Pursuing Happiness: Human Rights and Taiwan’s Contemporary Travel Culture

LIN Shu-Hui

Cultural heritage sites preserve the traces of people’s life history around the world. With an understanding of the historical context and meaning of such sites, people begin to cherish their value and then adopt appropriate preservation strategies. Human rights as a universal value refer to the inalienable and basic rights of human beings. In this lecture, I will introduce how I have used the National Cultural Heritage Network to trace Taiwan’s human rights-themed sites. The lecture illustrates how I applied the spatial information technology DocuSky, drawing with GIS and visualization tools. By thus combining spatial information with research on human rights-themed cultural assets, I aim to deepen local cultural identity and unveil how knowledge gained in and through the Humanities may shape and influence spatial practice.
