However, due to shifts in economic production and living conditions, a substantial portion of the local intangible cultural heritage has gradually lost physical space for preservation and presentation. In recent years, the application of digital technologies has created extensive digital exhibition platforms and diverse display modalities for the preservation, revitalization, and dissemination of this intangible cultural heritage. Nevertheless, there remains a need for further research into the user experience of digital repositories of intangible cultural heritage and the factors influencing public acceptance of digital technologies in the preservation of such heritage. This paper, adopting a perspective of digital humanities and utilizing the Zhuhai Intangible Cultural Heritage Database as a case study, employs a combined qualitative and quantitative research approach to investigate the user experience and factors impacting the acceptance of this digital repository for intangible cultural heritage. The initial stage of this study involved interviews with intangible cultural heritage custodians and users to gauge their satisfaction and willingness to use the Zhuhai database. The subsequent stage utilized the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) theory to probe the factors affecting user satisfaction and their intention to sustain usage of the Zhuhai Intangible Cultural Heritage Database. Based on the research results, this study offers optimization strategies for the Zhuhai Intangible Cultural Heritage Database, thereby providing a sustainable solution for the safeguarding and presentation of Zhuhai s intangible heritage.}, booktitle = {HCI International 2024 Posters, PT III, HCII 2024}, series = {Communications in Computer and Information Science}, volume = {2116}, pages = {325-334}, isbn = {978-3-031-61949-6 978-3-031-61950-2}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-61950-2_36}, note = {ISSN: 1865-0929}, }
