Abstract

Online technologies have begun to penetrate society with many different
applications and innovations since 1990s when the internet began to enter our
lives. Until the early 2000s, various public institutions, private enterprises,
municipalities, universities and other organizations began to enforce
themselves to digital platforms. The concept of digital citizenship has emerged
as a result of these developments. In this sense, the extent to which digital
citizenship is addressed by public institutions in Turkey as a public policy
constitutes the main theme of this paper. Firstly, 9 dimensions of digital
citizenship handled by Ribble and his colleagues (Ribble et al., 2004) are going
to be examined in the context of the policies of public institutions. Thus, it will
be examined how public institutions contribute to Turkey's digital
transformation and to what extent it contributes to digital citizenship.
