Furthermore, it is necessary deciding the broad or narrow interpretation and measurement of cultural activities. In this research the relationship between the cultural activities and the subjective quality of life was investigated by two approaches (direct and indirect). Then a pilot study was conducted according to the aim of the research in pursuance of the exploratory research results. Findings show that most preferable cultural activities have a positive effect and influence on the different life domains.
