This study adopted the phenomenology method to examine the essential meanings of landscape. The purpose of this study was to induce both landscape experience and place meaning of tourism destination, and then to construct a landscape experience model. Using purposive sampling design, this study investigated the formation of tourism destination landscape experience using in-depth interviews of eight experienced visitors who traveled to Taiwan's Penghu Islands. Context of tourism destination landscape experience were classified into five dimensions: physical, individual, social, sense, and spiritual. Based on these dimensions, a tourism destination landscape experience windmill structure model (WSM) was developed. According to these results, experience is based on interactions between people and places whereas meaning is rooted in experience. If a person spends substantial time in or frequently visits an area, the landscape would not only be an object of observation. Through interactions among these five dimensions of WSM, experience is transferred into people's meaning and value of the tourism destination landscape. If destination agencies could understand the content and inter-relationship of landscape experience, they are able to design settings and programs to improve quality of landscape experience. |
