Can Big Data measure well-being : Kosovo Case study

Session

Information Systems and Security

Description

Well-being is a great indicator of social progress. Collecting data through surveys is very costly that's why we need to find solutions that allow us to collect data through the internet. Big Data can be used to measure and study well-being. Most Big Data approaches measure well-being by analyzing language patterns on Social Media. In this study, I used internet search volumes obtained from google trends and the data from Happiness Report to build a model that accurately forecasts well-being in Kosovo that gives information on what aspects of life are correlated with well-being. This study adopts the Algan’s well-being approach to assess the importance of big data in Kosovo. The impact of Big Data is based on both quantitative and qualitative data analysis.
