1.1 An isisihla uyinki
Ehlobo lika-2009, Pop ukushaya kuwo wonke Rwanda. Ngaphezu izigidi izingcingo phakathi umndeni, abangane, kanye nabo ebhizinisini, eRwanda mayelana 1,000 wathola ucingo oluvela uJoshuwa Blumenstock nozakwabo. Abacwaningi base befundela ingcebo nomtlhago kokwenza inhlolo-vo abantu ababekade ngezikhathi ezisuka kubantu database 1.5 million amakhasimende kusuka kwekulu mobile umhlinzeki phone laseRwanda. Blumenstock kanye nozakwabo wabuza abawugijimayo uma befuna ukuba uhlanganyele esikweni inhlolovo, bamchazela ucwaningo kubo, bese wababuza imibuzo mayelana nezici zabo indaba ekhanga abantu babo, zezenhlalo nezomnotho.
Konke ngishilo kuze kube manje kwenza lokhu kuzwakala njengephupho bendabuko social science inhlolovo. Kodwa, yini lefikako olandelayo akuyona bendabuko, okungenani hhayi okwamanje. Babesebenzisa idatha inhlolovo ukuqeqesha umshini model yokufunda ukubikezela umcebo kothile kusukela idatha yabo call, bese basebenzisa lokhu model ukulinganisa ngokuqinisekile umcebo wazo zonke amakhasimende 1.5 million. Okulandelayo, balinganisela endaweni ohlala wonke amakhasimende 1.5 million ngokusebenzisa ulwazi ngokwezwe linamathele call izingodo. Ukubeka lezi tilinganiso ezimbili ndawonye-ingcebo kulinganiselwa nendawo kulinganiselwa ohlala-Blumenstock kanye nozakwabo sakwazi ukuba ukukhiqiza high-resolution izilinganiso ukusatshalaliswa kwendawo ingcebo yonkana Rwanda. Ikakhulu, babekwazi ikhiqiza ingcebo kulinganiselwa for ngayinye amangqamuzana laseRwanda 2.148, kwesincane kunazo zonke unit zokuphatha kuleli lizwe.
Kwakunzima ukuqinisekisa lezi tilinganiso ngoba akekho omunye umuntu owake wambonisa kukhiqizwa izilinganiso for izindawo ezinengozi enjalo ezincane ngokwezwe eRwanda. Kodwa, lapho Blumenstock kanye nozakwabo uquqaba izilinganiso zabo ezifundeni laseRwanda 30, bafumana ukuthi izilinganiso zabo zazifana tilinganiso kusukela lwenhlalo yabantu and Health Survey, indinganiso igolide vo emazweni asathuthuka. Nakuba lezi zindlela ezimbili akhiqizwa tilinganiso ezifanayo kuleli cala, njengoba kusondela Blumenstock kanye nozakwabo iyashesha futhi 10 izikhathi ushibhile izikhathi ezingaphezu kuka-50 bendabuko lokubalwa kwabantu kanye Health Surveys. Lezi ephawulekayo ngokushesha futhi aphansi izindleko tilinganiso ukudala amathuba amasha kubacwaningi, ohulumeni, kanye nezinkampani (Blumenstock, Cadamuro, and On 2015) .
Ngaphezu asathuthuka indlela entsha, lesi sifundo Kusinda like a Rorschach Inkblot test; ukuthi abantu babona ini incike isizinda sabo. Ososayensi abaningi social ukubona ithuluzi elisha nesilinganiso engasetshenziswa ukuze ahlole imibono mayelana nokuthuthukiswa komnotho. Ososayensi abaningi idatha ubone cool entsha inkinga yokufunda umshini. Abantu abaningi bezebhizinisi ubone ndlela elinamandla ekwambuleni value in the digital trace idatha ukuthi baye baqoqa kakade. Abameli abaningi ubumfihlo ukubona isikhumbuzi scary ukuthi siphila esikhathini ukubhekwa mass. Abenzi abaningi inqubomgomo ukubona indlela ukuthi ubuchwepheshe obusha kungasiza ukudala umhlaba ongcono. Eqinisweni, lesi sifundo zonke lezo zinto, futhi yingakho-ke kuveza esizayo yocwaningo social.
