Identify and Review The Potential Implication of This Project Towards Local Community, Environment and Economy Holistically

This document discusses the potential implications of building a new sports arena on the local community, environment, and economy. Some key implications include improved health and reduced safety risks for the community due to using non-toxic materials. The arena could also provide financial benefits through lower operation costs and increased property values. Additionally, it may help the local economy by creating green jobs and attracting spending. The arena could also positively impact the environment through reduced pollution, water conservation efforts, and encouraging public transportation use.

Identify and review the potential implication of this project towards local community,

environment and economy holistically.

Sports arenas are implementing ground breaking green initiatives to promote sports and
environment sustainability. Many venues across the globe have joined the sustainability movement
to protect the environment .Stadiums are trying to outdo each other in creating a combination of
superior sporting events and environmentally friendly venues.

One of the implication of sport arenas towards environment is reduced health risks to the
community since this sports arena is built near a university and surrounded by residential housing.
Building with toxin-free materials reduce the risk of potential health issues, such as asthma and
cancer. Green stadiums also go through a commissioning process that reduces other safety hazards,
such as fire. Next,  this project gives financial benefits as green projects are essentially cheaper to
sustain and operate. Expect lower water, energy, maintenance and insurance premium costs. The
value of the project will also appreciate over time.

In addition, this sport arena gives low pollution to the environment. This is because use of green
building materials result in lower waste and pollution in the environment. Today, many stadiums are
built using recycled materials, such as paper and plastics. Then, water preservation is also one of the
implication of this project towards environment. Water usage in sport arenas can be absurdly high.
This is because water is needed to irrigate the fields (for those using real grass), clean the venue, and
in the washroom facilities. Stadiums can reduce water depletion by implementing green initiatives
such as rainwater collection, water harvesting and recycling.

Then , consideration of the facility's high demand for water will lead to the installation of storm
water recycling systems, allowing facilities, specifically those with grass, to capture storm water and
recycle it by using it to water either the field or surrounding landscape. Finally, bathroom design will
need to include: low-flow toilets, hand dryers, and sinks that automatically stop water flow when not
in use. These efforts will reduce demand on natural resources and combat negative environmental
effects.
Apart from that, sport arenas have impact on local economies. Building green sports facilities creates
green jobs that promote regional and local growth. Proponents of conventional sports facilities claim
that building a new facility will bring new jobs to the area. While some new jobs may be created
when conventional sports facilities are built, real growth only happens when there is an
"economically beneficial specialization by the community for the purpose of trading with other
regions." Green construction projects create a demand for green industry by raising awareness,
thereby creating these specialized jobs and services that can be traded with other regions as they
too come to understand the benefit of going green. For example, unlike conventional construction
jobs, green construction jobs are just now beginning to increase because of increased demand for
specialized services and specific knowledge of green technology and installation techniques.

Next , the modification of existing green-building policies or the adoption of new green-building laws
will ensure that public monies are spent on sustainable facilities that are not just good for the team,
but are good for its citizens. State and local governments will continue to subsidize the renovation
and construction of sports facilities and play a major role in the design, construction, management,
and ownership of the facility. However, these governments must realize that building green sports
facilities can play a determinative role in helping a struggling economy and help shape the
reputation of a city

Fortunately, green sports facilities can improve a city's infrastructure in ways conventional stadiums
may not. Green facilities can do the following: improve the condition of the sidewalks surrounding
the stadium by laying pervious, recycled rubber asphalt; reduce the demand on existing sewer pipes
by increasing green areas and developing storm water storage and recycling systems; control traffic
by encouraging public transportation.

In short, sports facilities should be built and upgraded with locally sourced building materials and
should install renewable energy technologies and automated control systems to increase energy
efficiency. This is especially important in today's economic climate, where states and cities are
looking to improve ailing infrastructure and jumpstart their economies.
The sport arenas also have impact on local community. For example, communities that participate in
sport and recreation develop strong social bonds, are safer places and the people who live in them
are generally healthier and happier than places where physical activity isn’t a priority as the sport
arena is built near a university and surrounded with residential housing.

Participation in recreation, leisure and sports activities may be one of the few opportunities people
with disabilities have to engage in community life beyond their immediate families. The right to
participate in these activities is highlighted in the box below. As with culture and art, people with
disabilities may choose to participate actively (e.g. as team members of a basketball team), or
passively (e.g. as spectators at a football match).

Furthermore, the local community could improve the quality of life in a particular area and provide
civic pride that might make people want to stay in the area and actually spend money there rather
than going elsewhere.
