The Users of Tripadvisor as the Public(s) of Public History

Tripadvisor reviews reveal that visitors to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome) perceive it as both a historical site and a memorial, reflecting its dual role. The study analyzed online feedback to explore how the public engages with this UNESCO-listed landmark, which commemorates one of history's most devastating tragedies. Unlike traditional academic approaches, this research leverages social media data to uncover public sentiment, demonstrating that digital platforms can provide insights into how people interpret and connect with sites of historical significance.
