Introducing Friction of Space into the Geography of Cultural Consumption
This paper contributes to research on the geography of cultural sectors by exploring cultural consumption habits from a spatial perspective. The study introduces a novel method to the study of cultural consumption spatial patterns by using human mobility data (GPS) to overcome the lack of traditional data on cultural consumption. The results reveal the emergence of spatial inequalities both in the distribution of cultural amenities and in individ…
The spatial dimensions of cultural consumption
Cultural consumption has increasingly acquired a fundamental role in urban policy frameworks, thanks to its empirically proven positive effects on individuals and on societies. Although several theoretical and empirical contributions have examined the main socio-economic determinants that explain cultural consumption; its spatial dimensions remain significantly under-considered and require further analysis. The aim of this paper is to analyse the…
The cultural and creative economy in Italy
In this article, we analyse the structure of the Italian cultural and creative economy, focusing on peripheral areas. We highlight patterns of specialisation and spatial dependency through employment data and firms’ data. In addition, we develop a novel data set by collecting data that use the least aggregated territorial unit, that is, Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics level 4 (from the French version Nomenclature des Unités terri…
Knocking on Hell’s door
How local cultural activities influence development and human behaviour is gaining popularity. Experimental evidence shows that cultural consumption is effective in countering hate. This is crucial, as hate, in turn, has a negative influence on the socioeconomic performance of places. Still, little is known on this, outside few more qualitative case studies. This paper provides a quantitative analysis of the impact of cultural consumption on hate…
Economic complexity and firm performance in the cultural and creative sector
Several studies have detected a positive relationship between the spatial dynamics of cultural and creative industries (CCIs) and their social and economic outcomes. In this article, we draw upon the Economic Complexity Index (ECI) as a proxy to capture the social interactive nature that characterises CCIs and the way this affects firm performance. Our assumption is that more complex locations, endowed with different types of more sophisticated p…
Cohesion Policy, tourism and culture in Italy
European Union (EU) Cohesion Policy aims to reduce regional disparities between countries. The tourism sector has played a strategic role in this policy in the last years. The 2007–13 period developed a new vision focused on the link between tourism and enhancing cultural and natural resources. This paper evaluates this policy by analysing whether EU funds have positively impacted tourism and culture. The synthetic control method is used for 20 N…
A study on envisioning Indian tourism – Through cultural tourism and sustainable digitalization
Culture can be defined as a way of life, a human value and the characteristic of the society and tourism is an activity that is undertaken to explore the above system. Cultural Tourism is a sector that focuses on those geographical areas of a country which reflect the art, architecture, religion and elements of that country. It includes showcasing the tradition, festivals and rituals they follow and how it influences the lives of the people livin…
Study on tourist’s loyalty of Zhinan Village in the view of tourism landscape
With Zhinan Village in Hangzhou selected as an example, an analysis is conducted of tourist’s loyalty of mountainous village tourist attractions in the view of tourism landscapes to put forward suggestions on the optimization of rural tourism landscapes. Based on the evaluation of rural tourism landscapes, structural equation models were employed to process the data with expectation, expectation-confirmation, satisfaction, place attachment, and l…
Can culture save young Italians? The role of cultural capital on Italian Neets behaviour
Cultural capital and income inequality across Italian regions
Historic cultural institutions are known to predict local inequality, but the moderating effect of modern cultural attitudes has not been thoroughly elucidated. Our hypothesis is that local inequality is determined by a moderating mechanism based on the balance between cultural heritage and living culture. We use a unique panel dataset for Italian regions, covering the period 2007–16, and observe that regional inequality decreases where cultural …
The effect of social capital on the development of the social identity of agritourist entrepreneur
There is a lack of research in the progress and evaluation of social capital in the field of agritourism and its effect on the development of the social identity of the entrepreneur. To explore this problem, this article aims to understand the development of agritourism businesses by focusing on the role of social capital and the social identity of an entrepreneur. To achieve this objective and based on a review of the relevant literature on the …
The overlay between demographic characteristics, spirituality and retirement planning, Kenya expose
The subject of spirituality comes at a time when people are asking many questions about life and what the future holds, especially around the pandemic COVID-19. Given that spirituality as a concept has not earned one standard definition, and while not confusing it to wellbeing nor misery, a broad and multidimensional scale of spirituality developed and empirically tested by Gomez and Fisher was found suitable for this study. In this scale, spirit…

Creative Workforce and Economic Development in Precrisis Europe
Building on work funded by the European Spatial Planning Observatory Network 2013 Program, the article analyzes the regional development of the “creative workforce” among its active population against regional economic growth measured by changes in per capita gross domestic product over the period 2001 to 2008. The analysis establishes regional typologies in this relationship according to the “sense” and evolution of this association, allowing a …

Effectiveness and efficiency of European Regional Development Fund on separate waste collection
The purpose of the present paper is to analyze the results of the impact of European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in Convergence regions over the 2007–2013 on separate collection rate of Italian regions. The aim is twofold: propose a groundbreaking analysis that allows us to control both for the effectiveness of the Regulation (EC) No. 1080/2006, by a Difference in differences equation (DID), and the Regions’ efficiency in the separate collec…

Output-orientated Data Envelopment Analysis for measuring recycling efficiency
Pro-environmental behaviours associated with reducing, reusing and recycling have become increasingly matters of public policy concern. However, the existing literature on waste management rarely considers the cultural factors associated with predictors and enablers of recycling behaviours, nor has it deeply explored the relation between cultural access and such behaviours. Mindful of the relationship between cultural participation and learning, …
Cultural Access and Mental Health
A Conceptual Regulatory Framework for the Design and Evaluation of Complex, Participative Cultural Planning Strategies
The current hype about culture-led local development models is causing an increasing interest in cultural policies in the broader context of urban policy. This is not necessarily a transitory situation bound to fade once the hype is over. Under certain conditions, there is room to believe that culture may indeed become a main development driver of urban systems. For this to happen, however, it is necessary to abandon simple mono-causal developmen…

Education and culture
In the most advanced societies, higher life quality and an increase in leisure activities have stimulated cultural consumption and have thereby attracted the interest of economists in exploring issues related to the demand for the arts. In this paper we analyze the relationship between culture and education by providing an empirical analysis of live performing arts in Italy. We apply a multiple regression model on the levels of consumption in 20 …
