Özet:

 Access to technology is becoming increasingly available with the advancements in information and communication technologies. However, it is believed that most users now perform daily tasks on their mobile phones. In the literature, there has been a focus on examining the information and communication technology ICT literacy or usage status of students, teachers, and employees. However, there has been less exploration regarding the use of household ICT devices, which is a topic of interest. Today, households ICT adaptation and usage levels are essential for creating smart buildings and cities. In this respect, the study provides an idea for people and institutions planning smart cities in Turkey. The study categorizes household ICT devices into clusters based on their usage and examines the differences in usage patterns. The data for the year 2021 was obtained from the household information and communication technologies survey conducted by TURKSTAT in Turkey. The participants were categorized into two groups: advanced and basic users. Regarding regional differences, it is concluded that the rate of advanced users is higher in cities in western Turkey than in other regions. Based on the study, it was found that people mostly use mobile devices for daily usage. The groups differ in terms of how long they use the internet, their e-commerce habits, and their behaviors when encountering website purchasing problems.

 Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerindeki gelişmelerle birlikte teknolojiye erişim giderek daha kolay hale gelmektedir. Ancak artık çoğu kullanıcının günlük görevleri cep telefonu üzerinden gerçekleştirdiğine inanılıyor. Literatürde öğrencilerin, öğretmenlerin ve çalışanların bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri BİT okuryazarlığı veya kullanım durumlarının incelenmesine odaklanılmıştır. Ancak evdeki BİT cihazlarının kullanımına ilişkin araştırmalar daha az olmuştur. Günümüzde akıllı binalar ve şehirler yaratmak için hanelerin BİT adaptasyonu ve kullanım düzeyleri büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu açıdan çalışma Türkiyede akıllı şehir planlayan kişi ve kurumlara fikir vermektedir. Çalışma, evdeki BİT cihazlarını kullanımlarına göre kümelere ayırıyor ve kullanım kalıplarındaki farklılıkları inceliyor. 2021 yılı verileri TÜİKin Türkiyede gerçekleştirdiği hane halkı bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri araştırmasından elde edildi. Katılımcılar iki gruba ayrıldı: ileri düzey kullanıcılar ve temel kullanıcılar. Bölgesel farklılıklara bakıldığında, Türkiyenin batısındaki şehirlerde ileri düzey kullanıcı oranının diğer bölgelere göre daha yüksek olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Araştırmaya göre insanların çoğunlukla mobil cihazları günlük kullanım için kullandıkları tespit edildi. Gruplar interneti ne kadar süre kullandıkları, e-ticaret alışkanlıkları ve web sitesi satın alma sorunlarıyla karşılaştıklarında gösterdikleri davranışlar açısından farklılık göstermektedir.
