Heritage managers often reuse heritage sites to attract tourists and conserve the sites. Not all adaptive heritage reuses achieve sustainable development. Biophilia is an innate, biological tendency to be close to natural and cultural elements, which may be a critical motivation for achieving sustainable heritage management. Past studies used qualitative and quantitative methods to extract participants' pull and push motivations toward heritage tourism and captured the six motivations of the biophilia framework that should be confirmed: heritage architecture; art activity; wide nature; regional attraction; recreational benefits; and long-term values. The purpose of this study was to conduct a confirmatory factor analysis to test the biophilia framework for understanding biophilic heritage tourism. A questionnaire with 18 items of heritage tourism motivation was used to explore the purpose of this study. A total of 193 valid questionnaires were obtained. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to examine the six motivations of the biophilia framework. The results indicated that heritage tourism motivation consisted of a second-order six-factor structure with high validity and reliability. These six dimensions reflected the biophilic requirements and provided a biophilic planning principle to achieve sustainable heritage management to satisfy the needs of the participants.
遗产管理者通常会重新利用遗产地来吸引游客并保护这些遗产地。并非所有适应性遗产再利用都能实现可持续发展。亲生命性是一种与自然和文化元素亲近的先天的、生物学上的倾向，它可能是实现可持续遗产管理的关键动机。过去的研究使用定性和定量方法来提取参与者对遗产旅游的拉动和推动动机，并捕捉到了应该确认的亲生命框架的六个动机：遗产建筑；艺术活动；广阔的自然；地域吸引力；娱乐效益；和长期价值。本研究的目的是进行验证性因素分析，以检验亲生命框架对亲生命遗产旅游的理解。本研究采用了一个包含 18 个遗产旅游动机项目的问卷。共获得 193 份有效问卷。验证性因素分析用于检验亲生命框架的六个动机。结果表明，遗产旅游动机由二阶六因素结构组成，具有较高的有效性和可靠性。这六个维度反映了亲生命的要求，并提供了一个亲生命规划原则，以实现可持续的遗产管理，满足参与者的需求。
