地方連結在近年來受到不同領域學者的重視。研究者多認為地方連結經常被視為理所當然存在的,只有在地點劇烈變化後才會意識到。然而,在遊憩領域中很少討論到地方改變對地方連結的影響。本研究目的便是為了解遊憩地點改變時地方連結的變化。本研究採用固定樣本追蹤(Panel)方式對2010年台北花卉博覽會新生公園111位使用者進行調查,得到31位使用者在公園進行關園前、後的地方連結程度變化。結果顯示根深蒂固感面向在公園關閉後顯著下降,且全部地方連結面向都顯示其初始值與下降值間呈正相關。也就是說,擁有較強連結者在地點無法使用時連結會下降較多。本研究結果希望能補充現有地方連結文獻,並提供規劃管理作為參考。
Place bonding/attachment has received attention from different disciplines for recent decades. Most of the researchers agree that bonding to a place might be taken for granted, and it can only be noticed after the place dramatically changed. However, the effect of place changing on place bonding is rarely discussed in recreational studies. It is the purpose of the study to understand how place bonding toward a recreation places changed after the park was closed. For the purpose of this study, a panel survey was conducted to understand 111 park users' bonding to the park, which was closed later for the Taipei International Flora Exposition. Thirty one of them had returned the survey and the levels of bonding changed were compared. Results showed that one of the five dimensions (rootedness) declined significantly after the park closed. Besides, all of the five dimensions (place dependence, place identity, and place belongingness) were found to have positive correlation with their declines and initial values. In other words, people who have stronger emotional bonding toward the park would have larger decline in emotional bonding when the park is unavailable. The results of the current study provide a new way to understand the mechanisms of place disruption..
