Low utilization rate of community public cultural facilities, popular fitness balls

What is the busiest place in the community? Residential cultural and sports activity areas. With the construction of public cultural facilities such as outdoor fitness equipment, cultural and sports venues, libraries, and chess and card rooms, neighbors have stepped out of their small homes and integrated into the constantly enriching public cultural life. In order to understand the provision and use of public cultural facilities in Beijing communities, as well as residents' evaluations and expectations of community cultural activities, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Statistics and the Beijing Survey Team of the National Bureau of Statistics conducted a questionnaire survey on 1228 permanent residents aged 18 and above in the city through computer-aided telephone surveys (CATI). The survey results show that there is a significant shortage of public cultural facilities in the community, and the proportion of people who frequently use them is less than 25% of the community population.
Fitness, ball games, and dance activities are the most popular among residents
Among the numerous cultural activities in the community, fitness, ball games, and dance activities are the most popular among residents, with 43.4% and 31.7% of respondents expressing the most satisfaction with these two types of activities, far higher than other cultural activities. These two types of activities have become mainstream forms of community cultural activities in Beijing due to their small venue limitations, low professional difficulty, wide audience, and easy participation. In addition, activities related to chess and cards, calligraphy and painting, and reading are ranked 3-5.
From a demand perspective, 52.5% of respondents hope that the community can carry out fitness and ball games; 34% of respondents hope that the community will carry out singing and dancing activities. In addition, calligraphy and painting, reading, training and lectures, and chess and card activities are also areas where residents have a relatively concentrated demand, with 20% to 30% of respondents hoping to carry out such activities.
From a population perspective, residents' needs for community cultural activities also exhibit differentiated characteristics due to differences in age, lifestyle habits, and interests. In addition to fitness, ball games, and dance activities, urban residents prefer calligraphy and painting activities, while suburban residents prefer chess and card activities; Young people prefer reading activities, while middle-aged and elderly people prefer calligraphy and painting activities.
Demand-oriented increase in facilities
The survey results show that the provision of public cultural facilities, the construction of public cultural service networks, and the implementation of public cultural activities will directly affect the effectiveness of public cultural services. The provision of community cultural facilities and the implementation of cultural activities are of great significance in ensuring the rights and interests of residents to enjoy basic public cultural services. It is recommended that relevant departments be guided by public demand, increase the supply of community cultural facilities, standardize the use and management of existing facilities, and pay attention to enriching the content of community cultural activities to improve the quality of cultural activities.
