The thesis examines the changing nature of regional dynamics of trust, collaboration, and coordination relations among the actors of automotive cluster and traces the characteristics of emerging mobility ecosystem in the region which consists of Bursa, İstanbul, Sakarya and Kocaeli. The study tries to conceptualize inter-institutional trust, collaboration, and coordination relations during the transition process from the automotive industry to the mobility ecosystem within the framework of an inductive approach by taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the constructivist grounded theory. In the light of the collected data, while the basic dynamics of traditional automotive agglomeration were defined within the framework of the concept of "orbital motion", the basic category "(function) sprawl" was developed to describe the emerging mobility ecosystem. Based on the two-system conceptualization, the study presents findings that will enable us to reinterpret the policy tools that can trigger the industrial upgrading at the regional level.
