Keywords:
subjective quality of life, outside and inside cultural activities, pilot studyAbstract
The objective of this paper is to explore the ways cultural activities influence on the evaluation of the consumers’ Quality of Life (QoL). In this sense, and according to the results of previous researches, the main question is determining the global or multidimensional level of measurement. Furthermore, it is necessary deciding the broad or narrow interpretation and measurement of cultural activities.
In this research the relationship between the cultural activities and the subjective quality of life was investigated by two approaches (direct and indirect). Then a pilot study was conducted according to the aim of the research in pursuance of the exploratory research results. Findings show that most preferable cultural activities have a positive effect and influence on the different life domains. Finally, obtained results and main methodology questions for the empirical research are discussed
