“…Já a função cultura não é geralmente considerada prioritária pelos gestores, portanto, a alocação de recursos em tal função é bastante reduzida. Supõe-se, também, que há dificuldade em mensurar o retorno, ou resultado, das despesas realizadas na função cultura; logo, como os gestores municipais priorizam áreas com retornos mais facilmente perceptíveis pelos cidadãos, principalmente em períodos próximos das eleições (Carvalho & Oliveira, 2009;Klein, 2010;Cavalcante, 2017;Dias, Nossa & Monte-Mor, 2018).…”
