保育，是世界遺産管理各項議題中的第一要務，而遺產所在地的社區居民在其中發揮著關鍵的作用。本文將世界遺產所在地澳門作為研究區域，對當地大學生進行定量的問卷調查，通過主成分分析將其對澳門世界文化遺產——澳門歷史城區的價值認知歸納為文化價值、社會價值與經濟價值三個因素；並在此基礎上利用聚類分析將受訪大學生劃分為文化型、經濟型與否定型三個群組。研究發現，澳門大學生對其世界遺產的價值普遍具有高度的認知，並且伴隨著一定的差異性。而其對遺產所面臨威脅的感知以及對遺產的保護意願仍存在提升的空間。文章最後為澳門青年學生世界遺産教育提出了具有針對性的對策建議。

Conservation is a fundamental aspect of heritage management, especially management of world heritages, which bear unique and universal values for mankind. People in local communities play a vital role in such initiatives, so it is meaningful to learn their attitudes towards world heritages and their motivation to conserve them. This current empirical study selected Macau, where a world heritage is situated, as the study area, and mainly performed a quantitative questionnaire survey on local university students. The principal component analysis identified three factors which can represent the responding students' value perception of the world heritage, namely, cultural value, social value and economic value, based on which, the cluster analysis categorized the students into three types, namely, cultural type, economic type and negative type. According to the findings, local students demonstrate high-level perception of the values of their own world heritage, with certain degree of disparity, in contrast, room still exists for improvement with regard to awareness of threats it is faced with and willingness to protect it, which are only at a modest level. Finally, efforts to enhance heritage education were called for and other recommendations of managerial implications were also proposed accordingly.
