Analyzing household communication patterns using BT call data
- 1. 'The Coming Crisis' is here Dr Ben Anderson
- 20. The future? Data Triangulation Observational and qualitative methods Survey methods Tracking, tracing and logging methods
Editor's Notes
- Academic – polarisation, neighborhood effects etc Politically – local income tax? Who would be affected & where?
- Old ones - such as Networks, place, space and social capital? Consumption, leisure and class? New ones: Software & social stratification
- Instead of aggregating to LSOA level, this is household level Same story dominance of local calls % local calls increases as deprivation increases
- Same story dominance of local calls % local calls increases as deprivation increases
- Contributes to triangulation – greater ‘transparency’ – no lies, no forgetfulness, no social construction EXCEPT in the coding/inerpretation of the data during analysis (“are they doing what we think they are doing?”) sociology, anthropology, administration, public policies, psychology, economics, public health... Maybe the most real picture of 21 st Century society?
