The 2007 Cultural Consumption Barometer

The 2007 Cultural Consumption Barometer had the goal to describe and analyse the infrastructure and cultural consumption behaviour in Romania, and it was a resumption of the researches carried out in 2005 and 2006 on these themes.

 In order to measure the development degree of the cultural-goods distribution infrastructure, of the cultural needs and participation, a nationally-representative survey was carried out, for the population aged over 15.

The results showed an increased need for written-culture outlets, such as press kiosks, bookstores or libraries. From the viewpoint of the private consumption, the TV and radio are the most accessed, while the computers started to have a significant statistical weight. As regards the cultural leisure activities, Romanians prefer local celebrations, performances and, to a lower degree, museums.
