Abstract
Cities are complex systems, which creates spontaneous movements and reactions in urban space. These selforganized networks and environment continuously reproduce each other by involving series of social and cultural communication patterns, ideas and decision-making processes. Unlike conventional participation tools ICT, social media and mobile technologies provide an alternative, virtual platform, that enables citizens to connect with decision makers, share information, comment and vote for changes, and self-organizing their environment. This new platform delivers a practical tool to decision makers for accessing a wider interest group, collecting location based, real time data and enables citizens to get involved in the planning process. In recent years Turkey has gone through many urban conflicts, and social media tools, especially Facebook, and Twitter densely used for information sharing and to be heard by government. In this study, the usage of social media as a participation tool was discussed in two parts. Firstly, A literature review on the engaging potential of mobile participation tools was given. Secondly, the usage and the impact of social media and mobile platforms was evaluated over examples from Turkey.
