Abstract

Abstract Over the last two decades, there has been an emergence of research pertaining to the impact of in-person engagement with historical sites on visitor wellbeing. Yet, despite this increasingly prolific research into the impact of historic places on individual visitors’ or participants’ wellbeing, the impact of digital online engagement with historical places on user wellbeing has been largely overlooked. This research sought to investigate and compare the impact of digital engagement versus in-person engagement on wellbeing at the heritage site Elizabeth Gaskell’s House (UK). The quantitative and qualitative evaluation is based on public health care accredited measures (PANAS), previously piloted wellbeing measures designed for use in a heritage context (MWS), and visitor/user commentary. These methods enabled this study to begin to determine the differential wellbeing impact when engaging with heritage online or in-person and conclude that digital engagement provides an opportunity for historic places to lessen wellbeing inequality and support wellbeing.
公共历史与福祉:英国伊丽莎白-盖斯凯尔故居数字参与和亲自参与对游客主观幸福感影响的比较分析
在过去的二十年中,出现了一些与亲自参与历史遗址对游客福祉的影响有关的研究。然而,尽管关于历史遗迹对个人游客或参与者健康影响的研究越来越多,但与历史遗迹进行数字化在线互动对用户健康的影响在很大程度上被忽视了。这项研究旨在调查和比较数字参与与面对面参与对遗产遗址伊丽莎白·盖斯凯尔之家(英国)幸福感的影响。定量和定性评估是基于公共卫生保健认证措施(PANAS)、以前试点的用于遗产环境的福利措施(MWS)以及游客/用户评论。这些方法使本研究能够开始确定在线或面对面与遗产接触时对福祉的不同影响,并得出结论,数字参与为历史场所提供了减少福祉不平等和支持福祉的机会。
