Abstract

Many cities in the world have been seeking a way to design and cultivate sustainable tourism development. This paper uses image materials with thematic sightseeing guides to provide references for sustainable tourism. It also explores the relationship between text and spatial memory by connecting the database and context of time and space and the application of geographic information systems as research methods. The digitization of Taiwan literature and history has produced considerable results, including various databases such as the "White Horror Literature Catalog Database", "Historical Sites of Injustice Database", and "Taiwan Transformation Justice Database". National Taiwan University's digital humanities academic research platform geographic information tool (DocuGIS), also facilitates the establishment of a personal database and cloud mapping. The application of geographic information system to city tourism not only connects the context of time and space but also contains values of human rights, helping to deepen cross-domain academic research and broaden social influence.
