ABSTRACT The preferences for cultural policies, and for local and regional cultural infrastructure (such as theatres, museums) are studied within a framework of stated preferences. The agreement to cultural policy statements is not substantially different between urban or rural areas. Most of the respondents expressed a general willingness to contribute to a (hypothetical) regional cultural fund to support thelocal cultural infrastructure. Their annual per-capita willingness-to-pay (WTP) amounts to about €29 to maintain the quality that exists already, and €27 for a 10-percent increase in regard to the quality and quantity of cultural events. Given the Austrian municipalities’ annual per-capita expenditures of approximately €90 for the local cultural infrastructure, the WTP of the respondents is substantial. The determinants of the WTP include socio-economic attributes, as well as cultural policy preferences. The differences between urban and rural populations are not to be found, but personal experiences with cultural events (cultural participation and childhood experiences) are the main determinants of the higher willingness-to-pay.

城乡对文化政策和基础设施的偏好

摘要 对文化政策以及地方和区域文化基础设施（如剧院、博物馆）的偏好在规定的偏好框架内进行了研究。城市或农村地区对文化政策声明的同意没有实质性差异。大多数受访者普遍表示愿意为（假设的）区域文化基金捐款，以支持当地的文化基础设施。他们每年的人均愿意支付（WTP）大约为 29 欧元，以保持现有的质量，而在文化活动的质量和数量方面增加 10% 的费用为 27 欧元。鉴于奥地利市政当局每年人均约 90 欧元用于当地文化基础设施的支出，受访者的支付意愿是巨大的。WTP 的决定因素包括社会经济属性以及文化政策偏好。没有发现城市和农村人口之间的差异，但文化活动的个人经历（文化参与和童年经历）是支付意愿较高的主要决定因素。
