Data Science and Social Research II
The peer-reviewed contributions gathered in this book address methods, software and applications of statistics and data science in the social sciences. The data revolution in social science research has not only produced new business models, but has also provided policymakers with better decision-making support tools. In this volume, statisticians, computer scientists and experts on social research discuss the opportunities and challenges of the social data revolution in order to pave the way for addressing new research problems. The respective contributions focus on complex social systems and current methodological advances in extracting social knowledge from large data sets, as well as modern social research on human behavior and society using large data sets. Moreover, they analyze integrated systems designed to take advantage of new social data sources, and discuss quality-related issues. The papers were originally presented at the 2nd International Conference on Data Science and Social Research, held in Milan, Italy, on February 4-5, 2019.

Culture e territori
I consumi culturali possono riguardare sia settori tradizionali quali musei, biblioteche, cinema, teatri, sia ambiti più "privati" quali televisione e radio, internet, libri e riviste, prodotti audio e audiovisivi. Con la ricerca Culture e territori. I consumi culturali in provincia di Lecce, promossa dalla Fondazione Rico Semeraro e condotta su un campione di residenti, si è inteso focalizzare l'attenzione sui consumi cosiddetti extra-moenia: musei e mostre, cinema, spettacoli dal vivo (teatro, musica, festival). Esiste una domanda inespressa di cultura? L'età incide sulla propensione al consumo di cultura? La conoscenza dell'offerta del territorio influenza i comportamenti di consumo? P...
