Introduction: The use of big data has considerable benefits and has become one of the most prominent aspects in contributing to the development of Information and Communication Technologies uses globally.
The characteristics of big data have helped to its spread at all levels,particularly in the field of information management and retrieval during a crisis, such as the Covid-19 pandemic.
Objective: To learn about the Kuwaiti society’s awareness of the “Big Data” concept, its importance and its benefits during the Corona crisis.
Method: Data collection was achieved through the distribution of a survey that presented the main questions proposed by the study, based on the published scholarly literature related to big data as well as the Corona crisis.
Descriptive and statistical analyses were also employed to describe participants’ demographics, determine their knowledge of the big data concept and the applications used to deal with the Corona crisis.
Results: The study reflected a randomly selected sample representing all of Kuwait’s provinces and age groups.
