从香港的四所遗产建筑中选取了348个有效样本：大馆、荷李活道警察已婚宿舍（PMQ）、美荷楼和The Mills。本研究选择了一个用于偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLSSEM）的数据分析平台。
结果表明，遗产建筑振兴对游客的地方文化认同和导致场所依恋的情感具有有效性。
在我们的研究中，遗产建筑的有效性包括三个要素，即外观与组成部分、技术与规划以及贡献。知识传递对遗产建筑振兴和文化认同的有效性具有正向调节作用。然而，文化活动参与对场所依恋具有负向调节作用。研究结果还表明，遗产建筑振兴中的场所依恋会带来积极的体验延伸。在实际贡献方面，该研究为政策制定者和规划者在历史建筑设计方面提供了见解，如外观与组成部分、促进当地游客地方认同的技术等。
