Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the scope of local cultural policies through an empirical study on the cultural enjoyment gap. For this purpose, the cultural enjoyment status of culturally marginalized groups derived from the review of previous studies was compared and analyzed within the same basic local government. In addition, the experience level of each cultural genre was investigated and analyzed by dividing cultural enjoyment into viewing, participation, and education stages. The results of the analysis showed that, first, when it comes to leisure time for cultural enjoyment, those in their 60s and older, those with lower income levels, and those living in towns and villages have more leisure time on an average weekday. Second, 25% of all respondents have experienced veiwing cultural events. Movies and museums were found to be universal cultural enjoyment genres, and in most genres, the underrepresented groups were found to be real. Third, direct participation in cultural events was lower among those under the age of 50, those with lower median income, and those living in the urban. Fourth, the experience of cultural education was also low, with significant mean differences by class.
