Title

Poket Xinwu App game for promotion of the Stone Tidal Weirs cultural heritage and collaboration with local communities in Taiwan

Description

The topic of this abstract fits best within this Session 12 because the study aims to investigate the
potential of digital technologies in promoting the cultural heritage of Stone Tidal Weirs, also known as
"Stone Tidal Weirs" in Taiwan. The Stone Tidal Weirs are an integral part of Taiwan's history and
culture, yet their significance is often overlooked. This study aims to address this by utilizing digital
technologies to raise awareness about Stone Tidal Weirs and their cultural significance, as well as the
ecological significance of the Stone Tidal Weirs in near-shore ecosystems.
A mobile application, Poket Xinwu, was developed in collaboration with local communities and
university groups to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the information provided. The app features
interactive content that allows users to learn about the Stone Tidal Weirs and their surroundings in an
engaging and intuitive way. Additionally, the app aims to raise awareness about the environmental issues
surrounding Stone Tidal Weirs and the importance of preserving the local ecosystems. The app also
serves as a tourism promotion tool, encouraging visitors to explore the Stone Tidal Weirs and learn more
about marine culture.
The study found that the app game was successful in promoting the cultural heritage of Stone
Tidal Weirs and raising awareness about their significance. The app's interactive content and the
collaboration with local communities were identified as key factors in its success. The study concludes
that digital technologies can be effectively utilized to promote and preserve cultural heritage and can
foster collaboration and understanding between local communities and visitors.
