Abstract

The digitalisation of museums is critical for preserving cultural artefacts and for public education. However, what digitally attracts younger generations to cultural heritage displays while boosting value perception among visitors and initiating conversations with history remains conceptually unclear. This study investigates conversations and connections among historical legacies, digital technologies, and younger generations. Using a structural equation model, the authors examine the role of existing digital tools used to engage millennial museum visitors, connect with history, and enhance social recognition of culture. Furthermore, they developed an integrated explanatory Cognitive Identity-Agent-Symbolism-Engagement (CIASE) model to identify the associations between variables. The findings recommend a technology-driven pathway for integrating user experience, digital technology, and cultural heritage to design better visitor experiences, explore their sense of cultural identity, and establish a stable connection between culture and individuals.

通过博物馆数字化与文化遗产对话:开发参观者认知身份、技术代理、文化象征和公众参与的模型

博物馆的数字化对于文物保护和公共教育至关重要。然而，究竟是什么通过数字技术吸引年轻一代来参观文化遗产展览，同时提高游客的价值认知，并开启与历史的对话，目前还不得而知。这项研究调查了历史遗产、数字技术和年轻一代之间的对话和联系。利用结构方程模型，作者研究了现有数字工具在吸引千禧一代博物馆游客、连接历史和增强社会文化认知方面的作用。此外，他们开发了一个综合的解释性认知身份-代理人-象征-参与(CIASE)模型来识别变量之间的关联。研究结果推荐了一种技术驱动的途径，将用户体验、数字技术和文化遗产结合起来，设计更好的游客体验，探索他们的文化认同感，并在文化与个人之间建立稳定的联系。
