Analysis of cultural dynamics in the city of Seville

This project seeks to know the impact and socio-cultural dynamics in the city of Seville. Unlike other studies that seek to know the aggregate effect of a critical mass of cultural or artistic associations in a territory on subjective well-being or other variables, or studies focused on the economic impact of an event or relevant infrastructure, with this project a multiple position will be adopted.

The general objectives are structured in the following sections:

• A review of the literature in order to know what has been done in similar cases.
• The study of the economic impact is ruled out and the study of the sociocultural effect is proposed. To do this, a diagnosis of the situation in Seville is made on a double plane: demand, supply and organizational structure.
• It describes how the cultural demand is making some assumptions and advances the organizational fabric in which the different cultural organizations active in the city of Seville register to know the relations that they present between them.

To know the demand, the offer and the cultural structure in the city of Seville, this project adopts a multiple position with different lines of research.

On the one hand, surveys are carried out on a representative sample of inhabitants of the city of Seville distributed by districts. These surveys are reinforced with the use of discussion groups. On the other hand, the cultural offer in Seville has been dissected in recent years in order to establish typologies and see where the different cultural organizations fit. From the side of the cultural structure, a map of the cultural organizations of the city of Seville is made in order to discover the network of organizational relationships of the city in the culture sector. This framework is geolocated and is subjected to the analysis of organizational networks.
