Abstract
Social
networks, one of the virtual environments that attract most interest, are
increasing their users daily since they can meet demands and expectations of various
communities. According to the 2013 statistics of "Global Web Index",
whose results are trusted on international platforms and which conducts
statistical analyses on virtual users, the age group with the largest share of
users having Facebook accounts is 16-34, leading to 59%. This age range also
includes the age group of university students. Although access to information
and communication technologies is high in this age group, there are also
university students that do not have Facebook accounts or delete their accounts
later. Through purposive sampling method, the study was conducted with the
participation of 45 female university students at various universities in İzmir
that had never used Facebook or deleted their accounts later. Qualitative research
methods were applied during data collection and analysis. The study was based
on the model of content analysis in the article entitled "The Reasons for
Non-Use of Social Net-working Websites by University Students" by Turan,
Tinmaz, and Göktaş."
In this study, excessive
time spent online, in the first place, is cited as the reason for not using
facebook. Nearly half of the participants stated that a person’s true identity
should be used on Facebook. According to the results obtained, users invited their
friends to use Facebook to stay in touch with them. At the end of the research,
the hypothesis: "the reason girls do not use Facebook is that they found
Facebook dangerous", is not confirmed.

Abstract
En çok ilgi gösterilen sanal ortamlardan biri
olan sosyal ağlar, farklı çevrelerin istek ve beklentilerine yanıt verebilmesi
nedeniyle kullanıcı sayısını her geçen gün arttırmaktadır. Uluslararası
platformda sonuçlarına güvenilen ve sanal kullanıcılar üzerine istatistiksel
çalışmalar yapan web sitesi “Global Web Index”in 2013 yılı verilerine göre
Facebook hesabına sahip kişilerin en fazla olduğu yaş aralığı %59’la 16-34’tür.
Bu yaş aralığı aynı zamanda üniversite öğrencilerinin yaş aralığını da
kapsamaktadır. Bilgi iletişim teknolojilerine ulaşımın özellikle bu yaş
aralığında çok olmasına rağmen Facebook’ta hiç bulunmayan ya da sonradan
hesaplarını kapatan üniversite öğrencileri de bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma amaçlı
örnekleme yöntemi ile Facebook’u hiç kullanmayan ya da bir süre sonra hesabını
kapatan ve İzmir’deki Üniversitelerde okumakta olan toplam 45 kız öğrenci
değerlendirmeye alınarak oluşturulmuştur. Veri toplama ve analizi sürecinde
niteliksel araştırma yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Uygulamada; Turan, Tinmaz,
Göktaş’ın “The Reasons for Non-Use of Social Net -working Websites by
University Students” isimli makalelerinde kullandıkları içerik analizi modeli
temel alınmıştır.
