ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 lockdown of society in 2020 deprived people of access to many heritage sites. This made the public uniquely aware of why they visited heritage sites and what they valued about the visits, once heritage sites reopened. In particular, regaining access framed visits in terms of personal agency and wellbeing. Notions of capability, social connections, ontological security, and trust – all important elements of wellbeing – were widely shared values. Heritage sites also offered distinct opportunities for combining hedonic (subjective) and eudaimonic (psychological) wellbeing effects. While heritage value cannot be reduced to wellbeing effects, we suggest that constructive awareness of how these effects may be generated can enhance the outcome of visits to heritage sites.

摘要

2020 年 COVID-19 社会封锁使人们无法进入许多遗产地。这使公众独特地意识到他们为什么访问遗产地，以及一旦遗产地重新开放，他们对这些访问的重视程度。特别是，在个人代理和福祉方面重新获得访问框架访问。能力、社会关系、本体安全和信任的概念——幸福的所有重要元素——是广泛共享的价值观。遗产地还提供了结合享乐（主观）和幸福（心理）幸福效应的独特机会。虽然遗产价值不能被简化为福祉影响，但我们建议，对如何产生这些影响的建设性认识可以提高参观遗产地的结果。
