台灣擁有多種不同風貌的溫泉,因地質得天獨厚的優勢,孕藏著大大小小的溫泉。台灣雖擁有許多好的溫泉,也有不少的溫泉會館,但較有水準的泡湯環境卻還有探討空間。 本研究以「泡湯空間」為例,採用照片式問卷進行調查,並以一般大眾為研究對象,進行問卷調查。本研究目的為:1.分析泡湯空間的美感反應因素構成;2.了解休閒態度對美感反應及視覺偏好之情形;3.探討個人屬性的不同,其美感反應及視覺偏好是否有顯著的差異;4.探討休閒態度、美感反應、視覺偏好這三者間相互關聯的情形;5.探討個人屬性、休閒態度、美感反應等變項對於視覺偏好之解釋力。 本研究將366份問卷結果進行量化分析,結果發現:1. 休閒態度共萃取出5個因素,美感反應萃取出8個因素;2.在「休閒態度」部分,因部分個人屬性的不同,而有部分之差異存在;3.在泡湯空間「美感反應」部分,除性別外,其他因個人屬性的不同,而對美感反應程度有顯著的影響差異;4.泡湯空間「視覺偏好」部分,因個人屬性的不同,因而對偏好程度有顯著的影響差異;5.「網路問卷」與「實質問卷」受測者在「休閒態度」、在泡湯空間「美感反應」及泡湯空間「視覺偏好」,也有部分顯著的影響差異;6.在「休閒態度」、泡湯空間「美感反應」與泡湯空間「視覺偏好」之間,相關程度多數為中低度相關;7.經由逐步迴歸分析結果顯示,泡湯空間美感反應,具有很高的解釋力可。另外,本研究同時也發現,在泡湯空間裡,覺得美的泡湯空間也會是一般民眾所偏好的空間。 本研究結果,建議溫泉會館在選擇消費族群設計上,以及日後泡湯設計領域或學術上與實物研究上之參考。
Taiwan is rich with all kinds of hot-springs. Although there are many good hot-springs and a great deal of hot-spring hotels, yet aesthetic response and visual preferences for hot-spring bathing space is still a need to probe into. This research uses hot-spring bathing space as example to understand public’s general aesthetic responses and visual preferences toward hot-spring bathing space. The purposes of this research includes: 1. Analyze aesthetic factors in hot-spring bathing space; 2. To understand the condition of leisure attitude toward aesthetic response and visual preferences; 3. To explore the differentiation toward aesthetic response and visual preferences between different gender, age, education, occupation and art-related experience; 4. To explore the relationship between leisure attitude, aesthetic response, and visual preferences; 5. To explore the explained variance for visual preference. This study conducted 366 questionnaires using quantitative correlation as research method. The research findings includes: 1. A total of five factors for leisure attitude and eight factors for aesthetic response; 2. Different explained variance have different leisure attitude; 3. Different explained variance have different aesthetic response; 4. Different explained variance have different visual preference; 5. Online questionnaire tester and paper questaionnaire tester have different leisure attitude, aesthetic response, and visual preference; 6. The relation between aesthetic response, visual preferences, and leisure attitude have a low relationship; 7. Multiple regression analysis reveals a high percentage of total explained variance. In addition, this research also found to believe that what people think is a beautiful hot-spring bathing space, is also the space they tend to like. Based on the findings, the research can be used as reference for future hot-spring hotel design and hot-space bathing space design.
