The aim of this publication is to present the support of the local population for cultural policy by the assessment of included in it: cultural activities, priorities, segmentation of users (residents and visitors) and coherence with other public policies. The article presents the results of the population survey on cultural policy implemented in six municipalities in Bulgaria - Kavarna, Balchik, Biala, Shabla, Avren and Dolni Chiflik. With the help of questionnaires were obtained estimates for cultural activities, infrastructure priorities and bottlenecks, as well as consistency with other public policies. Top rated are Kavarna and Balchik on the variety, intensity of the cultural calendar and cultural infrastructure, as well as the consistency of their public policies. Overall, the highest degree of consistency was observed between cultural policy and tourism. The results show that in the segmentation of users we cannot give priority to one category only - locals or visitors. They are equally represented as beneficients of cultural policy.
