Abstract
The significance of attention to culture & the emphasis which exists in upstream documents make research & recognition necessary in this field. So, identification & validation of cultural policy making evaluation indicators can help us know the cultural policy making performance & alleviate the shortcoming of the cultural policies, programs, & activities. Research method was qualititative with meta-synthesis type. Findings suggest that cultural policy making evaluation indicators are represented through a structure that consists of eleven criteria identified as appropriateness, efficiency, cultural competence, ethics & epistemology, cultural consume & production, innovation culture, human development, access & equity & effectiveness. Based on the research findings, it is possible to reach a conceptual conclusion about cultural policy making evaluation indicators in higher education so that through it, designing a model can evaluate the existed status of higher education cultural policy making & provide the necessary context for achieving desired status.
