Cultural Value and Social Capital: Investigating Social, Health and Wellbeing Impacts in Three Coastal Towns Undergoing Culture-led Regeneration.

自1791年马盖特海浴医院成立以来，英国沿海度假胜地就被设想和描绘为健康和福祉的避风港和源泉。精致的文化是这些曾经时尚的度假村的核心，以贝克希尔-on-Sea 1935年创新的De La Warr Pavilion及其日光浴室为代表。在经历了几十年的战后衰落之后，沿海城镇成为英国一些最严重的经济和健康贫困的中心。作为回应，部分是为了促进它们的复兴，作为拟议研究的主题，马尔盖特、福克斯通和贝克斯希尔这三个海边城镇最近经历了重大的、高调的文化干预，如特纳当代、马尔盖特、三年一度活动和福克斯通创意基金会的其他倡议，以及贝克希尔德拉瓦尔展馆的重生。为了帮助建立对文化价值的更全面的了解，我们建议让这些组织及其各自的地理社区参与评估它们在改善健康和福祉方面的社会和文化影响。研究参与者将包括艺术和健康研究人员、工作人员、参与式艺术从业者、资助者、合作者、合作伙伴、三个文化组织的志愿者和客户，以及当地公民。我们将在行动研究中使用定量和定性方法的混合方法来理解这项工作及其影响。这些方法将结合现有的研究工具和DOTT的修改版本：设计委员会的双钻石设计过程模型，该模型被广泛用作一种迭代、包容性的方法，以吸引当地人民和社区参与。方法包括：1.有关沿海城镇艺术、文化、健康和福祉以及以文化为主导的复兴的文献综述。一份调查问卷，以审计工作人员认为具有文化价值的三个文化组织的活动。3.举办重点讲习班，与三个组织的工作人员、参与性艺术从业者、资助者、合作者、合作伙伴和志愿者讨论他们对文化主导活动的实施和影响的看法，以及这些活动与社会资本和文化价值的关系。与艺术从业者和三个短期文化活动计划的参与者进行重点小组讨论，每个文化组织各一项，以深入了解态度和经验。5.在文化组织内建立一堵“思维导图墙”，邀请客户群钉住个人的“思维导图”，说明他们对组织之间关系的看法。社交媒体-三个组织的客户将被邀请参与社交媒体网站上与研究主题有关的讨论。通过这些方法收集的数据的结果将为项目的“共同设计/共同交付”阶段提供信息，该阶段将使用Design Charrette(一种迭代的、参与性的过程)来探索和改善文化组织的连接性(物理、虚拟、社会和文化)和用户体验，并分析其内部和外部布局、编程和(社会)媒体战略在多大程度上产生连接和获取和互动的机会。我们的方法将社会资本理论与参与性行动研究相结合，并借鉴了DOTT的修改版本：设计委员会的双钻石设计过程模型，该模型被广泛用作迭代，包容性的方法，让当地人民和社区参与进来。我们的目的是探索开发适应文化价值研究需要的新研究方法的潜力，这种方法建立在DOTT已被证明的优势的基础上，进而以创新和富有成效的方式满足研究目的、目的和问题的要求。

From the establishment of Margate's Sea Bathing Hospital in 1791, British coastal resorts were envisaged and portrayed as havens and sources of health and wellbeing. A sophisticated cultural offer was at the heart of these once fashionable resorts, typified by Bexhill-on-Sea's innovative 1935 De La Warr Pavilion with its solarium. Following decades of post-war decline, coastal towns became the locus for some of the most significant economic and health deprivation in the UK. In response, and in part designed to contribute to their regeneration, the three towns of Margate, Folkestone and Bexhill On Sea, that are the subject of the proposed research, have experienced significant, high-profile recent cultural interventions i.e. Turner Contemporary, Margate, the Triennial and other initiatives by Folkestone's Creative Foundation, and the rebirth of the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill. In order to help build a more complete understanding of cultural value, we propose to engage these organisations and their respective geographic communities in assessing and evaluating their social and cultural impacts relating to improvements to health and wellbeing. Research participants will comprise arts and health researchers, staff, participatory art practitioners, funders, collaborators, partners, volunteers and customers of the three cultural organisations, and local citizens. We will use a mixed methods approach of quantitative and qualitative methodology in action research to understand the work and its impact. The methods will combine established research tools with a modified version of DOTT: the Design Council's double diamond design process model, which is widely used as an iterative, inclusive method to engage local people and communities. The methods include: 1. Literature reviews relating to arts, culture, health and wellbeing and culture-led regeneration in coastal towns.2. A questionnaire to audit the activities of the three cultural organisations thought by staff to be of cultural value. 3. Focus workshops to discuss with staff, participatory art practitioners, funders, collaborators, partners and volunteers of the three organisations, their perceptions of the delivery and impact of culture-led activities and their relationship to social capital and cultural value.4. Pre and post focus group discussions with arts practitioners and participants of three short-term cultural activity programmes, one in each of the cultural organisations, to generate an in-depth understanding of attitudes and experiences. 5. A 'mind mapping wall' within cultural organisations where the customer-base is invited to pin up individual 'mind maps' illustrating their perceptions of the organisations' connections.6. Social media - where the customers of the three organisations will be invited to take part in discussions on social media sites relating to the research topics. The results of data gathered by these methods will inform 'co-design/co-delivery' stages of the project which will use a Design Charrette (an iterative, participatory process) to explore and improve the connectivity (physical, virtual, social and cultural) and user experience of the cultural organisations and analyse the extent to which their interior and exterior layouts, programming and (social) media strategies engender connections and opportunities for access and interaction.Our approach blends social capital theory with participatory action research and draws upon a modified version of DOTT: the Design Council's double diamond design process model, which is widely used as an iterative, inclusive method to engage local people and communities. Our intention is to explore the potential for developing new research methodology that adapts to the needs of cultural value research, which builds on the proven strengths of DOTT and in turn meets the requirements of the research aims, objectives and questions in an innovative and productive manner.
