In recent years, new developments in technology have brought about novel methods and platforms that have provided innovative visualization of geo-spatial information. Among the possible platforms, 3D virtual platforms are increasingly preferred as they not only depict the real world phenomena but also convey additional information. The creation of 3D geo-spatial information visualization in the conducted studies is mainly technology-driven and not standardized. Moreover, perception of the user, user experience and cognitive processes are not considered profoundly. 3D geo-spatial information visualization has widespread usage in Disaster Management as it allows decision makers a better understanding of the disaster phenomena. The aim of the study is to build a framework that follows a user-centered approach and to propose steps to design effective visualizations for Disaster Management specialists. The framework is enhanced with theories and concepts from the disciplines of cartography, human computer interaction and cognitive science. The proposed framework provides guidance for creating visualizations of information in Disaster Management. In this thesis, guidelines are proposed for visualization of disaster risk in order to help decision makers take accurate and rapid decisions.

Kizilkaya, Burak; Ever, Enver; Yatbaz, Hakan Yekta; Yazıcı, Adnan (2022-05-01)
With improvements in the area of Internet of Things (IoT), surveillance systems have recently become more accessible. At the same time, optimizing the energy requirements of smart sensors, especially for data transmission, has always been very important and the energy efficiency of IoT systems has been the subject of numerous studies. For environmental monitoring scenarios, it is possible to extract more accurate information using smart multimedia sensors. However, multimedia data transmission is an expensi...
A singular value decomposition approach for recommendation systems
Osmanlı, Osman Nuri; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
Data analysis has become a very important area for both companies and researchers as a consequence of the technological developments in recent years. Companies are trying to increase their profit by analyzing the existing data about their customers and making decisions for the future according to the results of these analyses. Parallel to the need of companies, researchers are investigating different methodologies to analyze data more accurately with high performance. Recommender systems are one of the most...
A Mobile Participatory Framework for the Consumer Decision Process
ÖZARSLAN, SÜLEYMAN; Eren, Pekin Erhan (2013-09-27)
With the recent advances in mobile technologies, the role of mobile information systems has been increasing within the consumer behavior domain. Accordingly, we propose a holistic framework which supports consumers on all stages of the consumer decision process by using the participatory sensing approach. The consumer decision process is the major part of the consumer behavior, and represents the set of stages a consumer follows when purchasing a product. On the other hand, participatory sensing is a recent...

A model for instructors' adoption of learning management systems: Empirical Validation in higher education context
Findik Coşkunçay, Duygu; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2013-04-01)
Through the rapid expansion of information technologies, Learning Management Systems have become one of the most important innovations for delivering education. However, successful implementation and management of these systems are primarily based on the instructors' adoption. In this context, this study aims to understand behavioral intentions of higher education instructors towards Learning Management Systems and further to identify the influencing factors. A multidimensional research model has been propo...
