Ever read through a research report and wished that you could have the same types of information for the geographical area that you live and work in?
With this in mind, the West Midlands Cultural Observatory has just published a guidance paper (Word, 226KB) aimed at local authorities in the West Midlands who want to replicate the research presented in the two recent evidence papers:
- Culture & Prosperity: The Economic Role of Culture in the West Midlands (PDF, 1.2MB)
- Culture, People & Place: The Social & Environmental Role of Culture in the West Midlands (PDF, 1.6MB)
This includes, for example, research into:
- Numbers of people employed by cultural and creative industries.
- Rates of participation in cultural pursuits such as visits to museums and art galleries and participation in sport.
- Cultural attractions based in the area.
