| description | This study aims to develop a measureable tool to identify the feature of
Taiwan cultural landscape. In-depth interviews from ten scholars were first
conducted to design a questionnaire which contained a seven-dimension
measurement model of identifying cultural landscape, and then 808 local
participants were asked to response this questionnaire for gathering the
quantitative data in four cultural significant sites. Exploratory factor analysis
and confirmatory factor analysis were applied to confirm the structure of the
supposed measurement model from the questionnaire data. The result of
factor analysis showed that the confirmed measurement model was less
complicated than the supposed measurement model. The cultural feature
dimension of cultural landscape was composed of three factors which are
environment element, human evidence and traditional custom. And the place
meaning dimension of cultural landscape contained cultural atmosphere, life
dependence and affective identity. This finding revealed the evidence that
local participants’ perception to the feature of cultural landscape was very
different from experts’ understanding of the composition of cultural
landscape in Taiwan. It also hints the difficulty of conservation for cultural
landscape was local people’s disregards to their cultural landscape since
these features didn’t have any physical connection with local people’s daily
life. This study build a 16-item scale measuring cultural landscape from the
perspective of local people in Taiwan, which provide practitioners a reliable
and valid analytical tool to assess cultural landscape. And it also offered
government agencies a useful foundation to make conservation strategies
with local people for cultural landscape. |
