Sažetak
The main goal of this article is to establish whether there is a connection between cultural
consumption, social inequality and regional differences in Croatia based on data collected
from the Eurobarometer survey in 2013. In the first part of the article different theoretical approaches
are presented, explaining precise determinants of cultural consumption and taking
into account transitional and post-transitional specificities of the Croatian society. Methodological/
empirical segment of the article is divided into three steps. Firstly, by using factor
analysis, cultural consumption of respondents (N = 787) is divided into two main domains,
public and private cultural consumption, based on which their aggregate indexes are created.
After that, the hierarchial regression analysis is included in order to establish how the socioeconomic
status is predictive of different types of cultural consumption. And finally, the cultural
consumption index is compared in different regions of Croatia in relation to their development
index. The results of the analysis indicate a strong correlation between both indexes of
cultural consumption and several indicators of socioeconomic status, education level, gender
and residential status. There are significant differences in various Croatian regions; the wider
Zagreb metropolitan area, Rijeka and Gorski Kotar are the only regions with above than average
cultural consumption index. It follows that cultural consumption is strongly related to the
overall development of an area.
