Exploring safety at mass gathering events through the lens of three different stakeholders dataset

The work here reviews the role of those with responsibility in managing people and their safety at Mass Gathering Events (MGE); event managers, police, and medical personnel. Focus groups were used to gain insight into MGE safety through the lens of three different groups. Through prioritizing safety at mass gathering events, organizers enhance the quality of the event, protect individual and promote the long-term success of the event. Questions were centred on their understanding of safety at events, based on their experiences in MGEs. Participants in this study identified many risks to event safety, including lack of risk assessment, communication, lack of ownership of risk and poor planning. Even though these risks were similar, each participant group identified their own perspective with their own ways of managing them. We suggests that all event stakeholders should focus on the interests of both the audience and the broader event community, with the goal of working together to foster a safe, supportive, and trusting environment. Safety has become increasingly significant in the vocabulary of researchers, managers, funding agencies and public bodies involved in the provision of mass gathering events. This paper comes at a time when there is an acute need for appropriate application of psychosocial understanding and biophysical knowledge for the safe management of the social environment of MGE, and the broader community.
The data set includes transcripts from 2 focus groups and one interview

本综述聚焦大型集会活动（Mass Gathering Events, MGE）中承担人员管理与安全保障职责的三类主体——活动主办方、警务人员与医疗人员，探讨其职能作用。研究采用焦点小组访谈法，从三类不同群体的视角切入，深入解析大型集会活动的安全管理议题。在大型集会活动中优先落实安全保障工作，主办方不仅能够提升活动整体品质、保障个体安全，更可推动活动实现长期可持续发展。本次调研的问题围绕三类主体基于自身大型集会活动从业经验形成的安全认知展开。参与本研究的受访者指出了诸多威胁活动安全的风险因素，包括风险评估缺失、沟通不足、风险责任归属不清以及规划筹备不周。尽管各类主体面临的安全风险存在共性，但每个群体均从自身履职视角提出了差异化的风险管理路径。本文主张，所有活动利益相关方均应兼顾受众与更广泛活动社群的共同利益，通过协同协作构建安全、包容且互信的活动环境。安全议题已愈发成为参与大型集会活动筹办的研究者、管理者、资助机构与公共部门的核心关切。当前亟需将社会心理认知与生物物理学知识合理应用于大型集会活动社会环境及更广社群的安全管理工作，本文正是基于这一迫切现实背景完成的。本数据集包含2组焦点小组访谈记录与1份单人访谈文稿。如需对本数据集开展相关研讨，请联系Ally Hutton，ORCID编号：0000-0002-0626-087X
