(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2020) Fernández Cantero, Angy Lorena; Velásquez Galeano, Dayana Andrea; Andrade Agudelo, Doris Lilia
The present project aims to carry out a study on the supply of public libraries in Colombia and the variables that determine their demand. For this, spatial analysis techniques are estimated for the offer, which allow establishing the spatial distribution of the number of public libraries in the country. Using a probit econometric model, the demand for libraries is analyzed using microdata from the Cultural Consumption Survey 2017. The results obtained from this research show that educational level is the most determining factor in the use of the public library and the higher it is, a person will be more likely to use it. It was also found that women attend more frequently than men, because being a woman, being young and single increases the probability of attendance, in terms of the level of occupation it is observed that the individual who is inactive attends more a library, in this case because a large part of the inactive people are students (university, technical, among others), this applies to all people regardless of any region of the country.
