Factors Affecting the Quality of Ho Chi Minh Cultural Space in Ho Chi Minh City

Abstract

Building the Ho Chi Minh cultural space is an important policy identified in the Resolution of the 11th Congress of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee for the 2020–2025 term. To date, thousands of Ho Chi Minh cultural spaces have been established and operated across the city, with varying scales and quality. However, scientific research on the factors affecting the quality of these cultural spaces remains quite limited. With the aim of exploring the factors that influence the quality of the Ho Chi Minh cultural space, the research team conducted a survey of various respondents from diverse sectors in Ho Chi Minh city, including political institutions, public service units, enterprises, residential communities, and religious establishments. The results indicate that Facilities, Content and Activities, Interaction and Participation, and Educational Impact are four key factors influencing the quality of the Ho Chi Minh cultural space. Among these, strategic priority should be placed on strongly enhancing community interaction and participation, alongside upgrading facilities,
improving educational effectiveness, and continuously innovating the content of activities.
