此研究目的係在剖析遺產詮釋如何運作，並了解其如何影響自由行遊客在文化遺產景點中之遊客體驗，本研究以台南赤崁樓與高雄打狗英國領事館為研究對象，因為其倆在歷史脈絡中的地位非凡，兩處熱門文化遺產景點分別為國定一級古蹟與二級古蹟，由於台灣殖民文化之關係，兩個文化遺產之複雜性從景點中多元之特質即可見一斑，因此，了解這些詮釋在景點中扮演何等角色、清楚其如何再譯此複雜之處的歷史脈絡，不論對遊客、館方，或是遺產本身都極為重要。

因為遺產詮釋乃遊客與遺跡之橋梁，其影響層面不僅止於遊客對於此遺產、歷史脈絡之認知，更可能影響遊客體驗，故本研究戮力分析在遊客參訪期間，遺產詮釋如何促進遊客體驗，尤其是自由行遊客之體驗，因為自由行遊客喜歡主動體驗與學習新事物，並且有更高的意願透過詮釋去了解遺產的歷史與文化，因此，透過比較赤崁樓與打狗英國領事館兩處遺產，可以了解遺產詮釋的現況及其之於自由行遊客之體驗，以幫助館方能設計出符合遊客需求之遺產詮釋，進而最佳化自由行遊客對於體驗之滿意度，而此方針亦應適用於其它文化遺產景點。

The purpose of this study is to decipher how heritage interpretations work and effect tourist experiences of independent tourists at heritage sites. This research takes Chihkan Tower and the Former British Consulate at Takao as cases for investigation. These two popular sites are inscribed as First-grade heritage and Second-grade heritage respectively for its historical significance. Because the two sites as heritage have their own complexity whereas it has retained diverse characteristics from different colonial periods. Therefore, it is essential to know what role does interpretation play and how does it work at the heritage sites with multifaceted historical contexts.

Because interpretations can mediate between tourists‟ perceptions and the relics, historical background and even the tourist experiences. This study endeavours to analyse how the interpretations on site facilitate visitors‟ experiences during the process of visitation. This research focuses particularly on independent tourists because they tend to experience and learn more during their tours. Also, they are inclined to receive interpretation service to understand the culture and history of heritage. Hence, through the comparison on the two selected sites, it is helpful to understand the status quo of heritage interpretation on site. Furthermore, it is expected to assist the managers of heritage sites to think about how to design the interpretation service well to maximise independent tourists‟ satisfaction. The guidelines are anticipated to be suitable for all heritage sites.
