Abstract (en): The Local Arts Index was developed in response to an interest in "scaling-down" the National Arts Index (NAI) to the community level and to the growing demand for comparative information on arts at the community level. The LAI was developed in partnership with arts leadership organizations in over 100 communities and is comprised of a variety of indicators to understand who we are as a community and how that manifests itself through cultural activities and participation. Indicators are a systematic data collection initiative that is conducted regularly over time. The LAI compresses many arts indicators into one number that is calculated the same way and at regular time intervals, making it easy to compare performance between time periods. The LAI collected county level data such as nonprofit arts revenue and expenditures, creative businesses and nonprofit arts organizations per 100,000 residents, arts share of businesses, employees, establishments, and payroll, estimated expenditures on arts equipment, number of visual and performing arts degrees, and adult population attending arts and culture activities. Demographic information includes median measures of age, household income, and year housing was built, as well as population density, and population share that was over 65, non-English speakers, and non-white. The purpose of the Local Arts Index (LAI) is to provide a set of measures to understand the breadth, depth and character of the cultural life of a community, as well as provide a framework for relating arts and culture to community priorities and aspirations. The P.I.s used the county as the unit of analysis; the 2010 Census lists 3,143 counties or equivalents in the 50 states plus the District of Columbia. To measure a wide range of local arts and culture activity, the P.I.s gathered several hundred micro-level, specific measures of arts activity, resources, participation, and character, from which a smaller number of useful county-level indicators of arts and culture were produced. The P.I.s set each of the indicators in a conceptual framework, the Community Arts Vitality Model. The secondary data sources provide information for varying numbers of counties. Typically, there is ample data to describe urban counties, less for rural counties. The indicators span multiple years, and almost all are from 2011 or later. This study has 3146 cases and 147 variables. Variables include county-level information on adult cultural participation, nonprofit arts expenditures, per capita arts expenditures, nonprofit art program revenues, government art grants per capita, arts-related establishments per 100,000 residents, weight of arts sector in community's business population, grant success rate, institutional or entrepreneurial factor of cultural character, number of historic places per 100,000 residents, and professional arts training. Demographic information includes bureau of economic analysis region, population density, median age, population share over 65, population share that are non-English speakers, population share that is non-white, median year housing built, population share with a bachelor's degree, household income, population share commuting to work, per capita income, and total population. ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection: Created online analysis version with question text.; Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes..

The survey focuses on a wider social space where culture is created and interpreted. However, the culture is not perceived as a unified system but as a set of repertoires consisting of symbols, stories, rituals, and manuals that people choose from when they form and justify their actions. The survey seeks to understand the culture by using these repertoires and is therefore designed quite broadly - it is aimed at the perception of culture and within this perception, the survey concentrates on cultural participation, cultural identity, relationship to other cultures and collective memory as well as on social capital and leisure time. A key role in the survey is played by values and the effort to point out the links that values have to other studied phenomena. The survey sample is representative of the population of Slovakia over 16 years of age and was compiled by using quota selection.

The purpose of the study: to analyse Lithuanian residents opinion about the accessibility and quality of cultural products and services and to assess the level of the population’s consumption of cultural products and services and participation in the cultural activities. The study investigated the following topics: Performing arts: Participation in amateur activities Attending events in Lithuania and abroad Watching or listening to live broadcasts or recordings Architecture, design, visual arts and crafts: Participation in amateur activities Attending events in Lithuania and abroad or online Cultural heritage and museums: Visiting museums, places of cultural heritage Using virtual programs about cultural heritage UNESCO Archives: Visiting and applying to archives in Lithuania and abroad Access to archive records and information on the Internet Books and press: Purchase and reading of books and periodicals Participation in book fairs in Lithuania and abroad Public libraries: Visiting libraries Using library services Participation in library activities Cinema and video art: Watching movies Participation in film festivals and other events Radio, TV and Internet: Participation in amateur activities Frequency of watching and listening to television and radio programs General questions: Obstacles in cultural activities Volunteering, sponsorship and donation Availability and quality of cultural services Use of the Lithuanian language Socio-demographic characteristics: sex, place of residence, county, municipality, size of area of residence, age, nationality, education, occupation, position, marital status, household size, number of children aged 14 years, average monthly income per family member. The survey on people's participation in culture and satisfaction with cultural services is based on the European Statistical System Network on Culture (ESSnet-Culture) methodology for participation in culture, complemented by themes relevant to monitoring Lithuanian culture consumption. In 2012, the ESSnet-Culture methodology was proposed by the EU Council for Education, Youth, Culture and Sport as a basis for the harmonisation of cultural statistical systems and methodologies for data collection in the cultural sector in EU countries.

