Abstract

The study integrated the attractions of traditional crafts in Taiwan and explored the relationship among attractions. Results from eleven studies covering seven types of crafts, were summarized and classified using the Evaluation Grid Method (EGM) framework, which helped in creating an EGM chart outlining the attractions of traditional crafts in Taiwan. Additionally, we calculated the number of crafts that mentioned each attraction and investigated the connections among the Actual charm characteristics. The findings revealed that seven types of crafts referred to Unique material appearance, while six types of crafts were related to Creative. It was found that the attractions of materials involve different senses such as vision, touch, and smell, thereby emphasizing the importance of the material to the overall attraction of the craft. Besides, the relationships among the Actual charm characteristics were categorized into External attractions of handicrafts, Internal attractions of handicrafts, Attraction of making techniques, and Emotional attractions.
