碩士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 國家發展研究所 / 101 / As the issue of “city image” receives significant attention in the late decades, an extensive amount of academic works have also been contributing to the related subjects, although with approaches and perspectives that vary. In the current thesis, the researcher addresses the issue in the context of city tourism and attempts to answer the questions: how do cities use their cultures to present themselves, and what do these cultures mean? To provide a profound investigation of the researched issues, this research takes Taipei and Shanghai, two cities with cultural proximity, as subjects of case studies, and adopt David Throsby''s idea of “cultural capital” as its approach.
The core idea of Throsby''s "cultural capital” is to take culture as a capital; in other words, culture could be fuel for regional economic development. With this premise Throsby inquires how culture capitals maintain their sustainability. Based on the approach of cultural capital, the researcher analyses the cities'' images based on the city marketing documents, travel guide books, and field investigations in both cities. The research found that both cities use their original cultures as capitals for tourism development, and these cultural capitals are results of the historical accumulation, and at the same time responses to the structural changes of global political economy.
