運用景觀元素探討生長經驗對延續地方連結之影響

Explore the Impact of Growth Experience on the Continuity of Place Bonding through the Use of Landscape Elements

本研究主旨為討論人們對於未造訪過地點地方連結的發生，以及了解哪些景觀元素影響這些現象。為了解人們對於某些特殊地點可能會有延續性的連結，本研究利用不同生長背景受測者來探討生長背景經驗對於不同景觀照片之連結反應，並以開放式問項瞭解受測者於回答問題時所想起的地點以及其判斷標準。研究對象為澳門僑生與台灣學生。景觀照片為澳門、台灣各5張，地點為葡萄牙但照片風格相似與不相似澳門之景觀照片各3張。結果顯示生長背景對景觀的連結有所影響，受試者皆對相似於自身生長背景的景觀有較高的情感連結，即對過去地點的情感連結有可能延續至未造訪地點。澳門受測者將由於新地點中的鋪面排列方式與顏色、樓房色彩、裝飾物、街燈樣式、斜坡等元素喚起了過去連結，而台灣受測者則是由稻田、古厝、山景等元素。本研究結果將可瞭解人們受到環境中的那些元素影響，而對新地點產生地方連結。特別是在適當的地點給予喚起地方連結的元素，未來應用在遊憩體驗會有較大的成效。

Many studies, especially community related, argued that bonding with a place can be only formed through a long period of interaction with the place. However, many researchers have indicated that people might have strong bonding to places or certain type of places (rather than a specific place) that never being visited. Since people have no visiting experiences with such places, one of the possible reasons is that such bond is transferred or projected from other experiences, and this is the purpose of this study to understand the possibility of such bonding transferability or continuity.For this objective, a photo-based internet survey was conducted. Respondents from two different countries, Taiwan and Macau, were asked to provide their feelings of bonding toward the place depicted in 16 photos taken from three different countries. The survey results showed that two groups have higher bonding toward the places in the pictures taken in their home countries, even though the respondents have no idea where those places are. The results supported the hypothesis that people can transfer their bonding of place based on previous experiences to a new place which is never visited. The results may contribute to landscape design and planning process.
