Challenges for urban regeneration? Cultural preferences and cultural capital of youth in urban centres of the Croatian Adriatic

This presentation discusses the findings of the large quantitative survey conducted amongst high school students in larger Croatian coastal cities. The main aim of research was to establish patterns of cultural preferences of Croatian Youth with the special emphasis on the role of students' cultural capital, parental cultural capital and the role of value orientations. Quota sample based on size of the city, gender and type of school (N=2680) was used. Theoretical framework consisted of Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital and Peterson's concepts of univores and omnivores while simultaneously taking into consideration institutional and structural specifics of each city and region. Cultural preferences were measured with the scales of intensity and frequency of visit of cultural events and institutions, including taste in music and TV shows, while cultural capital and values were measured using standardized instruments and scales. Analysis was conducted using factor analysis for patterns of cultural consumption and taste while linear regression analysis was used in order to determine the factors explaining the patterns of cultural consumption. Results suggest that there are two distinct and dominant patterns of cultural consumption, cosmopolitan and local, both explained by various factors of cultural capital and value orientations. Findings will be discussed as a challenge for cities aiming to achieve urban regenaration while dealing with scarce human and institutional resources in the Croatian Adriatic region.
