Measuring cultural participation in Italy, Annalisa Cicerchia, Dublin 21st September 2013
1. What we measure when we measure cultural participation

The definition of cultural participation depends largely on the definition of culture.
Working on the over 250 definitions identified by Alfred Kroeber and Clyde Kluckhohn back in the 1950s, in 1973 Zygmunt Bauman proposed a threefold distinction: - Culture as a hierarchical concept: one that is acquired and value-saturated, so that having culture is like having a badge; - a differential understanding of culture: there are a variety of ways to live. Culture(s) in this paradigm (the plural form here is significant) are co-extant and comparable. a generic understanding of culture one that appreciates that relationships engaging people and places with plants, animals and larger eco-political systems are both actual and performative. Unesco (2013 Cultural Development Indicator Suite) proposes a simplified twofold distinction: - Culture as way-of-life, values, attitudes, knowledge, skills, individual and collective beliefs (constitutive denition) - Culture as an organised sector of activity (functional definition).
UNESCO
The 2009 UNESCO framework for cultural statistics (FCS) defines cultural participation as including: cultural practices that may involve consumption as well as activities that are undertaken within the community, reflecting quality of life, traditions and beliefs. attendance at formal and for a fee events, such as going to a movie or to a concert, as well as informal cultural action, such as participating in community cultural activities and amateur artistic productions or everyday activities like reading a book.
Moreover, cultural participation covers both active and passive behaviour. It includes the person who is listening to a concert and the person who practices music. Cultural participation does not concern activities carried out for employment purposes; for example, cultural participation would include visitors to a museum but not the paid guide.
Eurostat (1)
For measurement and analysis, it is crucial to acknowledge that cultural participation is a conscious act. According to the Leadership Group Culture (LEG) on cultural statistics, there is participation in cultural activities when in any context and through any channel, with a shared general code of communication, we have senders and receivers paying much attention to forms and contents of messages to increase their own informational and cultural baggage (Eurostat, 2000). Passing a monument by chance while window shopping, for instance, cannot be considered a conscious act of cultural participation. The element of awareness has gained importance in the past few years, with the diffusion of new forms of unintentional consumption fostered by new technologies. Moving forward from the LEG definition of 2000, the 2012 report of the ESSnet, a European Union-wide review and update of the LEG project, has adopted the so-called ICET model, which acknowledges 4 forms of cultural participation:
Information: to seek, collect and spread information on culture; Communication and community: to interact with others on cultural issues and to participate in cultural networks; Enjoyment and expression: to enjoy exhibitions, art performances and other forms of cultural expression, to practice the arts for leisure, and to create online content; and Transaction: to buy art and to buy or reserve tickets for shows.
ESSnet distinguishes between attending/receiving, amateur practice, and social participation/volunteering (ESSnet, 2012).
Eurostat (2) ESSnet Culture recommendations

1) Since cultural practices are an important part of well-being, ESSnet-Culture strongly support the recommendation already included in the LEG Culture report, namely to start a common European survey on participation in cultural activities to be repeated periodically, for instance every five years. The questionnaire of the survey could be included within a survey covering also sports, social and civic participation. If repeated periodically such a survey will be the best way to measure social progress in the EU. Such a large survey cannot be implemented in a near future. Nevertheless a pilot project could be carried out by a limited number of interested Member States with the support of the European Commission 2) ESSnet-Culture recommends including the ICET model in the national surveys on cultural participation in order to test it. ESSnet-Culture hope that a number of Member States would be prepared to carry out this experiment and that the European Commission could support it 3) The new ad-hoc module of EU-SILC, which is planned for 2014, offers a new chance for the collection of reliable and comparable data on cultural and social participation in the European Union. To ensure reliability and comparability, ESSnet-Culture recommends (1) using input harmonization in this survey, (2) harmonizing the data collection modes used in Member States 4) The ESSnet-Culture recommends to integrate the question of culture in the European works on the development of social and well-being indicators and to continue the research on cultural indicators carried out by the TFs of the LEG-Culture, of Eurostat and of the ESSnet-Culture
A few facts and figures about Italy
Starting in 1993, ISTAT carries out a yearly sample survey on various aspects of daily life. About 20,000 families are involved, totalling about 50,000 individuals. Main focus of the survey are: family life, house and neibourhood, education and training, work, commuting, free time and social participation, lifestyle and health, public services access and use.

Multipurpose survey on households (MSH): aspects of daily life (1)

Started in 1993, the sample survey "Aspects of daily life" is a part of an integrated system of social surveys - The Multipurpose Surveys on Household - and it collects fundamental information on individual and household daily life. The survey provides information on the citizens' habits and the problems they face in every day life. In the questionnaires, the thematic areas are on different social aspects consenting to realize which is the quality of individual life, the degree of satisfaction of their conditions, their economic situation, the area in which they live, the functioning of all public utility services, all topics useful to study the quality of life. School, work, family and social life, leisure time, political and social participation, health, life style, access to the services are all investigated from a point of view in which behaviour objectivity, motivations, opinions contribute to define the social information. MSH includes, among its in-depth modules, Leisure time survey and ICT usage in households and by individuals. Data collection mode: Face to face interviewing with paper questionnaire Self-administered paper questionnaire - delivery and collection by interviewers
14

The interviews address all the individuals belonging to the households in the sample. Respondents are all the members of the household. If one of them is unavailable, a new date is established, or, if otherways impossible, questions are posed to another household member, who will respond on behalf of the unavailable person. Households are random draft from municipal population offices lists, according to a sampling strategy aimed at attaining a statistically representative sample of the Italian resident population. Sample Numerosity: MSH is carried out yearly on a sample of about 24,000 households (nearly 54,000 individuals), distributed in about 850 Italin municipalities of various demographic size. Data collection mode: Face to face interviewing with paper questionnaire/ Selfadministered paper questionnaire - delivered and collected by interviewers (PAPI)

