Google Analytics ikerketa sozialeko tresna gisa

Durante el presente estudio pretendo presentar la herramienta de seguimiento web Google Analytics, como una herramienta útil para la investigación social. Hasta el momento, los Datos Masivos han sido utilizados sobre todo por técnicos pertenecientes al campo de la investigación de mercados. La utilización de Big Data plantea un cambio de perspectiva en la investigación, a causa del volumen de datos que contienen y la continua actualización de los mismos. Google Analytics utiliza un sistema de cookies para obtener sus datos y el enfoque de estadística bayesiana para efectuar sus análisis. Este trabajo destapa el funcionamiento de esta herramienta y explica de qué modo podemos utilizarla y como debemos interpretar sus datosIn this study I try to present the Google Analytics tracking web tool, as a useful tool for social research. Up to the present time, Big Data has been used mainly by scientists from the field of market investigation. The use of Big Data proposes a change of perspective in the research, because Big Data has a large volume of data and updates data continuously. Google Analytics uses a cookie system to obtain data and Bayesian statistical approach to perform their analyzes. This work reveals how this tool works and explains how we can use it and shows some of the limitations in the interpretation of this dataGraduado o Graduada en Sociología Aplicada por la Universidad Pública de NavarraSoziologia Aplikatuan Graduatua Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa

Is green space in the living environment associated with people's feelings of social safety?

Abstract. The authors investigate whether the percentage of green space in people's living environ- ment affects their feelings of social safety positively or negatively. More specifically they investigate the extent to which this relationship varies between urban and rural areas, between groups in the community that can be identified as more or less vulnerable, and the extent to which different types of green space exert different influences. The study includes 83736 Dutch citizens who were interviewed about their feelings of social safety. The percentage of green space in the living environment of each respondent was calculated, and data analysed by use of a three-level latent variable model, controlled for individual and environmental background characteristics. The analyses suggest that more green space in people's living environment is associated with enhanced feelings of social safetyöexcept in very strongly urban areas, where enclosed green spaces are associated with reduced feelings of social safety. Contrary to the common image of green space as a dangerous hiding place for criminal activity which causes feelings of insecurity, the results suggest that green space generally enhances feelings of social safety. The results also suggest, however, that green space in the most urban areas is a matter of concern with respect to social safety.
