I. Comparison between Norway and Israel on Culture and Leisure Statistics
A. Concept and definition of “culture” NorwayTwo definitions of culture: The sector concept, where culture is understood as the production and distribution of certain products, particularly those made by professional artists, for consumption as a leisure time activity. The holistic concept, where culture is understood as a population’s ways of thinking, doing, and being, “the particular set of rule, beliefs, priorities and expectations” that mould “our world into a meaningful whole” .
IsraelSummarizing the 2009 framework of UNSECO (draft), there is no consensus on a single agree-on definition of culture. However, identifying which sectors should be fully included and which should only be partially included is essential to assessing and measuring the cultural sector.

III. General Comment and Opinion on Culture and Leisure Statistics: Practice, Problem and Perspective
A. Definition of Culture and its Statistical Scope
There is no consensus on a single agreed definition of culture among
researchers, experts and policy makers from all countries of the
world. —— The 2009 UNESCO Framework on Cultural Statistics
(Draft)
Statistical authorities select domains or sectors of activities which
they understand as central to their culture. —— Suggested by the
Framework (Draft) above
This suggestion provide a way to
– assist countries to carry out culture statistics to meet their own
needs;
– make international comparison on culture and leisure statistics.

B. Data Source of Culture and Leisure Statistics Statistical data can be collected from:
– administrative sources, – household surveys, – special surveys related to the culture and leisure, and – general surveys with culture and leisure components, etc.
Existing data are the most important sources of culture and leisure statistics. It is difficult to get some data because of the widespread scope of culture. Collection of cultural statistics generally lags behind the development of frameworks (Paper of Israel) .
C. Overlaps of Culture Statistics and Other Statistics
Should the overlaps be thought reasonable under certain circumstance?

D. Efforts of International and Regional Organizations
International and regional organizations make great efforts in the
development of cultural statistics
Proposing principles and core domains on culture statistics
Promoting the improvement of culture statistics in countries and
the comparison among countries
From the perspective of improving comparability, national statistical
offices should be encouraged to apply principles and methods,
suggested by international and regional organizations, to national
practice.
