AB - This study aimed at verifying the types of impacts exerted by mega events on the quality of life of residents. In other words, it was intended to derive MEQOL (mega event and quality of life) index, which suggests the degree of impact exerted by mega events on the quality of life of local residents, using the MEQOL scale. This study was conducted with EXPO 2012 Yeosu Korea as the target mega event. As a result of the surveys conducted, the MEQOL dimensions were derived as 'social environment,' 'cultural environment,' 'economic environment,' 'living infrastructures environment,' 'ecological environment' and 'natural environment.' Through these dimensions, the MEQOL index of residents, in relation to EXPO 2012 Yeosu Korea was analyzed. According to the results of the analysis, residents were found to recognize that EXPO 2012 Yeosu Korea made the largest contributions to their quality of life in terms of cultural aspects. It was followed by contributions in terms of economic aspects, and finally, social aspects. On the other hand, contributions to the quality of life in terms of natural environment, ecological environment and living infrastructures environment were found to be small. These results lead to identifying improvements to be made in terms of increasing the quality of life of resident‘s by hosting of mega events.