Objective: The longitudinal study "Cultural Education and Cultural Participation in Germany (KuBiPaD)" examines patterns of cultural participation in Germany on the basis of a standardized population survey. The study was launched as a cross-sectional survey in 2018 and was expanded into a panel study in 2021. Cultural participation encompasses the consumption, reception and non-professional production of artistic goods in the fields of music, film, literature, performing arts and visual arts. In the second wave of the survey, the focus was expanded to include participation in gaming/video games and the media consumption of cultural offerings. In order to explain participation in culture, variables relating to resources and opportunity structure, socialization stimuli and personal preferences and skills were collected. A special instrument was developed to measure cognitive skills in the fields of painting and music. In the second wave, a factorial survey experiment was also conducted in the field of literature.

Method: The population of the baseline survey consisted of German-speaking people aged 15 and over living in private households in Germany. In a two-stage selection process, a random sample of 200 sample points in 183 municipalities was first drawn, stratified according to a combination of districts and BIK10 region size classes. In the second step, people aged 15 and over were randomly selected from the population registers of these municipalities. In standardized, computer-assisted face-to-face interviews (CAPI), 2592 people were interviewed between July and December 2018. The response rate was 22.9%. In the second wave, 1541 people took part in the survey again. The re-interview rate was therefore 59.5%. In addition, to compensate for the reduced number of cases, a new resident register sample of people aged 15 and over in private households was drawn at random from the same 183 municipalities as in the first wave. In the end, 914 people from the refreshment sample were interviewed. The response rate was 20.1%. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the interviews in the second wave were mainly conducted by telephone, but some were also conducted face-to-face (CAPI). The literature experiment was implemented as part of a short online questionnaire ("online drop-off"). Individual modules and questions were only presented to subsamples of respondents.

Questionnaire content: Leisure time behavior; preferences, consumption and reception in the fields of music, film, literature, gaming, performing and visual arts; media participation in culture; preferences for experimentally recorded song variations (subsample); reception of a visual stimulus (Peter Doig: "100 years ago", subsample); cultural self-production with a focus on music-making; further cultural education with a focus on libraries and adult education centres; cultural socialization with a focus on family and school; cultural identity; symbolic boundaries; legitimacy of cultural offerings; legitimacy of plays (factorial survey, subsample); personality; political interest; party preference; economic and cultural capital; extensive module on socio-demographics; household; partnership; children; social network; competence tests in the fields of painting and music (subsamples).

Demographic composition of focus group participants.

The indicator is created from the Eurobarometer 79.2 survey’s GESIS datafile using regional subsamples. The regional subsamples were recoded to the NUTS 2016 regional boundary definitions with the regions R package. In the larger countries, where only NUTS1 level information was present (for example, in Germany and the United Kingdom), we imputed the NUTS1 territorial average values to the constituent NUTS2 regions.

A ‘dirty averaging’ was used to create regional averages, with scale national post-stratification weights to an expected value of 1. Respondents who replied to the question ‘Why did you not visit a library’ with a reply indicating lack of local supply were coded with one, and every other respondent with zero.

