“…Development is a common theme in all countries and departments. Cultural sustainable development holds that there are three kinds of interactions between culture and sustainability, including that culture is the fourth pillar of sustainable development, culture mediates the development of social, environmental, and economic sustainability, and is regarded as a necessary overall foundation and structure for achieving sustainable development [1][2][3]. Culture plays an important role in promoting sustainable development.…”

Studying the cultural participation model of the public and its influencing factors is important for the sustainable development of regional culture. Therefore, in this study, we determined which factors influence the cultural participation of the Chinese public. Firstly, we extracted the key features of the motivation and timing for a museum visit with multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), and explored the relationship of the features of different motivations with the frequency and duration of the public's visits to the museum. Secondly, we determined the monotonicity of the influence of ordinal variables on cultural participation behavior and identified the mechanism through which the independent variable influences public cultural participation with categorical regression (CATREG). Finally, we analyzed the research data from the museum audience survey in the Hubei Provincial Museum and a national public culture participation survey. We found that education, occupation, academic discipline, income, distance, age, and sex affect the public's museum participation. This indicates that to guarantee the public's cultural rights and promote sustainable development, education, planning, and other aspects must be coordinated in cultural management to increase public cultural participation, rather than removing the economic threshold for public cultural participation through public finances alone.Sustainability 2020, 12, 2890 2 of 22 have a negative impact [5]. Ateca-Amestoy and Prieto-Rodriguez also found that sex influences the behavioral pattern of the public visiting museums, as do occupation and distance [6]. Kraaykamp et al. proved that people who live in urban centers visit museums more often than those who live in other areas, and people who spend more time in museums are less likely to visit again [7]. Brida et al. studied the factors and mechanisms influencing public museum visits from the perspective of visiting motivation, and found that cultural capital, occupation, sex, marriage, economic income, spatial relationship, and other factors all have an impact on the participants' frequency of visiting museums [8]. Van Hek and Kraaykamp studied how cultural preferences are transferred across generations [9], and Willekens et al. focused on the influence of the father and mother's educational level on teenagers' cultural participation motivation [10]. All of these studies are centered around cultural participation and study how the public's cultural participation behavior is affected.Although existing research has provided a wealth of perspectives on public cultural participation behaviors, we found that the existing research on cultural participation mainly focuses on whether the public participates in cultural activities and services, and few scholars have examined the frequency of public cultural participation [7,11]. However, cultural participation is a behavioral activity characterized by multidimensional information [12], including whether the public participates and the frequency of participation as wel...

“…ICTs can also help in the area of cultural sustainability. As stated by Loach & Rowley & Griffiths (2017) cultural sustainability has become a growing priority within sustainable development agendas and is now often depicted as a fourth pillar, equal to social, economic, and environmental concerns.…”

Culture is not only an inherent part of human life but it also creates the potential for economic growth, employment and innovation. For this reason, the European Union considers the development of culture sector and Cultural and creative industries as very important. Nowadays the culture sector is confronted with the penetration of Information and communication technologies. The widespread use of Internet and Information and communication technologies implies more participatory behaviours on the side of users, who are increasingly involved in cultural activities electronically.The presented article is focused on the issue of electronic cultural participation in European Union member countries. The aim is to evaluate the usage of Information and communication technologies for cultural purpose. For the purpose of this aim the selected multi-criteria decision-making method MAPPAC is applied. In the result is presented the ranking of European Union member countries according to the participation of citizens in culture through Information and communication technologies. In the research there was confirmed the importance of Information and communication technologies in European Union culture sector. High involvement of individuals in electronic cultural participation is obvious in developed European Union countries; in less developed countries the electronic cultural participation is habitually lower.

“…Culture sustainability is an important partition of social sustainability [1] and can even be considered as an additional pillar of sustainability [2,3]. Growing interests have been placed on the role of culture in sustainable development [4]. Among them, the preservation of cultural heritage has been widely identified as a key to sustain cultural development [5].…”

Where to Preserve? Evaluating the Integrity Principle for Delineating Protection Scopes of Kaiping Diaolou and Villages

While establishing where to preserve in a world heritage site is critical for heritage protection, management and cultural sustainability, the approach to delineating protection scopes under the integrity principle remains less discussed in literature. This study explores a quantitative approach to evaluating the preservation scopes of the Kaiping Diaolou and Villages (KDVs), a world culture heritage in south China. Diaolous are multiple-story tower dwellings, originally built for defense purposes in the villages of Kaiping, with mixed Chinese and Western architectural styles. We investigate 1629 Diaolous with varying architectural and locational attributes and defensive functions for resisting invasion. We use a GIS-based analysis to identify the boundaries of defensive regions and then categorize them into four types, relying on principal component and clustering analysis. Results suggest that current protection scopes may overlook the spatial organization of Diaolous as a defensive system, failing to consider the cultural value of typology and boundary integrity. The delineation of protection scopes thus need to emphasize functional distribution and organization of historical buildings along with their architectural value.
