Sivil Toplum Kuruluşlarının Sosyal Medyada İlişki Kurma ve İletişim Stratejileri: Yeşilay Türkiye Facebook Sayfası Örneği

Sosyal medya, kâr amacı gütmeyen kuruluşlar için çok sayıda paydaşa hızlı, verimli ve halka açık bir şekilde ulaşması için elverişli bir iletişim platformudur. STK’lar, sosyal medya aracılığıyla, belirlenen hedef için diyaloğu etkin bir şekilde güçlendirerek hedefe ilerlemeyi kolaylaştırmaktadır. Sivil toplum kuruluşlarının (STK) sosyal medyayı etkin şekilde kullanmaya başlamaları bu alanı incelenmesi gereken bir mecraya dönüştürmüştür. Sosyal medyanın ilişki kurma, kendini özgürce ifade etme, paydaş kazanma, hedef kitleye kolayca erişme gibi sunduğu çeşitli imkânlar, her geçen gün kullanım alanını genişletmesine neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, sivil toplum kuruluşlarının stratejik iletişim ve ilişki kurma stratejileri bağlamında sosyal medya kullanımları incelenmiştir. Türkiye’nin en eski STK’larından Yeşilay’ın Facebook sayfasında bir yıl süreyle paylaşılan gönderiler içerik analizi yöntemi ile kategorilere ayrılmıştır. Bu ana kategoriler; Bağımlılıkla ilgili paylaşımlar Sigara ve tütün bağımlılığı, sosyal medya bağımlılığı, teknoloji bağımlılığı, alkol ve madde bağımlılığı, kumar bağımlılığı ve tüm bağımlılıkları ortak ele alan paylaşımlardır) ve Diğer paylaşımlardır (Bağış ve Gönüllülük Çağrısı, Sağlıklı yaşam, Genel Duyurular, Spor ve Sanat). Çalışmada ayrıca Yeşilay’ın ilişki kurma stratejileri olan “açıklık”, “bilgi yayma” ve “katılım” bileşenleri incelenmiştir. İlişki kurma bileşen analizinin sonuçları, Yeşilay Türkiye Facebook sayfasının “katılım” ve “bilgi yayma” bileşenini tam olarak yerine getirdiğini göstermiştir. İçerik analizi sonucunda ise Yeşilay Türkiye Facebook sayfasının en çok hedef kitlelerine faaliyetlerini duyurma amaçlı kullandığı ortaya çıkmıştır.

Communication and Engagement Strategies of NPO’s on Social Media: The Case of The Green Crescent Turkey Facebook Page

Social media provides a communication platform for non-profit organizations (NPO) to reach a large number of stakeholders quickly, efficiently and publicly. NPOs make it easier to strength dialogue effectively through social media. The fact that non-governmental organizations started to use social media effectively turned this field into a medium to be examined. The various opportunities offered by social media such as establishing relationships, expressing oneself freely, gaining stakeholders, and easily reaching the target audience causes expanding its usage area day by day. In this study, the use of social media in the context of strategic communication and engagement strategies of non-governmental organizations was examined. Shared posts that are shared in a one-year period are divided into categories by content analysis method. These main categories are; Addiction related posts (cigarette and tobacco addiction, social media addiction, technology addiction, alcohol and drug addiction, gambling addiction and all addictions together) and Other posts (Call for Donations and Volunteers, Healthy Living, General Announcements, Sports and Arts). In addition, engagement strategies of Yeşilay were examined in the context of “disclosure”, “information dissemination” and “involvement”. Engagement components have shown that Facebook account “participation” and “information dissemination” component were fully used. As a result, the content analysis has shown that Yeşilay Turkey Facebook page was mostly used in order to announce their activities.
