Databases on culture and leisure are considered essential statistical data since Dubai has paid close attention to social and cultural services and has worked intensively to establish public libraries in residential quarters, which have been equipped with modern visual and audio equipment. This equipment has been used to present movies, conferences, lectures, exhibitions and training programs. These libraries also organize leisure and cultural trips for children, in addition to organizing competitions in painting and summarizing of books and stories. Dubai has also contributed towards the establishment of public parks, gardens and zoos, and has worked diligently for their development and care.
