Setorial Panorama of Brazilian Culture - 2011|2012

The cultural producer, therefore, is in a large universe, a numerous and difficult one
to measure. Thus, in order to consistently access this important player in the cultural sector
and the most varied nuances and shades of his function in the country, some criteria were
established for the selection of the universe of quantitative research that makes up the PSCB.
Due to the activity of the Federal Law of Culture Incentive, the Rouanet law, throughout
the country, its importance in the last years - already presented in the text Brazil and Culture
- was considered as representative for this study. Thus, the national base of proponents made
available by the Ministry of Culture in the Salic.net system was chosen for the construction
of the universe of quantitative research. This base is formed by individuals and legal entities
who, at some point, presented a cultural project to evaluate and obtain the benefits of the
law, consolidating, therefore, executors of projects of the most diverse characteristics. The
studied universe considered cultural producers and proponent of projects under the Rouanet
Law, enrolled in the Patronage, National Culture Fund (FNC) and Treasury Resource
mechanisms; with projects presented between 2007 and 2011; composed of natural and
legal persons. These criteria demonstrated a universe of 14,853 names in the national
territory. The survey database was built using information from Salic.net during the period
from 7 to 29 April 2011. In all, 7,000 names were organized, considered as the viable
universe of the research, that is, the one that enabled the sample drawing.
7.000NAMES
For the drawing of the sample, the following was considered in an identical
proportion to the universe:
• Year of entry of the project application;
• State of origin;
• Person type;
• Cultural area of the project;
• Mechanism of law;
• Access data of the proponent.
500
INTERVIEWS
In order to obtain a 95% confidence index and an acceptable margin of error for
more or less than 4.22%, corresponding to the viable universe, the survey considered a
sample of 500 interviews, drawn among all contacts, thus ensuring randomness in the
interviewee's choice. Quotas for type of person (PF and PJ), state and cultural area were
also stipulated, so that the study had a stratified representation of the selected universe.
