DİJİTAL AYAK İZİ YÖNETİMİ: DİJİTAL DEFİN

Gelişen teknolojilerle birlikte internetin üretken kullanıcıları olarak insanların, şu anda oluşturdukları dijital ayak izlerinin gelecekteki etkisi konusunda endişeler artmış bulunmaktadır. Kişinin, vefat etmesi durumunda geride bıraktığı dijital ayak izlerinin silinmesi ya da yakınlarına/vasilerine devredilmesi anlamına gelen "dijital defin" konusu ise dijital ayak izi yönetiminin en önemli unsurudur. Bu bağlamda ulusal literatürde çok az çalışılmış kavramlar olarak dijital ayak izi yönetimi, dijital ayak izi farkındalığı konuları, kavramsal olarak incelenerek, dijital verilerimizin ölüm sonrası ne olacağı konusu -dijital defin- kavramına dayandırılarak tartışılacaktır. Yönetim bilimleri literatüründe çok az yer bulmuş yeni bir terim olan dijital ayak izi yönetimi kavramına bu çalışma ile farkındalık kazandırılması amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden ikincil kaynak taramasından yararlanılmıştır. Ayrıca ikincil kaynak taraması ile incelemeye alınan çalışmalar MAXQDA 2022 programı kullanılarak dijital ayak izi alanında yapılmış yayınların odaklandığı noktaları belirlemek amacı ile anahtar kelimeleri alınarak, kelime bulutu analizine tabii tutulmuştur. Çalışma sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre dijital ayak izlerinin doğru ve etkin kullanımı dijital vatandaşlığın bir gereği olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Dijital ayak izi yönetimi bağlamında ele alınan dijital defin konusunun alan yazında oldukça yeni bir kavram olması çalışmanın en önemli kısıtıdır. Bu çalışma ile ileride yapılacak araştırmalara kuramsal bir çerçeve çizilerek, bu alanda çalışmak isteyen akademisyenlere de yol gösterici olmak amaçlanmıştır.

DIGITAL FOOTPRINT MANAGEMENT: DIGITAL BURIAL

This study aims to examine digital footprint management and digital footprint awareness and deals with this question by focusing on the concept of digital burial: What will happen to our digital data after death? Digital footprint management is a new term and has found a narrow area in the literature on management science. This study is an attempt to raise awareness of this concept. It employs the review of secondary sources as one of qualitative research methods. In addition, it examines various studies under the scope of secondary literature review and then they are subjected to word cloud analysis by taking their keywords to determine focal points of publications conducted in the field of digital footprint with the assistance of program MAXQDA 2022. According to its findings, the correct and effective use of digital footprints is a requirement of digital citizenship. The subject of digital burial, discussed in the context of digital footprint management is a fairly new concept in the literature and this situation is the most important limitation of this study. It expects to draw a theoretical framework for future research and to guide other academicians who wish to work in this field.
