In the global knowledge economy society, the quality of human resource is the key for competition. Adults are the mainstream of workforce and therefore adult learning has been a crucial investment for economic targets. Due to the characteristic, adult learning is offered by diverse stakeholders and how to improve the partnership between providers has been a significant issue. The paper is based on an empirical study in Chinese Taipei’s local communities and there are meaningful results explored into 311 subjects in six different local communities. The findings are intended to apply in APEC member countries and recommendations are raised to develop educational partnership and networking for competing in global knowledge economy society.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the spectator experience and satisfaction with a focus on attachment and a sense of community. The survey was given to random spectators who watched KBO (The Korea Baseball Organization) games in 2018. With 189 surveyed participants, this study used exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis to verify the reliability and validity of the measured variables. The hierarchical multiple regression correlation was employed as a statistical method for the hypotheses of this study. The findings showed that spectators’ experiences have influences on satisfaction. Among the experience factors, education and entertainment affect attachment, and education has the only significant influence on a sense of community. In addition, spectators’ attachment and a sense of community positively influence satisfaction. Attachment and a sense of community have a relatively mediated effect on spectators’ experiences and satisfaction. This study confirmed the need for various spectator experiences at KBO games, and the importance of place attachment or a sense of community.
