Abstract

ABSTRACT In the past two decades, big data has been gradually introduced into visitor research of museums globally. However, there are technical limitations in data collection, such as sample deviation and data quality in data collection, and data analysis limitations, such as weakening causality and inaccurate judgement of human emotions. This has also raised many ethical issues, such as human subjectivity, privacy, and social justice in applying big data in museum visitor research. Thus, it is imperative to clarify the application scope of big data and formulate ethical regulations to promote the development of extensive data research methods for museum visitors.

摘要在过去的二十年里，大数据逐渐被引入到全球博物馆的访客研究中。然而，数据收集存在技术限制，如数据收集中的样本偏差和数据质量，以及数据分析的限制，如因果关系减弱和对人类情绪的判断不准确。这也引发了许多伦理问题，如在博物馆游客研究中应用大数据时的人类主体性、隐私和社会正义。因此，必须明确大数据的应用范围，制定伦理法规，以促进博物馆游客广泛数据研究方法的发展。
