The impact of science and Technology Museum Construction on social and economic development
1 science and Technology Museum and its status quo
Science and Technology Museum is an important infrastructure to improve public scientific literacy and an important platform to provide popular science services for the public. In the national science popularization statistics, science and technology museums refer to science popularization venues named after science and technology museums, science centers, science palaces and so on, which mainly display education and disseminate and popularize science. The Super Science and Technology Museum attracts more audiences. Existing super-large science and technology museums in China include Guangdong Science Center, Liaoning Science and Technology Museum, China Science and Technology Museum, Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, Ningbo Science and Technology Exploration Center, Ma'anshan Science and Technology Museum, Sichuan Science and Technology Museum, Shanghai Nature Museum, Chongqing Science and Technology Museum, Shenyang Science Palace, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Science and Technology Museum. Art Museum, Hangzhou Low Carbon Science and Technology Museum, Qinghai Science and Technology Museum, Shantou Science and Technology Museum, Hebei Science and Technology Museum and Zhejiang Science and Technology Museum. China's science and Technology Museum is dominated by small museums, accounting for about 80% of the total. And the fastest increase in the number of venues is the small science and technology museum, "Science and Technology Museum Construction Standards" pointed out that generally speaking, the building area of science and technology museum should not be less than 5000m2. But in our country, the construction area often fails to meet the requirements.
The number of super-large science and technology museums accounts for only a small part of the total number, but the number of visitors to super-large science and technology museums accounts for a large proportion of the total number of visitors. Large venues have been expanded and converted into super large science and technology museums. Although the number of small science and technology museums is the largest, the annual total number of visitors to science and technology museums accounts for only about one third of the total number of visitors. The proportion of the building area of all kinds of venues is directly proportional to the proportion of visitors. The eastern region is more, while the middle and western regions are less. Most of the super-large and large science and technology museums are distributed in the eastern region. The average scale of science and technology museums in the eastern region is the largest, surpassing that in the western region.
2 the cognition and development process of China's science and Technology Museum location
The establishment of the Science and Technology Museum is based on the role of scientists in the cultivation of talents and the popularization of science and technology. Its aim is to enhance the scientific and cultural quality of the Chinese nation. In different periods, the location of the science and Technology Museum is different.
From the end of 1970s to the beginning of 80s, China's first science and Technology Museum Station was established. The initial positioning of the museum is the science and technology museum, as a place for scientific and technological exchanges and popularization of activities, positioning is relatively vague, not highlighting the core function of popular science education, as a result of positioning vague, thus affecting the later construction work. The second orientation is to publicize scientific and technological achievements for the masses, especially for young people. This period was in the early 1980s, when the Science and Technology Museum was distinguished from scientific and technological activity centers, science and technology palaces, science halls and other places. In this period, a number of venues for popularizing scientific and technological knowledge to the public emerged, and established a good social image, in line with national policies. It has laid a solid foundation for social and government support. The orientation of science and Technology Museum is a multi-functional and comprehensive place for scientific and technological activities, which has its unique background of the times. The unclear understanding of the development law and nature of science and Technology Museum is also one of the reasons for this phenomenon. The fourth orientation is the public welfare science popularization facility, the Ninth Five-Year Plan clearly pointed out that the science and Technology Museum is the science popularization and education facility is also the cultural public facility, and issued a series of measures, science and Technology Museum Construction work. The law of popularization of science and technology has been positioned from the legal point of view, and the construction standard of science and Technology Museum has been positioned as a public welfare science popularization education institution with display education as its main function.
3 science and Technology Museum Planning and function display
First of all, the planning involves the problem of site selection, site selection involves all aspects of urban development, need to be considered from the perspective of urban master planning. Because of its uniqueness, the science and Technology Museum needs to consider some special factors. Site selection should take into account the comprehensive utilization of public space outside the building. According to the relevant national standards, the planning area and building area of the science and technology museum should be more appropriate. To ensure smooth management of roads, adequate activities and exhibition space, green space and other facilities.
The construction of science and technology museum should introduce new ideas, draw lessons from new experience, strengthen theoretical research, establish and perfect the theoretical system of science and technology museum construction with Chinese characteristics. At the same time, we should draw lessons from the concept of other disciplines, from the audience positioning, theme determination, content selection, style design, product creativity, market segmentation, marketing and other links of scientific management, in order to enhance the effectiveness of exhibition education work. The construction of science and technology museum should have a correct orientation, arouse people's curiosity, encourage people to explore the unknown, and form a scientific world outlook of humanistic values. Only by correctly understanding the orientation of science and technology museum can we give full play to its role.
The Science and Technology Museum is a window and an important embodiment of a country's culture, social development and science and technology. It is also a symbol of economy, culture, science and technology and comprehensive national strength. The Science and Technology Museum plays an important role in promoting the scientific and cultural literacy of the people. At the same time, it can also serve the implementation of the scientific concept of development, the building of socialist spirit and political civilization, and the building of a harmonious society. In the new historical period, we should sum up our experience, draw lessons from other people's excellent experience, innovate independently, and build a science and technology museum that meets the needs of the times, so as to maximize its role.
