Planning to build a national information observatory for the family in Saudi Arabia

The study aims to develop a vision for the establishment and operation of a national family information observatory in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, whose function is family monitoring at the local and national levels to be compatible with the Kingdom's Vision 2030 in the social and cultural dimensions. The study suggested linking the family observatory through a network (the Internet and the Intranet) by preparing an encrypted website according to the powers of each user, and until this is done, communication and data and information exchange will take place through designing an application that allows the sharing and exchange of data according to the powers granted to users.
The study relied on the use of the analytical field approach, as the researcher proceeded to conduct a survey of all types of national observatories available on the World Wide Web in order to reach the most prominent international models of objective observatories in the field of the family, with the aim of describing, analyzing and evaluating them.
The study suggested a set of recommendations that if those responsible for the family observatory were able to implement them in an optimal manner, they would have an effective role in disseminating targeted information and making available accurate data and information electronically to decision makers and stakeholders.
