近十年，遊客開始對死亡、災難與暴行等遺跡地產生高度興趣，且也引起學者們對於黑暗觀光的重視與探討。黑暗觀光不僅述說歷史上的創傷，也常能觸動遊客的情緒與內心深刻的感受，很少文獻探討黑暗觀光地產生的心理效益，因此，本研究以環境復癒理論的觀點，探討遊客參訪黑暗觀光地時可能的心理反應與情緒，並瞭解黑暗觀光對不同創傷經驗遊客的心理影響與療癒效果。 由於1999 年921 大地震所造成的創傷在台灣人民心中仍記憶猶新，而南投縣國姓鄉九份二山921 震災紀念公園保留當時地震的原爆點，也活生生呈現了當時走山的現象，因此本研究採現地問卷調查法，針對前往南投九份二山921 震災紀念園區參訪的遊客進行資料蒐集，取得有效問卷395 份。資料分析則使用多元迴歸分析法來驗證變項間的影響關係。 實證結果發現，不同創傷經驗的遊客對黑暗觀光地的環境知覺有顯著差異，不同創傷經驗的遊客對黑暗觀光地產生的心理效益也有顯著差異。且證實遊客個人的創傷經驗會影響其對環境的知覺；遊客對環境的知覺也會影響其心理效益，能讓遊客減低壓力與放鬆心情，同時也帶來正面的反思。這也說明死亡與災難等遺跡地是值得保存的景點，也有助於經歷創傷者的心理療癒。最後，本研究依其研究結果，提出相關建議與未來研究方向，以供產、官、學各界參考。 In recent ten years, tourists have started to show great interest in sites associated with death, disaster and atrocities. Therefore, this phenomenon has drawn scholars’ attention in putting more emphasis on ‘Dark Tourism’. DarkTourism does not only recount historical wounds, but also touches the emotions and deep feelings in the tourists’ hearts. However, very little literature has probed into the psychological benefits of Dark Tourism. For this reason, this research is based on the viewpoint of environmental restoration theory to explore the psychological reaction and feelings that tourists might have while taking part in Dark Tourism. This research also attempts to understand the psychological impact and healing effect of Dark Tourism on tourists of various traumatic experiences. Taiwanese people have many traumatic recollections of the 921 Earthquake occurring in 1999. The Memorial Park in Jioufenershan in Nantou is built on the epicenter and retains the site of the mud slide caused by the earthquake. This research uses questionnaires taken on location to interview tourists who visited the Memorial Park. There were a total of 395 valid questionnaires collected. For the information analysis, we employ Gradual Regression Verification to see the effect on the variable relations. The verification result shows that tourists with various traumatic experiences have remarkably different environment perceptions towards visiting the sites, and these perceptions have also remarkable impact on the psychological benefits brought upon the tourists. The benefits include a sense of relief and relaxation, and positive reflections, which indicates that the sites of death or disaster are worthy to preserve and will facilitate trauma healing.Finally, based on the result of this research, we provide relevant recommendations as a source of reference in the future studies for industry, the government and academia as references.
