摘要

「慢活」是一種藉由正確的速度生活來達到促進身心平衡的一種正向生活型態。而台灣自2005年後出現大量和「慢活」有關的活動、字眼和現象，於此我們不難想見一般社會大眾對於「慢」的想見、需求和渴望。近年，自1997年台北捷運淡水線通車後，再輔以2001年後全面開放週休二日，直接也間接衝擊到淡水老街一帶的觀光品質。不過，一直以來在諸多觀光領域的文章對於淡水老街周遭一帶的探討大多著墨於遊客的滿意度、舒適度及觀光發展等面向探討，卻較少深入探討分析，為何淡水如此地吸引人，本文在研究中試著以「慢活」的角度，來探討說明淡水老街周遭一帶為何會吸引一些想要放慢腳步的人來此休憩、澄靜甚而定居下來，同時在本研究中研究者也試著以參與觀察並藉由滾雪球的方式及與符合研究者定義中的「慢活」受訪者進行深度訪談，同時藉由段義孚先生的逃避主義來說明「淡水，真的讓我慢下來了！」的可能。一地足以讓人有幸福感，場所精神很重要，因此本文也希冀藉由此來開展對於「慢活」討論的可能起點，並也希冀可以為人、地及觀光等社群領域，提供另一個可能的思考面向。

”Slow-living” is a kind of positive living style. It pursuits the right tempo for the better living-no more rush and no more hurry. It could better to get the balance between our bodies and minds. In Taiwan, since 2005, a lot of recreation activities and commercial advertisements related the words-”slow-living”. We could not hard to image that people's needs and demanding. In 1997, the line of MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) opened to Tamsui. Also, two-day off Nations policy was implemented in 2001. These two major nations policies brought a serious tourism impact around the Tamsui Old Street area. Many years come, a lot of tourism papers and researches dedicated to the contribution to the Tamsui tourism development, satisfaction about the Tamsui tourists and the comfortable degree about the Tamsui recreation facilities. But not many papers and researches further said about how the attractions influence the people to settle themselves, no matter bodies and minds, down in Tamsui. Here, we tried to apply the ”slow-living” and Yi-Fu Tuan's ”escapism” to discuss about these attractions around the Tamsui Old Street Neighborhood. Snowball Sampling, Participation Observation and In-depth interviews discussion would be involved in this paper. What for a city related to the sense of happiness. It might illustrate the place matters. Thus, this paper, hopefully, dedicated to the very beginning discussion about people how and who like to do some ”slow-living” exercise around the Tamsui Old Street Neighborhood. Further, it would contribute to a new, possible thinking about the tourism, human and environment researches.
