socio-spatial segregations in social media
https://doi.org/10.14201/FJC201613153168Abstract
In conjunction with developments in communication technologies, life spaces of people also change and develop. What constitutes the most important building block of these new life spaces are digital communication resources. Digital communication resources form new spaces in social media by manipulating identities and cultures. These new spaces create socio-spatial segregations, whether consciously or unconsciously. Especially in recent years, grouping is observed intensely in social media and from time to time these groups play an important role in mass actions. In this study, closed and secret groups formed in social media were examined, with qualitative and quantitative research methods. Within this context, through in-depth interviews with group admins and survey study with group members , socio-spatial segregation in social media and grouping processes in social media were examined. RESUMEN: El hábitat humano está cambiando y desarrollando con los avances tecnológicos de la co-municación. Los recursos de comunicación digital es el bloque de construcción más importante para es-te cambio y desarrollo. Los recursos de comunicación digital estan manipulando las identidades y cultu-ras creando nuevos lugares en los medios sociales. Esto crea segregación socio-espacial consciente o in-conscientemente. Particularmente en los últimos años se observan agrupaciones en los medios sociales y estos grupos algunas veces juegan un importante papel en el movimiento de las masas. En este estu-dio se observan a los grupos cerrados y clandestinos con los métodos de investigación cuantitativos y cualitativos. En este sentido se analizaron los procesos de segregación socio-espacial y la forma de ser del grupo en los medios sociales haciendo entrevistas a los directores y encuestas a los miembros de los grupos.
