Usability studies provide essential information about users’ views and perceptions of efficiency, effectiveness and satisfaction of given online services. Nowadays, e-government web sites become popular. Therefore, there is a need for usability testing to specify the usability problems and to make the services of the e-government more usable. The purpose of this study is to investigate usability of some Turkish e-government services. The study examined usability of five Turkish e-government web sites: Ministry of National Education – Student Information System (eokul), Ministry of Justice – National Judicial Network Project (UYAP), Turkish National Police: Vehicle Search System, Social Security Institute: Service Details and General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre. It was conducted with nine participants. This study is a case study with mixed design methodology, in which both quantitative and qualitative approaches were employed and combined. Quantitative data were collected through an eye-tracker, a pre-test questionnaire of participants’ demographics and previous utilization of egovernment web sites and a post-test questionnaire. Qualitative data were collected through both semi-structured individual interviews and observation during test. The study results identify the usability problems encountered while using government services. The study concludes with specific recommendations for improvement of e-government services in Turkey.

Modeling Human Activities via Long Short Term Memory Networks Solmaz, Berkan; Karaman, Kaan (2019-01-01) The presence of rapidly increasing visual data adds importance to the computer vision studies for automatic analysis and interpretation of content. Although the nervous and sensory systems in humans easily perform the processes such as understanding and recognizing activities that take place on a stage, these processes are among the most challenging research topics of computer vision. The activities vary according to the number of participants. For instance, a single person can perform activities consisting...
Predicting Trending Elements on Web Pages Using Eye-Tracking Data Shekh Khalil , Naziha; Yeşilada, Yeliz; Eraslan, Şükrü; Computer Engineering (2022-8-31) Eye-tracking data can be used to understand how users interact with web pages and such understanding can be facilitated for different purposes, for example, it can be used to support better accessibility for disabled users or better usability for all users. However, understanding the sequential behavior of a group of users is challenging from eye-tracking data because individual eye movement sequences, i.e. scanpaths, tend to be complicated and different from each other. Previous work proposes an algorithm ...
Mining eyetracking data to characterise users and theirpatterns of use Öder, Melih; Betin Can, Aysu; Department of Information Systems (2019) Eye tracking studies typically collect an enormous amount of data that encodes a lot of information about the users’ behavior and characteristics on the web. However, there are not many studies that mine such data to learn and discover user characteristics and proﬁles. The main goal of this study is to mine eye tracking data by machine learning methods to create data models which characterise users and predict their characteristics, in particular, familiarity and gender. Detecting users’ characteristics can...

A Usability Study of WebMaps with Eye Tracking Tool: The Effects of Iconic Representation of Information Alacam, Özge; Dalci, Mustafa (2009-07-24) In this study, we aim to conduct usability tests on different WebMap sites with eye movement analysis. Overall task performance, the effects of iconic representation of information, and the efficiency of pop-up usage were evaluated. The eye tracking technology is used for this Study in order to follow the position of the users' eye-gaze. The results show that there are remarkable differences in task performance between WebMaps. Addition, they also differ in the use of iconic representations according to res...
