Abstract: This paper explores how the support, participation, and attitudes of local residents translate into a prosperous culture-creative industry in Taiwan by performing structural equation modelling (SEM). The culture-creative industry is an industry originated from creative and accumulative of culture, which involves the potential of creating wealth and job opportunity through the formation and utilisation of these culture properties and improve the quality of life. The SEM, a statistical technique, was employed for testing and estimating relationships between factors. The results prove that local mores, values, and customs positively impact the development of a culture-creative industry, making it one of the most important wealth generators in the native community. The outcome of this investigation also affirms the emphasis Taiwan must place on strengthening public relationships, nurturing local identity, and fomenting community participation to ensure the local district enjoys increased returns from its culture-creative industry in the future.