This indicator was used in the

The purpose of the study: to analyse Lithuanian residents opinion about the accessibility and quality of cultural products and services and to assess the level of the population’s consumption of cultural products and services and participation in the cultural activities. Major investigated questions: the first part of the survey started by investigating respondents' involvement in performing arts activities and events during the past 12 months. A block of questions was used to ask whether they had participated in any amateur or professional activities in their spare time (Acted in a theatre performance; Directed a theatre performance; 8 in total). Next, respondents' social participation and volunteering in performing arts activities were investigated (Volunteered (for performing arts) in your workplace, group, or ensemble; 3 in total). The idea was to discover if they attended events, including festivals and other events in Lithuania or abroad (Theatre performance; Literary readings, book presentations; 17 in total). Further inquiries were made about how often they watched live streaming of events outside their home (e.g., outdoors, in a cinema, public library or other venue) (Theatre performance; Literary readings, Book presentations; 16 in total) or listened to recordings of events (Theatre performance; 16 in total). Respondents' views on changes in the availability, accessibility, and quality of performing arts events were surveyed, and the change in quality during the past year was assessed. Another part of the survey explored respondents' involvement in architecture, visual arts, and craft activities and events during the past 12 months. A block of questions was used to ask whether the respondents were involved in any of the following activities in their free time (Drawing, painting, printmaking (handmade); Taking artistic photographs (not including family or holiday photos); 7 in total). Further, respondents' social participation and volunteering in architecture, visual art and crafts activities (Member of a society, club or group of amateur artists or craftspeople; Volunteered in this society, club, or group; 5 in total) and usage (Visited exhibitions of paintings and prints, photographs, sculptures, handicrafts; Visited virtual exhibitions of visual arts or crafts; 4 in total) were also investigated. Respondents' views on changes in the availability, accessibility, and quality of fine arts and crafts exhibitions were surveyed, and the change in the quality of the exhibitions in the last year was assessed. The survey further explored respondents' involvement in heritage-related activities in the 12 months. A block of questions was used to ask whether they had engaged in any of the following activities in their spare time (Collected objects; Searched the archives and/or the internet for genealogical or historical records; 3 in total). Further, respondents' social participation and volunteering in heritage-related activities (participated in a cultural society, club or community; 2 in total) and use (Visited a museum; Visited galleries or exhibitions; 4 in total). Furthermore, they were asked which museums, galleries, or exhibitions they had visited in Lithuania and abroad (Art; History and Archaeology; 8 in total). The survey also asked Lithuanians to indicate which cultural heritage sites: monuments, buildings, or places they had visited in Lithuania and abroad (Historical sites; Ancient, famous buildings; 6 in total). The second part of the survey explored respondents' involvement in archives activities and events during the past 12 months. A block of questions asked whether they had engaged in any of the activities in their free time (Visited, contacted an archive in Lithuania; Searched for archive records (information) on the Internet on Lithuanian archive portals; 11 in total). It also explored respondents' views on whether there has been a change in the accessibility and quality of physical archives and online archives services, as well as museums, cultural monuments, and archaeological sites, and assessed the change in quality over the last year. The survey also asked whether the protection of cultural heritage has improved. Another part of the survey explored respondents' involvement in book and print-related activities in the last 12 months. A block of questions asked whether they had engaged in any of the activities in their spare time (Wrote fiction or non-fiction in your spare time; 2 in total). Next, respondents' social participation and volunteering in activities related to books and the press were investigated (Were a member of an (amateur) writers' or journalists' society, club or group; Attended (creative) writing courses, classes; 7 in total). The survey asked respondents approximately how many books they have at home. A block of questions asked whether they read a printed or a digital book in their free time. Next, respondents were asked how many books they had read in the last...

The Australian Cultural Fields (ACF) questionnaire was modelled on the French study pioneered by Pierre Bourdieu (1984). While there have been many subsequent studies that have explored the cultural tastes and practices of particular social groups or educational cohorts, or focused on particular cultural fields, there have been only a few national surveys encompassing a wide range of cultural fields. Such surveys have been conducted in Australia (Bennett et al., 1999), Britain (Bennett et al., 2009), Denmark (Prieur et al., 2008) and Serbia (Cveticanin and Popescu, 2011). In building on these earlier studies, the ACF survey sought to address the distinctive socio-cultural coordinates of a settler-colonial society with an Indigenous population asserting an increasingly strong cultural presence, and a large and growing multicultural population with a rapidly changing composition from mainly southern European sources of migration towards east and southern Asia. The key innovations in questionnaire design are that, by opting for an in-depth inquiry into patterns of consumption in the art, literary, sport, television, heritage and music fields - but excluding other areas: film and culinary practices, for example - we were able to go beyond questions relating to tastes for the main genres and patterns of participation most strongly associated with those fields, to ask our respondents whether they recognised, engaged with and, if so, liked or disliked an extensive repertoire of named cultural items. These were further differentiated according to whether they were international or Australian in provenance, ensuring that the international items were spread across Europe and America with some items from Asia. The Australian items identified for each field also included examples of Indigenous culture available to 'mainstream Australia'. The questions focused on the six cultural fields were followed by detailed explorations of the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents. These included age, gender, occupation, class position and identification, level of education, field of study and university attended for those with tertiary education, occupations of partners, levels of education for partners and parents, ethnicity and ethnic identification, country of birth, Indigenous identification, level of income, capital holdings, housing and place of residence. After the survey was completed, follow-up interviews with 42 participants were undertaken. Selection of those interviewed was based on accessing participants who reflected the issues and circumstances the project was examining, rather than statistically representative cohorts. Consequently, interviewees were selected to capture a range of people across age, gender, class, education and income levels. Fifteen of the participants came from the survey’s boost samples. Because of the difficulty of finding young Indigenous participants, we included an interview with one person in this category who had not completed the survey. While most interviewees were drawn from Sydney and Brisbane and their fringe areas, there was a selection from regional centres.

Museums and galleries have a range of local impacts, including promoting education and well-being and a sense of identification with their locality. The national Taking Part survey has demonstrated the links between participation in cultural activity and community cohesion. Therefore this measure will focus on engagement by the adult population (aged 16 plus) who say they have attended a museum or art gallery in the local area at least once in the preceding 12 months.
