Abstract

Objective: Stadiums are increasingly expected to reduce environmental burdens while generating durable social and economic value beyond match days. This article develops and examines a strategic framework linking green-smart infrastructure, circular-economy processes, social-creative placemaking, and entrepreneurial outcomes. It treats the stadium not simply as an event facility but as a potential anchor for an inclusive, low-waste, mixed-use urban ecosystem. Methodology: The proposed design is exploratory sequential mixed methods. A qualitative phase uses semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis to develop constructs and indicators, followed by a survey-based structural model. The material supplied for this draft includes a proposed coding structure and a diagram of standardized path coefficients; however, the quantitative tables were explicitly described in the source material as illustrative outputs for reporting practice rather than verified empirical results.....
