Cultural Indicators and Benchmarks in Community Indicator Projects: Performance Measures for Cultural Investment?
"The many dimensions, many perspectives, many audiences, and many possible uses of cultural indicators make a journey into the world of cultural indicators a complex one. The required linkages between models, policy frameworks, research foundations, purpose and application, data (availability and quality), the pragmatic realities of creation—and the dangers of inappropriate interpretations require all dimensions should be considered."
"A number of recent publications and projects contribute significantly to the field. The goal of this paper is not to document all the contributions of these developments, however, but to act as a way-finding guide to notable resources. The current paper follows up previous research which examined the rare inclusion (and more frequent exclusion) of cultural indicators in the burgeoning number of quality of life and sustainability projects in production in 2001. It continues to focus on local level projects and on national projects with a local essence. Today, however, the context is a bit different."
