DIGITALIZATION OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND NEW COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES: A REVIEW ON THE VISUAL INTERFACE OF THE NATIONAL JUDICIARY INFORMATICS SYSTEM (UYAP)

Abstract

With the digitalization of communication technologies, daily life has become much easier. In parallel with this digitalization, government institutions have also had to make some changes while conducting their business and transactions. The e-government system is at the forefront of these changes. The National Judiciary Informatics System (UYAP), which is the digitalized information system of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Turkey, has been integrated into this system. With the project, first of all, units such as courts and prisons affiliated to the Ministry of Justice and law enforcement units affiliated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs were included in the system. In this respect, significant progress has been made in preventing crime and crime by facilitating communication between affiliated units and reaching law enforcement units. Later, portals for various users such as lawyers and experts were added to the system, thus facilitating access to different courts, sending documents, or remote review. Finally, all citizens can access the system through the citizen portal. This has made it easier for citizens, who are the main element of the service, to access the justice system. By making it easier for different users to carry out their own transactions, UYAP also provides the opportunity for transactions to be carried out quickly. In addition, it is an important fact that it saves cost, time and effort. Thanks to UYAP portals, citizens can see all their judicial proceedings and history. In addition to the facilities it provides for those who provide judicial services such as lawyers, experts and mediators, UYAP also provides archive services. In this respect, users can view their completed transactions online through technologies such as the web, smartphone and tablet, regardless of time and place. They can produce documents under the same conditions and send these documents with e-signature or mobile signature. Receiving and sending information to citizens can also be done with the UYAP SMS system. All judicial notifications can be made to the registered e-mail addresses of official institutions. Since its establishment, UYAP has been increasing its functionality by bringing significant convenience to the Ministry of Justice personnel, other professional users and citizens. This study aims to reveal the convenience and impact that the UYAP system brings to users, which allows quick and easy access to the information recorded with the database system. Content analysis of the qualitative method was applied in the study examining UYAP, which provides easy, fast and safe delivery of services regardless of time and place through different portals. The study ultimately reveals that communication technologies bring great convenience to the justice system, reduce costs, and increase speed and transparency.
