Abstract

Since the discovery and the development of many technological instruments such as modern communication and communication technologies, digital media has served widely from the technology, and thus intersected quasi all life’s domains, by providing news, information, and also discussions of quasi all subjects. In social sciences, for example, a major part of digital media sites discusses the well-being of both individuals, and societies, especially with the presence of many challenging phenomena like pandemics, wars, and financial crises. A major concern for QoL index for example resides in whether it is a uniform stable index or on the contrary a non-uniform index depending strongly and point-wisely on the time scale. This motivates the consideration of a non-uniform QoL index based on non-uniform wavelets to take into account the influence of many factors issued from political, social, environmental, economic effects according to the time scale. The model developed is tested on Saudi Arabia QoL index case. Recall that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has fixed many aims in its 2030-vision plan including the quality of life as a major goal. For example, the KSA worldwide NEOM project necessitates surely a supportive environment to be realized. The second purpose of our paper is also to study the impact of digital media such as social one on the QoL. Therefore, the data collected is basically issued from a set of conversations on social media platforms. To obtain a suitable time series, we developed a backward-forward non-uniform wavelet forecasting model to extend the data sample suitably. The whole time series is by the next applied for the QoL index dynamics and interpretations. The findings showed that effectively, the QoL index is never a stable single index on the whole year, but on the contrary, the dependence on the time scale is non-uniform. Moreover, to interpret suitably and for a correct policy, the non-uniform behavior should be considered adequately.
