Success in statistical analysis depends on continually juxtaposing the real world and the conceptual world. We use concepts to guide our understanding of the real world; we use the real world to steer us to better concepts and increased future understanding.

World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives
14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK
Main questions we posed to ourselves
• What data do we really need?
• What should be the nature of data collection?
• Do we need the data once a year or once in three years?
• Can we get this data from the existing evidences?
![Page 11: World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives 14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK RECENT WORK IN THE FIELD OF CULTURAL STATISTICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f4e5503460f94c7051e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives
14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK
Main questions we posed to ourselves
• Does some institution – beside Statistical Office - collect these data regularly and we can presume that it would
collect them also in the future?
• Will information provider be able to respond to the question easily?
• Is the number of questions on questionnaire low enough that information provider would be willing to answer?
• Are the questions clear enough?
![Page 12: World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives 14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK RECENT WORK IN THE FIELD OF CULTURAL STATISTICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f4e5503460f94c7051e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives
14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK
Problems we were facing and some solutions
• Lack of co-operation.
• Multiplying of data collection.
• Incompatibility of present data with official evidences of Statistical Office and of Ministry of Culture
• Double counting
![Page 13: World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives 14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK RECENT WORK IN THE FIELD OF CULTURAL STATISTICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f4e5503460f94c7051e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives
14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK
Problems we were facing and some solutions
• Frequency of data collection
• Question: to collect data on art season basis or on yearly basis
• The problem of data quality in case the data would be collected by the institutions that are financially dependent on the data presented
![Page 14: World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives 14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK RECENT WORK IN THE FIELD OF CULTURAL STATISTICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f4e5503460f94c7051e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

REVISION WITHIN THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE
• Initiatives and reason for start
• Overall view
• What kind of data the Ministry collects
![Page 15: World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives 14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK RECENT WORK IN THE FIELD OF CULTURAL STATISTICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f4e5503460f94c7051e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives
14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK
Situation before revision
• None of the Ministry’s evidence were connected to one another, so the same data were registered for several times
• Methodology of data collection was not harmonized between sectors
• Public registers and evidences of the Ministry were made in different computer applications (Excel, Word, Access) or even on cardboard-boxes
![Page 16: World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives 14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK RECENT WORK IN THE FIELD OF CULTURAL STATISTICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f4e5503460f94c7051e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives
14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK
Situation before revision
• The majority of evidences were accessible to one or two persons only
• The manner of data collection and the extent of data available from different cultural fields differed tremendously
![Page 17: World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives 14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK RECENT WORK IN THE FIELD OF CULTURAL STATISTICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f4e5503460f94c7051e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives

Scopes of work

• Methodological harmonization of data collection
• Gradual transmission of public registers, sector and cross-sector evidences into the information base of the Ministry of Culture.
• Transmission of reporting to the Ministry of Culture by public institutions through internet – testing project

II. CULTURAL INDICATORS
![Page 20: World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives 14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK RECENT WORK IN THE FIELD OF CULTURAL STATISTICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f4e5503460f94c7051e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives
14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK
Reasons for growing importance of cultural indicators in Slovenia
Overall cultural indicators and indicators on individual cultural fields
![Page 21: World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives 14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK RECENT WORK IN THE FIELD OF CULTURAL STATISTICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f4e5503460f94c7051e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Some problems connected to cultural indicators
• We do not have internationally harmonized general cultural indicator (maybe 2 or 3, but no more)
• We do not have a set (10-50) of internationally harmonized conventional main cultural indicators
• With the exeption of some fields international harmonisation of data is still at the beginning
• We lack the indicator that would present cultural impact on development
![Page 22: World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives 14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK RECENT WORK IN THE FIELD OF CULTURAL STATISTICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f4e5503460f94c7051e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives
14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK
Some problems connected to cultural indicators
• Problem of so called »cultural indicators« in strategic and operational documents that are not indictors at all: “cultural indicators” cited in the documents are often in fact
- statistical data, - policy goals, - policy provisions - or indicators are defined in such a way that regular
producing of data for their calculation is impossible
![Page 23: World Summit on Arts & Culture -Transforming People, Transforming Lives 14-18 June 2006, NewcastleGateshead, UK RECENT WORK IN THE FIELD OF CULTURAL STATISTICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f4e5503460f94c7051e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Some part solutions before relevant indicators are developed
• Lack of general indicatorPossibility:- Allocated assets of households for cultural activities - the
share of average annual assets of households allocated for cultural activities; with regard to the time span and the comparison with regard to other EU countries (here we got only aggregate data on culture and recreation)
- Time used for cultural activities - time used by women and men aged 10 or over for cultural activities: share of average time per day; comparison with regard to time span and other EU countries
