An evaluation of the planning process requires consideration of its strengths and weaknesses and how these have contributed to the success or otherwise of the Rhythm

and Vines event.

B) Evaluate the steps involved in the first stage (before the event) of the planning process (these steps are outlined in the previous table), providing reasons why these steps have contributed to the overall success or otherwise of the Rhythm and Vines event.

Your evaluation and analysis must include a range of specific examples that help support your ideas to gain Excellence.

11

After the Event

The success or otherwise of the event can be evaluated in the post-event stage and should be completed within two weeks of the event date. This will include the clean-up and dismantling of the event. This stage involves analysis and evaluation of the event from different perspectives. This could include debriefs with those directly and indirectly involved in the organisation and running of the event. Participant’s perceptions maybe gathered using techniques such as surveys. It is also important to see how the media reported the event. Any event can have impacts – whether positive, negative, short-term or long-term. These impacts can also be broken down into social, economic and/or environmental impacts. The evaluation of these impacts assists in determining the sustainability of the significant event.

G) Explain the planning needed after the event with reasons why this was needed.

H) Evaluate the success (or otherwise) of the planning after the event

Social Impacts

The R & V festival now attracts 30,000 people each year. These festival goers stay for several days and increase Gisborne’s population by almost 50%. Initially, in the first few years there were issues that caused some disruption for local residents and this created some ill feeling. R & V organisers and the Gisborne City Council worked hard to fix these issues.

Identify and explain a range of social impacts in the table below
