LINGUISTIC STUDIES ON TWEETS GATHERED FROM MUĞLA REGION: A PRELIMINARY STUDY

Citizens or visitors of a city can supply significant information with their social media posts by using mobile devices. These data can give information about complaints, touristic attractions, emergency situations etc. Social media analysis will be beneficial for smart city and smart management concept. This study is a first attempt to analyze and understand this touristic Muğla region by using social media. During this study, a sample dataset is formed by collecting the tweets that were sent from the Muğla region. Linguistic studies are implemented in tweets which are in Turkish language. Various techniques, statistical language and characteristics are used. Preliminary study revealed main topics about the region, user and hashtag types. We consider this analysis as a first step to a more detailed and complete study for this region.Keywords: social media analysis, tweet, smart city, crowd sensing
