| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 歐洲文化與觀光研究所 === 104 === With increasing globalization and international tourism, many cities see opportunities to transform traditional cultural festivals into international art events for several reasons: boosting local economies and tourism-related industries, establishing networks connecting local and international resources, and constructively shaping civic image and identity. This case study uses field work, in depth interviews, and review of of Lyon’s Festival of Lights literature to analyze the impacts of transforming a traditional cultural festival into an art event from the perspectives of government and local residents. Results include two areas of impact : (1) social dimensions: enhancing local sense of individual and civic identity, building new social capital, and enhancement of event participation and volunteer (2) cultural dimensions: growth of cultural participation, heritage representation, and development of cultural sectors and creative industries. These results can provide direction for Taiwan’s development of local festivals to meet social, cultural and economic needs.