Cultural participation is described in terms of:
Attendance/consumption (museums and heritage, cinema, theatre and dance, concerts, visual arts exhibits, purchase of books, music, dvds, digital contents) Access to/ownership of books and technologies, services Cultural practice (book, newspaper and magazine reading, sharing contents on the Internet, arts and culture courses and lessons) Transactions (purchase of books, music, dvds, digital contents, courses and lessons ) Motivation (mainly for NON participation/attendance/practice).
The comprehensiveness of MSH general survey provides a wide range of additional information about social and economic conditions, work and educational levels, demographic size of the city, health status, satisfaction, style of life and consumption, etc. So far, that bounty of data is still largely untapped, but a first attempt at correlating personal satisfaction with life and cultural participation yeld interesting outputs. Other significant outputs have been produced comparing reading habits of parents and children in the same household.

Multipurpose survey on households: Citizens and leisure time (CLT) (1)

1995 to 2006 currently under review new edition due in 2015
CTL is included in the MSH system as a thematic in-depth module. It started in 1995 and was carried out every 5 years until 2006. The 2011 edition was suspended in view of a major re-thinking, while MSH/General and the module on the ICTs were regularly running.
From 1995 to 2006, CLT made it possible to describe systematically a complex and fragmented field such as leisure time and cultural participation, scanning the ongoing deep social and cultural transformations impacting leisure time and daily life in Italy.
The survey focused on notions, attitudes and behaviours related to the leisure time sphere and in particular to that set of behaviours and activities that are tied to cultural participation, sports practice, self care and self fulfillment. Such themes were analysed both along traditional and innovative perspectives, with a variety of in depth examinations in the questionnaire sections, ranging from TV to book reading, from the ICTs use to vocational training.
A pilot survey of the new questionnaire, largely revised in line with 2012 ESSNet Culture recommendations is scheduled in early 2014, and the new CLT is due in January, 2015.

ISTAT CP Indirect data collection: Museum census (2012)(1)

In 2012, ISTAT, the Cultural heritage Ministry and the Italian Regions promoted a census of the nearly 5,000 Italys public and private museums. The questionnaire was mainly supply-side oriented; nonetheless, a number of questions did concern visitors:
Total number of visits (including charged admission visits, educational groups, free visits, groups and temporary exhibitions visits) in the year considered? NB: excluding website visits and special visits and activities outside regular opening hours Total number of paying visits Of which: Number of visits with regular price Of which: Number of visits with reduced price Total number of free visits Of which: Numbers of visits with museum pass, ICOM pass, other passes. Total number of visits by foreigners/non residents (Number or % estimation) Total number of visits by young people/over 65 (Number or % estimation) Total number of visits to temporary exhibitions with separate entrance fees Total net revenue (without TVA) in the year considered () Of which: Entrance fees, season tickets, museum pass, city pass etc Of which: Sale of goods and services (turnover) catering (turnover) Visitor studies carried out by the Museum in the last 7 years Voluntary workers in Museum staff

Is detailed information about cultural offer in the area available at the Museum? Has the Museum carried out surveys or studies specifically focusing on its territory? Has the Museum promoted campaigns specially addressing the local public, children, students, senior citizens, cultural minorities?

Measuring equitable and sustainable well-being (BES benessere equo e sostenibile)

The project for measuring equitable and sustainable well-being, started in 2011, is part of the lively international debate on going beyond GDP. The idea is that macro-economic measures cannot provide a comprehensive view of societal performance and must, therefore, be combined with additional indicators that reflect the quality of life of citizens, taking into account also inequalities and economic, social and environmental sustainability.
The 12 dimensions of well-being: 01. Health 02. Education and tranining 03. Work and life balance 04. Economic well-being 05. Social relationship 06. Politics and Istitutions 07. Safety 08. Subjective well-being 09. Landscape and cultural heritage 10. Enviroment 11. Research and innovation 12. Quality of public services
33
Measuring equitable and sustainable well-being (BES benessere equo e sostenibile) (2) CP Indicators
Domain: Education and training: the indicator suite
1. Participation in early childhood education 2.Percentage of people aged 25-64 having completed at least upper secondary education 3. Percentage of people aged 30-34 having completed tertiary education (ISCED 5 o 6) 4. Percentage of early leavers (aged 18-24) from education and training: 5. Percentage of people aged 15-29 not in education, employment, or training (NEET) 6. Percentage of people aged 25-64 participating in formal or non-formal education 7. Level of literacy 8. Level of numeracy 9. Percentage of people aged 16 and over with high level of ICT competencies
10. Syntetic indicator of the level of cultural participation: Based on the aggregation of the following indicators:
percentage of people aged 6 and over that, in the 12 months preceding the interview, have gone at least once to: cinema, theatre, exhibitions and museums, archaeological sites, monuments, concerts of classical music, opera, concerts of other kind of music; percentage of people aged 6 and over who read the newspaper at least once a week, who read at least one book in the 12 months preceding the interview, who usually read some magazines (weekly or periodic), who watches DVDs at home.

Timeliness: time lag between data production and their public release is reduced.
36

Domains and data warehouse
Information is structured in a modular way, with 9 points of access to data: Books and prints Libraries Archives Museums Sports Performing arts Cinema Radio and Tv Miscellaneous (data concerning culture in general, cultural expenditure of the households, cultural expenditure of the Public Administration, etc. )
A system of automatic query is available, allowing an easy access to data time series on cultural participation and the generation of tables on user-selected items.
