Definition

Liquidated expenditure per person of the regional and local public administrations in the preservation, protection and conservation of cultural heritage (historical and artistic heritage, archives and libraries)
Theoretical formula \[GLPCP^{t} = \frac{GLPC_{CCAA}^{t}+GLPC_{EELL}^{t}}{P^{t}}\]

where:

$GLPC_{CCAA}^{t}$ = expenditure of the autonomous community in the preservation, protection and conservation of cultural heritage (historical and artistic heritage, archives and libraries) in year $t$

$GLPC_{EELL}^{t}$ = expenditure settled by the local entities of the autonomous community in the preservation, protection and conservation of cultural heritage (historical and artistic heritage, archives and libraries) in year $t$

$P^{t}$ = population on July 1 of year $t$

This section provides more information about the United Nations indicator or the European Union Sustainable Development Indicator, such as its rationale, international results, metadata, and other relevant statistics.

Rationale

This indicator measures the per capita expenditure (public and private) in the preservation, protection and conservation of cultural and/or natural heritage over time. To monitor change over time of national efforts for the protection and safeguard of cultural and/or natural heritage.

This indicator illustrates how financial efforts/actions made by public authorities, both at the local, national and international levels, alone or in partnership with civil society organizations (CSO) and the private sector, to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage has a direct impact in making cities and human settlements more sustainable.

This means that cultural resources and assets are safeguarded to keep attracting/to attract people (inhabitants, workers, tourists, etc.) and financial investments, to ultimately enhance the total amount of expenditure.

This indicator is a proxy to measure the target. This indicator would allow insight into whether or not countries are strengthening their efforts into safeguarding their cultural and natural heritage. It will help to identify areas that require more attention for policy purposes.
