Social vulnerability access to culture as a determinant

Abstract

The objective of this article is to analyze access to culture as one of the determining factors in social vulnerability. To achieve the objective, the methodology used was documentary, with a quantitative-qualitative approach and of a descriptive nature; the method used was the inductive one. For its part, the search for information was carried out online in Google Scholar, in the Scielo database, Dialnet. The population was made up of the documents registered under the format of theses/articles/books consulted, with a total of 18 documents, of which were selected through criteria, it is made up of a total of 11 documents from the last two decades. It is concluded that social vulnerability corresponds to a set of social and cultural factors, including access to culture expressed at the macro level in public policies, cultural, educational and micro systems, including cultural institutions or programs, added to this the educational contexts, the quality of the professionals who socialize cultural knowledge, the climate of cultural access, cultural consumption and the leadership that coherently complements said processes. These processes are of vital importance because they specify cultural policies in the social, community and family contexts, in such a way that, without them, there will be no national, regional or local cultural policy that allows cultural access for all, as an effective tool to combat and reduce social vulnerability effectively.
