega-events impact the host’s economic, social, physical, human, and cultural capital.
