本研究主要探討北縣鶯歌陶瓷博物館觀光客的觀光動機和滿意度，並希望提供給主管單位員工改進及努力的方向，增加更多的觀光客進入博物館能促進鶯歌觀光的發展。首先探討鶯歌陶瓷博物館的人文經濟資源，並依觀光動機及滿意度相關理論進行文獻回顧，並針對鶯歌陶瓷博物館的觀光客進行問卷調查，有效問卷爲300份，運用SPSS統計軟體，依觀光客旅遊特性及個人社經背景，進行統計資料分析。重要發現，參訪者以女性爲主、年齡在21-25歲居多、職業以學生及服務業爲主、教育程度以專科大學最多、大部分居住於北部地區、未婚人士居多，到博物館參觀次數以首次參觀最多，與朋友一同參觀比例最高，來博物館的方式大多爲自行開車，同遊人數多爲一至四人，通常從親友獲得博物館相關資訊。在觀光動機與滿意度方面，皆因觀光客不同屬性而有顯著差異。
