This is the first text to present a system for crowd management
which integrates security with the other concerns for the health
and safety for crowds, looking at the theories and practices of the
management processes, plans, monitoring and evaluation of crowds.
The management of crowds in events and festivals is extremely
complex as such situations are unpredictable. Whilst traditional
planning is initially used, a fixed plan only works when the crowd
is compliant. Every event management team now needs to understand
the complexity, the decisions under uncertainty and the long tail
risks in order to successfully plan and maintain optimum crowd
safety. Structured into four sections (Risk, Management, Security
and Health) with templates, explanation points and case studies
throughout, each of the sections is written by experts who have
global experience in their field of excellence. By William O'Toole,
Events Management Specialist, Sydney, Australia with Dr Stephen
Luke (Health) Senior Registrar, Team Rubicon Australia College of
Intensive Care Medicine, Australia, Peter Ashwin (Security)
Principal, Event Risk Management Solutions LLC, Idaho, USA, Dr
Jason Brown (Risk) National Security Director, Thales Australia
& New Zealand, and Andrew Tatrai (Crowds) Chairman
(Non-Executive Director), Australian Concert and Entertainment
Security The Events Management Theory and Methods Series examines
the extent to which mainstream theory is being employed to develop
event-specific theory, and to influence the very core practices of
event management and event tourism. Each compact volume contains
overviews of mainstream management theories and methods, examples
from the events literature, case studies, and guidance on all
aspects of planned-event management. They introduce the theory,
show how it is being used in the events sector through a literature
review, incorporate examples and case studies written by
researchers and/or practitioners, and contain methods that can be
used effectively in the real world. Series editor: Donald Getz.
With online resource material, this mix-and-match collection is
ideal for lecturers who need theoretical foundations and case
studies for their classes, by students in need of reference works,
by professionals wanting increased understanding alongside
practical methods, and by agencies or associations that want their
members and stakeholders to have access to a library of valuable
resources.
