- 論文中文摘要
然而過去研究較少區分和探討以家庭以及集體主義作為核心之東方社會中行動者的獨自旅行，因此本研究藉由獨自旅行者在出發前的準備工作、旅程中的行為，從中探討獨自旅行的認知為何，如何去劃分或是延續旅行與日常間的自我，以及與認同的關聯性。學者Stein提出個人休假時會採取一個臨時的假期身份。度假者透過物品，行為以及與旅伴的互動來定義和劃分與日常生活不同的體驗，因此度假者在旅行時可以基於具有延展性和多重身份性的概念來創建“新”的認同。本研究將以Stein的論述作為主要的理論依據，透過深度訪談的方式，探討獨自旅行者在熟悉他人的缺席之下如何劃分日常生活、形塑及展現自我。
本研究發現獨自旅行者在旅行與日常間的關係及劃界可以整理出三種態樣，分別是將旅行融入日常、旅行從日常抽離以及依據旅行的階段有不同的劃界模式。此外旅行與日常間的界線也會受到旅行的意涵以及動機的影響，並且會與旅行的經驗相連結，個人會因為旅行的經驗而改變對於旅行的認知及實踐，這也顯現出個人在建構認同的過程是不斷變化的。另外根據本研究的資料內容發現獨自旅行者透過觀光與旅行的區隔，展現獨自旅行者的認同，並且透過當地生活的體驗、發現真實性及自我意識這三個不同的面向來區分觀光與旅行的差異，同時會依據當次旅行的目的、是否有同伴以及心境而有不同的定位。

With the advancement of science and technology, the development of transportation and Internet, the increase of leisure time and personal income, sightseeing and travel gradually become a common social phenomenon. In the past, travel was a journey for the upper class to learn about classical culture. In modern times, it is a life break. After leaving the familiar relationship and environment, individuals will have more possibilities to show and transform themselves.
However, previous studies rarely distinguished and explored the solo travel of actors in Eastern societies with family and collectivism as the core. Therefore, this study explores the cognition of solo travel, how does solo traveler divide or perpetuate the self between travel and daily life, and the relevance to identity through the preparations and behaviors of solo travelers. Scholar Stein proposed that individuals take a temporary vacation identity while on vacation. Vacationers define and divide experiences that are different from daily life through objects, behaviors, and interactions with travel companions. Vacationers create "new" identities based on malleable and multiple identities of travel. This study will take Stein's discourse as the main theoretical basis, through in-depth interviews, to explore how solo travelers divide their daily lives, shape and express themselves in the absence of familiar others.
This study found that the relationship and demarcation between travel and daily life of solo travelers can be sorted out in three forms, namely, integrating travel into daily life, extracting travel from daily life, and different demarcation modes according to the stages of travel. In addition, the boundary between travel and daily life will also be affected by the meaning and motivation of travel, and will be connected with the experience of travel. Individuals will change their perception and practice of travel because of the experience of travel, which also shows the process of identification is constantly changing. Moreover, according to the content of this research, solo travelers show the identity through the distinction between sightseeing and travel, and distinguish sightseeing and travel through experience of local life, the discovery of authenticity and self-awareness. At the same time, they will orientate themselves differently depending on the purpose of the trip, the presence of companions, and the state of mind.
