“…Respondents from eastern Taiwan (e.g. Hualien or Taitung County) scored higher on authenticity measures compared with respondents from northern or central Taiwan, confirming the findings of Chang et al (2008), that perhaps they have more opportunities to experience aboriginal cultures and to interact with aboriginal people because most aborigines live in eastern Taiwan.…”

“…From the demand-side, issues such as the characteristics of tourists and their behaviors at aboriginal sites, their assessments of the authenticity of woven products and other souvenirs, and the extent to which such tourists seek novel experiences have been examined (Chang, Wall, & Chang, 2008;Chang, Wall, & Chu, 2006). Such studies have embraced cases where aboriginal tourism products are not the only ones available, as well as annual aboriginal festivals (e.g.…”

“…Therefore, the Atayal tribe is Taiwan's second largest Indigenous group after the Amis. The Taiwan Atayal people have preserved their own languages (Huang 2008;Tsai and Wu 2012), customs (Chang et al 2008), diets (Lin et al 2008), and social organizations (Tang and Tang 2010).…”

The history of Taiwan's Indigenous peoples is not well developed in written form, but has been passed down in oral form based on memories from the collective consciousness. However, tracing the cultural roots of Indigenous peoples' concepts of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and science is necessary to more deeply engage with Indigenous epistemologies. The main purpose of this narrative inquiry is to explore traditional concepts of the Indigenous Atayal aborigines of gaga (moral rules) and utux (faith) from a hunting culture, which has constructed their sustainability. This study was performed using qualitative social sciences. We listened to and collected stories by local tribes that live at elevations of 300-1300 m in northern Taiwan, and then conducted an analysis based on a joint construction of cultural meanings from rightsholders such as Atayal officers, tribe leaders, and local hunters. Using concepts from TEK, we determined how these concepts of gaga and utux became established in the lives of the Atayal people, and how Indigenous Atayal hunters have devoted their skills to maintaining the culture which sustains their resilient landscapes and ecosystems. Through the special cultural connotations of hunting knowledge and specifications, the hunting behavior of Taiwan's Atayal can shape a harmonic balance with ecological systems, and facilitate learning about competition and rules of survival in the natural environment.

“…In the existing literature, only a few studies could be identified which examined perceived authenticity in a tourism context, but these studies have focused on arts and crafts (Chang, Wall, & Chang, 2008;Revilla & Dodd, 2003), historic parks (Chronis & Hampton, 2006;Chronis & Hampton, 2008), heritage sites (Kolar & Zabkar, 2007;Kolar & Zabkar, 2010) and festival events (Chhabra, Healy, & Sills, 2003). The importance of authenticity has been demonstrated.…”

This study is basically an explorative and explanatory research, with the overall purpose to identify, explore and analyze the tourists' perceived authenticity of culture heritage. This study proposes to identify and evaluate the impact of authenticity by tourists' perceptions of culture heritage on their experience quality and behavioral intention, from which implications for the sustainable development of culture heritage tourism can be derived. The results showed that perceived authenticity has a positive effect on experience quality. Furthermore, experience quality performed a significance function in behavioral intention, while the effect of perceived authenticity on behavioral intention is insignificant. These results imply that the importance of perceived authenticity on behavioral intentions is recognized via the mediating effects of experience quality.
