RESUMO O movimento de passageiros nos aeroportos está em crescimento, como consequência principal tem-se: os congestionamentos na rede viária e a deteriorização da qualidade ambiental no seu entorno. Mundialmente, o acesso aeroportuário já é considerado um componente crítico. Os administradores dos principais aeroportos internacionais (Europa e Estados Unidos) trabalham para melhorias neste acesso que é feito basicamente por automóveis. A opção é a implantação do transporte de alta capacidade sustentável. No Brasil, apesar dos investimentos no setor estarem impulsionados pelos dois megaeventos que se aproximam, Copa do Mundo de 2014 e Olimpíadas de 2016, não se observa uma preocupação das autoridades competentes com a acessibilidade a este Pólo Gerador de Viagens. Este artigo aborda a complexidade deste tema e tem como objetivo elencar alguns elementos básicos  para tratar o problema de acessibilidade terrestre no setor aeroportuário, mostrando que a divisão modal com foco nos transportes de alta capacidade é uma alternativa possível na redução dos congestionamentos e dos impactos ambientais desta infraestrutura.   ABSTRACT The passengers movements are growing at the airports. The bottlenecks and the environmental depletion at neighborhood is the main consequence. The access at the airport is already a worldwide problem. Managers of the main international airports (Europe and United States) are working to improve the accessibility and reduce the use of car. The option is the sustainable transport of high capacity. In Brazil, investments in the sector are growing due the two mega-events – the World Cup and the Olympic Games; however, the accessibility is not yet an issue perceived by the authorities. This article approaches the complexity of this theme. The goal is to point some basic indicators to treat the problem of land accessibility in the airport area, and highlights the modal division with focus in the transport of high capacity. This is an alternative possible to reduce the congestion and the environmental impacts caused by this infrastructure.

The authors estimate the effect of hosting the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016 on Brazilian international travel receipts. Results show that the World Cup generated an increase of about 50% in receipts during the 2 months of the event, while the estimated effect of the Olympics was an increase of about 28% during 1 month. In the month after the events, there was a fall of almost the same amount, and no effect of the previous rise in receipts was detected 2 months after the events. Therefore, these effects were immediate and short-lived.

[222 pp, RRP: £18.75, ISBN: 978-1-910781-22-7]The idea of discovering or creating a form of uniqueness to differentiate a place from others is clearly attractive. In this regard, and in line with Ashworth (2009), three urban planning instruments are widely used throughout the world as a means of boosting a city’s image: (i) personality association - where places associate themselves with a named individual from history, literature, the arts, politics, entertainment, sport or even mythology; (ii) the visual qualities of buildings and urban design, which include flagship building, signature urban design and even signature districts and (iii) event hallmarking - where places organize events, usually cultural (e.g., European Capital of Culture, henceforth referred to as ECoC) or sporting (e.g., the Olympic Games), in order to obtain worldwide recognition.

World sport often appears as one of the most powerful illustrations of globalization in action. This chapter provides a critical analysis of global sport. Four major areas of research and debate on global sport are examined: political–economic issues, centering particularly on the commercial growth of sport and inequalities between different regions; global sport mega-events such as the Olympic Games or World Cup finals in football; the emergence and institutionalization of the global sport for development and peace; and sociocultural issues, notably the importance of global sport to diverse and shifting forms of identity and belonging. Concluding recommendations are provided on areas for future research into global sport.
