This is a Pilot Study on building an urban Cultural Indicators System (CIS) for the city of Hong Kong. In this Study, I propose a conceptual framework–the BEAM-GEST cultural model to build the Cultural Indicators System. The BEAM-GEST cultural model covers 4 main key attributes of Culture: Belief and Value Everyday Lifestyle Arts and Creation Memories and Tradition These 4 key attributes are further broken down into 12 indicators. Each indicator is formed by 1 to 3 sub-indicators. A total number of 19 sub-indicators are used in this pilot study. With the BEAM-GEST model as the Conceptual Framework, the BEAM Cultural Indicators system is constructed to analyse the cultural vibrancy of the 18 administrative districts of Hong Kong through a quantitative analysis. With the result of the pilot study, the following observations are made: The BEAM CIS provides evidence of the different cultural characteristics of different districts The BEAM CIS provides evidence of the cultural vibrancy gap between the urban and suburban area The BEAM CIS provides evidence to show the strong relationship between old city areas and their cultural vibrancy |
