  • Culture and Sport
    CULTURE AND SPORT Culture and Sport Eastern and western cultures have co-existed in Macao for over 400 years. A wide variety of cultural traditions, languages, values, religious beliefs, and customs have all existed side by side and influenced one another. Out of this melting pot, a regional culture unique to Macao has gradually developed into its present richness. Macao’s culture is thus a diverse mixture, with traditional Chinese culture as its heart, and it has assimilated Western, particularly Portuguese, cultural influences in perfect harmony. Following its policy of promoting Chinese culture while preserving the unique pluralistic cultural heritage of Macao, the Government has hosted various cultural and artistic activities invited art troupes from mainland China and overseas, as well as Macao, to perform. These have created opportunities for audiences to learn more about the history, society, and culture of different regions, as well as enhancing cultural exchange and the quality of cultural life of Macao’s residents. Cultural Affairs Bureau The Cultural Affairs Bureau is a Government department that sets out the Government’s key objectives in cultural matters. The bureau is responsible for protecting cultural heritage, giving guidance on aesthetic appreciation, supporting community organisations, nurturing talent in arts and culture, developing local cultural industries, as well as organising cultural entertainment programmes, such as concerts, exhibitions, seminars, music classes, dance, drama courses, Macao International Parade, Macao International Music Festival, Macao Arts Festival, Macao City Fringe Festival, China Cultural Heritage Day, Macao Youth Music Competition and Macao Annual Visual Arts Exhibition. It also provides subsidies for different cultural and art programmes as well as scholarships to support the publication of research and advanced studies about arts.

  • Characteristics and Protection Experience of Historical Buildings in Macao
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 193 Asia-Pacific Social Science and Modern Education Conference (SSME 2018) Characteristics and protection experience of historical buildings in Macao Yuji Li Department of history, JiNan University, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China [email protected] Keywords: Macao; Historical building; Characteristic; Protection experience Abstract. The historical buildings have been eroded in varying degrees by urban development and construction with the development of economic and commercial society, as a result of which, the overall style of the historic district has been destroyed. Historical building is the witness of human development trace, which reflects the regional culture to a certain extent. Therefore, the protection of historical buildings also means the protection of the regional culture. The Macao SAR government has accumulated a lot of experience in the protection of historical buildings. The historical building resources of Macao were sorted in this article, to analyze the cultural characteristics of historical buildings, and the experience of the Macao SAR government in protecting historical buildings was summarized, with the hope to bring some inspiration for the protection of domestic historical buildings. 1 Introduction The Macao Peninsula was an important channel for the Maritime Silk Road in the sixteenth century and also the earliest missionary center in the Far East. The culture of Macao was rooted in the Chinese society, and in 1557, the Portuguese brought the Portuguese culture after they entered Macao. Then the missionaries carried out the activities of Western learning spreading to the East, and Macao acted as the intermediary role of Chinese and Western culture.

  • Mental Mapping and Heritage Visitors' Spatial Perceptions
    Mental Mapping and Heritage Visitors’ Spatial Perceptions Visitors’ activities tend to be spatially oriented in destinations. Mental mapping is a useful method for revealing how visitors spatially perceive tourism destinations. However, studies of this kind are under-researched in the tourism field. Therefore, this study investigates the ways in which visitors spatially perceive the World Heritage Sites (WHSs) of Macau through the use of mental maps drawn by a sample of 400 respondents. Comparisons of the mental maps revealed that respondents possessed a relatively limited spatial knowledge of the WHSs, and this recognition varied according to the gender, place of origin, travel mode, type of trip, social interaction with local people, and length of stay. While the real life world of visitors was identified by mental mapping approach, some suggestions for formulating strategies is provided. Keywords: mental map; perception; spatial distortion; direction, location; World Heritage Sites of Macau Introduction A questionnaire-based quantitative approach tends to provide a limited understanding of visitors’ real life experiences in tourism destinations because of pre-set nature of questions designed by the researchers, which often restricts respondents’ freedom of expression (Becken, 2007; Batra, 2008; Wichasin, 2011; Yankholmes & Akyeampong, 2010). According to Young (1999), through mental mapping approach respondents can reveal their experiences, preferences, desires and knowledge without any restrictions, and without being led by the intentions of the researchers. Thereby, the limitations of questionnaire-based surveys might be overcome by the mental mapping approach. 1 Mental maps, as Jansen (2011) mentioned, can reveal the interaction between an individual and the surrounding environment, and are used for comparing, analysing, displaying and eliciting mental models, providing many interpretations of people’s spatial perceptions (Eden, 2004), giving respondents a chance to express themselves freely.

  • Title Visitor Attraction Management: a Critical Review of Research 2009-2014 1. Introduction 1.1 Focus and Structure of the Ar
    Title Visitor Attraction Management: A critical review of research 2009-2014 1. Introduction 1.1 Focus and structure of the article Visitor attractions (VAs) are recognised as an under-researched field of study within the tourism system (Weidenfeld, Butler & Williams, 2010; Leask, 2010; Connell, Page & Meyer, 2014). The value of VAs individually and within destinations is clearly observed in government national outcomes, key assets for tourism strategies and destination development proposals. Research is often management orientated and applied in nature. This is a valid area of research due to the significance of the role of VAs within a destination, with recent expansion in the volume and range of the relevant literature, increasing opportunities for sub and cross disciplinary research created by globalisation and technological advances, and the increased volume of tourism contexts for PhD study. Leask (2010) provided a critical review of the literature relating to visitor attraction (VA) management prior to 2009 and identified limitations in the existing academic research and the key challenges facing both VA practitioners and academics researching in the sector. The key findings of Leask (2010) were that academic research in the area of visitor attractions was evident and that the individual nature of VAs and multiple stakeholders, with resultant multiple measures of effectiveness and objectives, had led to development of research across a broad range of disciplines and fields of study. Whilst positive in some respects, this had led to a lack of quality research specifically within the tourism literature, and a heavy reliance on case study based research of a qualitative nature. The agenda for research concluding the article called for the development of “robust methodologies and research methods and the development of an integrated community of scholars with sustained interest in the sector (Leask, 2010:163)”.
