| 摘要: | 台灣的溫泉區除了位於台北市的北投與陽明山溫泉以外，大多處於山區或是鄉間等地，除了交通因素外，語言上的障礙也是造成旅客裹足不前的原因之一。關子嶺溫泉區在台灣溫泉的開發歷史相當早，又地屬山區交通不若都市那樣方便，卻也保留了早期日人開發當時所留下的足跡，這樣的特色相當吸引對台灣歷史人文有興趣的日本旅客。日本旅客通常能夠自力搭乘公車前往關子嶺，卻無熟悉當地歷史背景，又能夠以日語來介紹的導覽人員，通常也只能走馬看花式的短暫停留，對於特地前來此一溫泉區的日本旅客來說，是旅程中的遺憾之處。除了語言上的隔閡，山區部分網路訊號不佳，或者外國旅客並非隨身攜帶行動網路設備，也是造成無法在當地得到良好導覽資訊的遺憾，為彌補此一缺憾，本研究發展出手持行動裝置可跨平台，事先下載後可離線使用的電子導覽書來提供日本旅客更方便的導覽選擇。本研究針對上述問題，使用Calibre-e-book management電子書管理軟體，製作電子導覽書共99頁，介紹關子嶺溫泉歷史、泉質特色、泡湯及住宿介紹、美食情報、交通資訊及關子嶺溫泉區景點共9處，提供日本觀光客更多便利的觀光資訊。
AbstractAmong the global tourists who visited Taiwan, those from Japan represent the second largest group (after China) and are higher in number than all other non-Chinese speaking countries. When measured in proportion to the country’s total population, approximately 1.6 millions out of 120 millions of Japanese people have visited Taiwan, equivalent to one out of about 74, which is much higher than Chinese tourists (approximately 4.18 millions out of 1.35 billions, or one out of 322). The reason for this popularity could be partly explained by the close geographic proximity. Additionally, the tight link in history and culture included the development of hot springs by the government and private sector since the Japanese rule of Taiwan (A.D. 1895-1945), which also promoted the tourism.The Guanziling hot spring area in Tainan has a long history and maintained the footprints left by the Japanese developers, thus is very attractive to those Japanese tourists who like the history and humanity of Taiwan. Although it is located in mountain areas and inconvenient to reach, Japanese tourist usually could arrive by bus without help. However, without Japanese-speaking guides who are familiar with the local history, the visit could be short and superficial. Additionally, the poor signal of mobile network in some of the mountain areas further limited the feasibility of obtaining tourism information through Internet. To address this issue, this work utilized the calibre-E-book management system to produce an electronic tour guide of the area that could be downloaded for offline use. This 99-page guide included the history of the Guanziling hot spring area, the hot spring water characteristics, the hot spring usage and lodging information, famous local food, nine major attractions, and traffic information. By providing this high quality and convenient Japanese e-guide, this work expects to further promote the interest of Japanese tourists to visit Taiwan and the Guanziling hot spring area. |
