1.1 Research Background 1.1 研究背景
Music festivals in China, especially Strawberry Music Festival and Midi Music Festival, have become important tools for promoting local economic and cultural identity (Liu et al., 2024). For instance, the Strawberry Music Festival is the mainstream music culture, and the Midi Music Festival is a rarity in the music culture of the underground. However, the environmental and societal sustainability influence of the music festivals has been considered little, particularly in terms of resource consumption, waste, and energy consumption. Though the economic and cultural prosperity of the music industry of China is exceptional, it still encounters many challenges in the aspect of sustainable development, and most surprisingly, in the aspect of the planning and performance of pop concerts.
中国的音乐节，尤其是草莓音乐节和迷笛音乐节，已成为促进当地经济和文化认同的重要工具（Liu et al.， 2024）。例如，草莓音乐节是主流音乐文化，而迷笛音乐节在地下音乐文化中是罕见的。然而，人们很少考虑音乐节对环境和社会可持续性的影响，尤其是在资源消耗、浪费和能源消耗方面。尽管中国音乐产业的经济和文化繁荣非同寻常，但在可持续发展方面仍然面临许多挑战，最令人惊讶的是，在流行音乐会的策划和表演方面。
