碩士 === 淡江大學 === 俄羅斯研究所 === 89 === Recently, cultural tourism as a research field has become more and more popular. In fact, it is not only kind of traveling but also has close relationship with post civilization. Many cultural tourism experts in Russia have been investing on this field. With the potential advantage of developing tourism business, I''m greatly interested in this research field--cultural tourism. The main approaches of my dissertation are as following: (1) the approach of cultural history, (2) analysis of historical documents, and (3) field research. (1) dealing with history of traditional Russian culture and tourism, including religious background, meanings of pilgrimage in Russian cultural tourism. In this part, the author also explore the symbolical meanings of Russian cultural tourism, under modern influence of vulgarizing, and try to discover how people get rid of realistic pressure for searching for freedom. (2) dealing with transformation of cultural tourism theories in the 20th century in Russia. This part contains the flowering of local studies, valuable educational tourism in humanity, revolutionary educational tourism in the period of Soviet Union, and the raising concept of cultural tourism in modern time. (3) dealing with the application and investigation of Russian cultural tourism. Owing to the problems of improper management, poorly public security, lack of infrastructure and hygiene result, traveling in Russia is not a great choice for foreign tourists. Recently, Taiwan has frequently contact Russia on the issue of international trade and cultural exchange. Moreover, the number of Taiwanese tourists traveling in Russia is increasing. For those all above reasons, the study of greatly chosen traveling spots in Russia provides tourists and agents in Taiwan deep understandings on Russian cultural tourism and information on the development of new traveling spots.
