This dataset presents a context-sensitive Cultural Impact Assessment (CIA) framework developed within the HL-EXURB project, funded by the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme (Grant No. 101105364). The framework is designed to analyse the impacts of creative ex-urban practitioners on non-urban areas, with particular attention to how these impacts are experienced and negotiated in specific local contexts.

The framework adopts a three-dimensional approach, encompassing socio-spatial, socio-ecological, and socio-economic dimensions. These dimensions capture how creative practices contribute to place-making processes, reshape relations between culture and ecology, and connect cultural and economic value in rural settings. Each dimension is operationalised through guiding questions addressing belonging and exclusion, ecological responsibility, and local collaboration and livelihoods.

Developed through ethnographic and digital research conducted in Akyaka (Turkey) between 2024 and 2025, the framework provides a practical and analytical tool for researchers, policymakers, and cultural practitioners.
