other surveys including specific questions on cultural participation and related issues) were
identified and relevant questions are summarised in the maps included in the following pages. 3
Most of the surveys chosen were retrieved by an extensive desk research on the Internet. Some
of them are mentioned in the literature as outstanding examples of cultural participation studies.
Whilst the mapping of surveys is extensive, it could not be exhaustive – limitations depend
mainly on language since only studies available in English, French, Italian, Spanish and
Portuguese could be analysed, and also on the effectiveness of Internet research which needed
to be carried out within a limited time span. Nevertheless, in line with the aims of the handbook,
this review was not intended as a tool to map all existing surveys on cultural participation but
rather as a starting point to analyse how different surveys deal with key issues relevant to a
proper understanding of cultural participation.
In some cases (marked with an asterisk in the footnote) where the questionnaire used in
carrying out the survey was not found, the final reports have been used as a source.
Time use surveys were not included because they usually adopt standard questions based on
ICATUS or HETUS systems, while the aim of this review is to identify original questions arising
from various surveys around the world. Alternative methodologies for obtaining statistics on
cultural participation are discussed in Chapter 3.2.1.
