Research Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify the impact of the appearance of new locally attached professional basketball team upon the level of the place attachment and the team identification among fans and the residents of two teams. These two teams are named Iwate Big Bulls and Shinshu Brave Warriors and the hometown are Iwate and Nagano prefecture respectively. The results of this study indicated that team identification increased every year, but the level of the place attachment was pretty much stable during the three years. It can be concluded that the newly appeared locally attached professional basketball team does not have direct impact on PA but has certain amount of influence on team identification.
