摘要：This survey was conducted at Tainan station which is an At-Ground Station. The designation of the Tainan station as a historic site limits, certain changes to the structure such as re-constructed or extended. This study examined passenger behavior in this historic station and how management can design and locate effective information signs with limited operational funds. The three parts of the study were observation, post occupancy evaluation (POE), and interviews and questionnaires. The survey indicated that experienced travelers tend to enter the train station directly, read the A4 information sign to understand the train schedule, buy ticket at ticket vending machine, and then go directly to the platform. The survey results indicated that information signs close to ticket window (A1) should be replaced by information sign A4 which provides immediate information on schedules. This supports experienced travelers, who use information sign A4 most often. Management teams can use good graphic designs on walls and corridors as well as pavements and restrict advertisements to limited locations. Staff should provide temporary support or set up temporary, moveable information signs to guide train passengers. In the future, studies of train stations should investigate information signs to connect the traffic vehicles of its surroundings, and review further improvement for information signs of the station.
