These policies are a basic for cultural management.This model should take the rationality of the cultural policies into consideration. In order to achieve this model, first of all we carried out a survey of the literature of the subject. During this, we conducted a survey of the effecting parameters on formation of the cultural policies, for example, definition of the culture, scope of the culture, social parameters of the culture, patterns of cultural policy making and different parts of cultural politics.All that we mentioned above plus responsible organization for fulfilling the policies and the field of cultural policy making finally form eight independent variables for content analysis of cultural policies. For each variable, the correspondence categories was chosen and exhibited during the study of the literature of the subject.
