Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 國家發展研究所 === 96 === Today, in the globalization age, many cities in the world show their cultural characters and promote the international image. Those festivals that hold in Edinburgh every year in summer, have been kept for a long time but never failed, and created their own brand and famousness. And we could see country and local government present the advantage and lights to the world through the way of cultural governance. Not only helpful to rise local economics, but also can raise the efficiency of governance. Besides the government, it must be accommodated by local industries, residents of the community, and local associations. Therefore, in the conception of governance, the public-private partnership and the participation of citizen society is more important. And it also needs the government with broad sight and magnanimity of governance to provide guidance and patronage to the folk. This thesis is primarily processed by content analysis, researches in the way of literature analysis and history-comparison analysis, to see the correlativity between cultural policy and the sustainability of Edinburgh International Festivals, and how the government relates with the folk. Through the international festivals of Edinburgh, to be a studied case, we will examine the origin and development at first, to formulate the meanings of the festivals, the historic cultural background, operating organization, and programs planning. In the meanwhile, to introduce the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Then to research the cultural background of British and Scotland, and to see how they propelled their cultural policy and cultural industries, and also talk about the effect of EU cultural policy. It also has the induction of Edinburgh''s urban cultural policy and tourism. Finally, it would be a case study of Edinburgh International Festival. There we can see how to build up an international festival, and its urban governance and sustainable development. In recent years, there are many tourist festivals appearing in Taiwan. This research focuses on how Edinburgh develop from a local city to an international city, how the public department cooperates with private groups, urban cultural governance, and tourism development. It also presents some advisory and prospection to the future festivals in Taiwan. It is believed that festival activities improve not only economic development, but also culture identification, form of urban image, and quality of life.
