    User Experience Based Participatory Urban Design Practices: Case of İzmir
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2024) Yorulmaz, Aleyna; Velibeyoğlu, Koray; Özden, Pelin
    This thesis aims to analyze how participatory processes increase community engagement and enhance the role of the user in urban design processes. In this context, a mixed approach is used, blending qualitative and quantitative methods including spatial analysis, surveys, interviews and participatory design workshops. The research explores the effectiveness of participatory approaches and co-design tools in urban design, focusing on two case studies from İzmir, Turkey. The research is organized around three main questions: Which participatory design approaches effectively involve community members in urban planning? How do different co-design tools affect the effectiveness of participatory design processes? How do toolkit techniques shape user experiences in urban design? Key findings show that participatory design enables the creation of more inclusive, innovative and sustainable urban spaces by incorporating the knowledge and experience of community members. The study highlights the importance of user experience in co-design processes and reveals that well-designed interfaces and tools can increase the overall effectiveness of urban design projects by facilitating the active participation of citizens. The findings highlight the potential of participatory design to strengthen the social fabric of communities and increase individuals' sense of belonging to urban life. Through extensive analysis, this study provides valuable insights into the role of community engagement in creating livable and resilient urban environments. By examining the effects of different toolkit techniques on user experiences, the thesis aims to contribute to the development of more effective and user-friendly design processes. This research provides recommendations for developing more inclusive and innovative urban design practices and advocates for the wider application of participatory approaches in urban planning.

    The Factors That Influence Usage of Mobile Augmented Reality Application
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Yavuz, Merve; Başoğlu, Ahmet Nuri
    With the increasing use of smart devices, augmented reality (AR) technology has become widespread in mobile devices. As with user interaction technologies, there are factors affecting the use of applications in mobile augmented reality (MAR) applications. In this research study, the factors which affect the use of mobile augmented reality were investigated. Although AR and MAR were generally investigated during the research period, Augment, the application, was used in the survey and interview part of the research study. The interview, which consists of three different parts, and a quantitative experimental study were conducted. 139 variables were obtained from articles and interviews. As a result of the studies, 22 of these variables were selected. In the study, 47 questions were asked to examine the 22 concepts. In the quantitative experimental study, 146 participants answered questions. The survey data was collected by a web based form. As a result of this study, the most important factor that influences usage of MAR application is security and privacy. The following factors are ease of learning, visual quality of the application 3D model, and ease of use. To sum up, it is recommended that designers, and application developers consider these five variables when designing or developing a MAR application.
