Detalles de publicación: [Vancouver] : [Creative City Network of Canada] : [Centre of Expertise on Culture and Communities], 2006Descripción: 13 pRecursos en línea: Resumen: This project brings together indicators developed in selected cultural indicator projects of English-speaking countries outside Canada. The cultural indicator projects were recommended to the Centre of Expertise on Culture and Communities by a community of experts in this field, who were asked to identify recent significant cultural indicator projects. Most of the projects selected for this review are focused on the local level. The reports from these selected projects were scanned for cultural indicators. These indicators were then categorized according to commonly emerging themes, according to their intention to measure the impacts of artistic and cultural activities and amenities on the following: 1. Cultural indicators of environmental enhancement and regeneration of “place” 2. Cultural indicators of individual well-being and personal development 3. Cultural indicators of social capital and community building 4. Cultural indicators of economic development 5. Indicators of cultural vitality of the community 6. Indicators of the health and sustainability of the cultural sector Many indicators were relevant to more than one category of measurement and so were listed according to what seemed to be their “primary intention.” The compiled list of individual indicators organized by these categories is presented in a table at the end of this textual overview. This study recognizes that indicators are notoriously difficult to operationalize and that every indicator is developed and enlisted according to certain assumptions. For example, many indicators attempt to capture data on the arts and culture as if artistic and cultural activities were discrete with clear boundaries. The reality is far muddier. While it may be clear that a painter painting or a dancer dancing is clearly artistic activity, it is less clear as to the status of the teachers who taught those artists, garden design and the culinary arts? The net can quite easily be cast so broadly as to render the data meaningless. In contrast, measurement can be also focused so narrowly, such that it overlooks crucial determinants and impacts of arts and cultural activity in the community.
