“…Overall, our findings support previous evidence that education is most strongly associated with engagement in the arts [ 12 , 13 , 18 – 24 ]. However, contrary to some recent evidence, we did not find that education was more strongly associated with attending events than other forms of arts engagement [ 25 ].…”

“…First, many previous studies have focused on certain demographic or socioeconomic predictors of arts engagement without always taking into account the broad range of factors that may be related to one another. From these studies, the most consistent predictors of increased arts engagement are higher levels of education and income [ 12 , 13 , 18 – 24 ]. There have been extensive efforts to differentiate the effects of education and income on arts engagement, and it appears that both independently contribute to engagement levels [ 21 , 25 ].…”

Background Engaging in the arts is a health-related behavior that may be influenced by social inequalities. While it is generally accepted that there is a social gradient in traditional arts and cultural activities, such as attending classical music performances and museums, previous studies of arts engagement in the US have not adequately investigated whether similar demographic and socioeconomic factors are related to other forms of arts engagement. Methods Using cross-sectional data from the General Social Survey (GSS) in the US, we examined which demographic, socioeconomic, residential, and health factors were associated with attendance at arts events, participation in arts activities, membership of creative groups, and being interested in (but not attending) arts events. We combined data from 1993 to 2016 in four analytical samples with a sample size of 8684 for arts events, 4372 for arts activities, 4268 for creative groups, and 2061 for interested non-attendees. Data were analysed using logistic regression. Results More education was associated with increased levels of all types of arts engagement. Parental education demonstrated a similar association. Being female, compared to male, was also consistently associated with higher levels of engagement. Attendance at arts events was lower in participants with lower income and social class, poorer health, and those living in less urban areas. However, these factors were not associated with participation in arts activities or creative groups or being an interested non-attendee. Conclusions Overall, we found evidence for a social gradient in attendance at arts events, which was not as pronounced in participation in arts activities or creative groups or interest in arts events. Given the many benefits of engagement in the arts for education, health, and wider welfare, our findings demonstrate the importance of identifying factors to reduce barriers to participation in the arts across all groups in society.

Atecaamestoy, V. et al assessed the characteristics of groups participating in cultural heritage and pointed out that education level and economic power are highly correlated with participation in cultural heritage [12]. Kuo, C. C. et al introduced and analyzed the logic and implementation of Taiwan's legislation related to underwater heritage and discussed the legal provisions of the UCHA, noting that they were mainly borrowed from the U.S. marine conservation-related laws [13].…”

Using new design concepts and design methods to effectively strengthen the digital protection of traditional non-heritage culture is an important measure to promote the development of conventional non-heritage culture. In this paper, the digital protection needs of traditional non-heritage culture are sorted out, including the purpose of digital protection of non-heritage, the design level, and the feasibility of the application of virtual reality technology in the digital protection of non-heritage culture. A platform for the digital protection of non-heritage culture is constructed with the model of PHP technology + MySQL database + Apache server combined with virtual reality technology, and the immersion experience and display dissemination model is designed in this platform. In order to obtain accurate digital images of traditional non-heritage culture, this paper utilizes 3D laser point cloud acquisition technology to reconstruct non-heritage culture in 3D. It combines the ICP algorithm to enhance the point cloud alignment accuracy of digital images of non-heritage culture. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the traditional non-heritage culture digital protection platform proposed in this paper was done through performance tests and application practice. The results show that the number of concurrent users of the platform in this paper can reach the maximum throughput of about 94,300 per second in 2000, the point cloud alignment accuracy of the ICP algorithm has an error of only 0.304mm, and the SUS usability evaluation of the platform scores 80.4 points. The construction of a digital protection platform for non-heritage culture using virtual reality technology can provide users with immersive experience scenes.

“…In Latin America, where 13.2% of World heritage sites are located, Pavlova et al [ 3 ] indicated that this region is severely affected by geohazards. Heritage preservation work and engagement in the region is also obstructed by a deprived education system and low economic status, contributing to deficits in preservation [ 4 ]. These challenges are further amplified as on-going climate change will accelerate the decay processes, due to alteration of temperature and precipitation regimes, in addition to more frequent extreme events and changes in climate variability [ 5 ].…”

Impacts of soil erosion and climate change on the built heritage of the Pambamarca Fortress Complex in northern Ecuador

et al. 2023

The Pambamarca fortress complex in northern Ecuador is a cultural and built heritage with 18 prehispanic fortresses known as Pucaras. They are mostly located on the ridge of the Pambamarca volcano, which is severely affected by erosion. In this research, we implemented a multiscale methodology to identify sheet, rill and gully erosion in the context of climate change for the prehistoric sites. In a first phase, we coupled the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and four CMIP6 climate models to evaluate and prioritize which Pucaras are prone to sheet and rill erosion, after comparing historical and future climate scenarios. Then, we conducted field visits to collect geophotos and soil samples for validation purposes, as well as drone flight campaigns to derive high resolution digital elevation models and identify gully erosion with the stream power index. Our erosion maps achieved an overall accuracy of 0.75 when compared with geophotos and correlated positively with soil samples sand fraction. The Pucaras evaluated with the historical climate scenario obtained erosion rates ranging between 0 and 20 ton*ha-1*yr-1. These rates also varied from -15.7% to 39.1% for four future climate change models that reported extreme conditions. In addition, after identifying and overflying six Pucaras that showed the highest erosion rates in the future climate models, we mapped their gully-prone areas that represented between 0.9% and 3.2% of their analyzed areas. The proposed methodology allowed us to observe how the design of the Pucaras and their concentric terraces have managed to reduce gully erosion, but also to notice the pressures they suffer due to their susceptibility to erosion, anthropic pressures and climate change. To address this, we suggest management strategies to guide the protection of this cultural and built heritage landscapes.
