We aim to construct cultural capital synthetic indicators considering cultural resources from a wide perspective and with spatial specification in order to assess their impact on economic development and spatial disparities. As a case study, we take Peru, a country boasting great cultural diversity throughout its regional division, ranging from material heritage to immaterial elements together with valuable cultural and creative entrepreneurship initiatives. We apply multivariate analysis to construct composite indices and clustering regions, and interpret the results by comparing them with economic disparities. We also examine the interaction and drivers between cultural capital and economic development at a regional scale.
El objetivo de este artículo es crear indicadores sintéticos de capital cultural que tengan en cuenta los recursos culturales desde una amplia perspectiva y con especificación territorial, a fin de evaluar su impacto en el desarrollo económico y las disparidades espaciales. Tomamos como caso de estudio Perú, un país que cuenta con una gran diversidad cultural en todas sus regiones, desde patrimonio material hasta elementos inmateriales, junto con valiosas iniciativas de emprendimiento cultural y creativo. Aplicamos análisis estadístico multivariante para crear índices compuestos y agrupar regiones e interpretamos los resultados en comparación con las disparidades económicas. También examinamos la interacción entre capital cultural y desarrollo económico a escala regional.
