With the developments in information and communication technologies, the use of mobile apps has increased significantly in many areas, one of which is transportation. Transportation, especially in urban environments, is a very current and prominent issue, with the ever-increasing size of the cities requiring more roads and more vehicles, while traffic congestions worsens day by day. Therefore, urban residents want to choose the most convenient and the least time-consuming way to complete their journeys. Mobile passenger information systems serve citizens for this purpose, by giving real-time information on public transports. It is important that these systems are designed with a human-centered approach in order to increase the quality of life of their users. This approach entails understanding both the experience of the passengers that use such a system and how they relate to the technology that operates the system. In this thesis, the factors that influence user experience as well as the technology acceptance of mobile passenger information systems were investigated through field studies conducted on a vi sample application dedicated to a specific urban location. The results were discussed in light of the literature review of how these systems evolved, along with their current and projected future situations, to offer insights and suggestions on how the experience and the design leading to it may be improved.

Analysis of Online and In-Store Clothes Shopping Experiences Taking a User Journey Approach Yılmaz Ünlü, Zeynep; Şener Pedgley, Bahar; Department of Industrial Design (2022-1) In parallel to advancements in information and communication technologies (ICT), shopping has evolved as one of the most commonly carried out daily activities in people's lives. Different ways of shopping have emerged leading to reshaping shopping experiences. The research presented in the thesis particularly focuses on the changes in online and in-store clothes shopping experiences along with people's shopping channel and medium preferences. Therefore, after reviewing the literature, two-phase fieldwork is...
A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON SMART CITY SERVICES AND IOT-BASED TECHNOLOGIES Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2019-03-21) Due to the technological developments, Internet of things (IoT) has become a real phenomenon. Accordingly, many IoT-based smart concepts appeared in our daily lives such as smart home, smart healthcare and smart city. There are several factors accelerating or hindering the adoption of such new services and concepts. So, the acceptance of IoT-based smart services is critical and should be analyzed carefully. In this study, we aimed to prepare a proper starting point for future studies on end user acceptance ...
Methods for location prediction of mobile phone users Keleş, İlkcan; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2014) Due to the increasing use of mobile phones and their increasing capabilities, huge amount of usage and location data can be collected. Location prediction is an important task for mobile phone operators and smart city administrations to provide better services and recommendations. In this work, we have investigated several approaches for location prediction problem including clustering, classification and sequential pattern mining. We propose a sequence mining based approach for location prediction of mobil...
An Analysis on user profiles and usage preferences for mobile application recommendations Ünal, Perin; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Department of Information Systems (2015) In this thesis, we investigated the relationship between personality features and mobile technology use, particularly the use of traditional communication channels such as voice calls and SMS messaging and rapidly evolving mobile applications, specifically in communication and commerce domains. This was the first study to investigate the relationship between different personality features and different aspects of mobile technology use to this extent. The rapid growth in the mobile application market present...
Exploring behavior change features for mobile workout applications ÜNAL, Perin; Cavdar, Seyma Kucukozer; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Eren, Pekin Erhan; IYENGAR, Sriram (2017-08-23) With the rapid emergence of mobile technologies in recent years, mobile health (m-health) has become fundamental to healthcare. Persuasion strategies and behavior change support features are widely used in m-health applications to increase the effectiveness of these applications on users. However, in the literature, there is a lack of research to analyze the current situation of m-health applications particularly from the perspective of behavior change approaches. In this study, the workout applications in ...
