2018年臺中世界花卉博覽會是近期臺灣最大的國際觀光盛事,過去幾十年來,許多國家或城市發現大型國際活動對於城市永續發展的影響,因此相繼爭取主辦權。主要是為了短期或長期提高一個城市或目的地之知名度、吸引力和經濟影響。2018年臺中世界花卉博覽會是臺中市配合城市觀光發展籌備許久的大型國際活動,政府積極籌備該活動,作為城市與地方的再造策略,並興建諸多基礎建設,期許藉由該活動讓大臺中市民感受到地方的認同感。故此,本研究運用社會交換及利害關係人理論,採用兩階段調查法追蹤居民在活動舉辦後與活動舉辦前之認知與態度變化,探討居民對於2018年臺中世界花卉博覽會知覺利益與知覺成本,以及對於地方認同感之影響。本研究活動前回收432份有效問卷,活動後回收285份問卷,在扣除後測無效問卷與配對失敗之問卷後,最後共有239份問卷為配對成功之問卷。研究結果發現台中市居民知覺政治利益對於地方認同具有正向影響,知覺環境成本與社會成本對於地方認同感具有負向影響。此外,發現活動舉辦後居民知覺政治利益的影響性降低,而知覺環境成本與社會成本的影響性提高。本研究結果有助於政府機構瞭解大型國際活動舉辦地之居民感受,也可以提供政府有關單位未來舉辦大型國際活動及學者未來研究方向之參考。
