Abstract

Bu çalışmanın ana amacı kitle kaynak yönteminin istihbarat üretimine getirdiği yeni bakış açıları ve uygulama alanlarının tespit edilmesidir. Bunun için nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmış, kitle kaynağın kavramsal altyapısının ve uygulama alanlarının istihbarat üretimine ve organizasyonel yapısına yeni perspektifler getirip getirmediği sorusu üzerinde durulmuştur. Çalışma bu minvalde iki bölüme ayrılmıştır. İlk bölümde kitle kaynak kavramı irdelenmiştir. Bunun için çalışmanın teorik çerçevesini de oluşturan kitlelerin bilgeliği fikri, kitlenin teknoloji ile etkileşimi ve yeni sosyal sınıflar haline gelen Pro-Amatların ve üreketicilerin ortaya çıkışı işlenmiştir. İkinci bölümünde ise bir haber üretim platformu olan Ushahidi tanımlanmış, 2010’daki Haiti depremi sonrası kullanımı ve ürettiği istihbaratın mahiyeti incelenmiştir.

The Place of Crowdsourcing Method in Intelligence Production: Example of Ushahidi Platform

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to determine the new perspectives and application areas brought by the crowdsourcing method to intelligence production. For this, the qualitative research method was used and the question of whether the conceptual infrastructure and application areas of crowdsourcing brought new perspectives to intelligence production and organizational structure was emphasized. The work is divided into two parts in this way. In the first part, the concept of crowdsourcing is examined. For this, the idea of the wisdom of the crowds, which also constitutes the theoretical framework of the study, the interaction of the crowd with technology, and the emergence of Pro-Ams and prosumers, which have become new social classes, are discussed. In the second part, Ushahidi, a news production platform, was defined and its use after the Haiti earthquake in 2010 and the nature of the intelligence it produced was examined.
