这项研究旨在调查美国亚利桑那州公众对遗产财产的认识。这项研究的数据是通过电话调查从亚利桑那州公众中随机抽取的600名参与者中收集的。遗产意识是通过综合衡量遗产意识和居民对遗产遗址的参观而形成的概念。基于这两个测量，本研究提出了一个四单元矩阵，它代表：1)知道/访问，2)知道/未访问，3)不知道/已访问，4)不知道/未访问。当将四种类型的居民与人口统计变量、对保护的态度、保护标准以及特征和设施的重要性进行比较时，这些变量中的大多数都是显著的。研究结果显示，知悉/参观团体成员对文物保护的态度较其他团体为积极。本文认为，居民和游客参观遗产遗址可以帮助树立遗产意识。本研究结果为遗址管理者和政策制定者提供了重要的信息。
This study aims to examine public awareness of heritage properties in Arizona, USA. Data for this study were collected from a random sample of 600 participants from the public in Arizona using a telephone survey. Heritage awareness is conceptualised using a combined measure of heritage awareness and residents’ visits to heritage sites. Based on these two measures, this study proposed a four‐cell matrix that represents: 1) aware/visited, 2) aware/not visited, 3) unaware/visited, and 4) unaware/not visited. When the four types of residents were compared against demographic variables, attitudes toward preservation, preservation criteria, and importance of feature and facilities, most of these variables were significant. The results indicate that the aware/visited group members had more positive attitudes toward heritage preservation than other groups. This paper suggests that visiting heritage sites by residents and tourists can help create heritage awareness. The findings of this study provide important information for heritage site managers and policy makers.
