In this study, a methodology for designing location sensitive interface which is developed for mobile city applications is proposed and a conducted for Erzurum city. In this context, Erzurum city is divided into seven regions (Aziziye, Cadde, Gez Mahallesi, Kayakyolu, Yıldızkent, Yakutiye, Yenişehir) according to the population that higher than 30.000. For each center, participants that are selected by stratified sampling were asked to order the priority of services that they need to. Service options were determined according to the existing mobile application of 12 metropolitan cities including both domestic and European cities.  Concerning the findings, participants’ patterns of their need orders basis on their location were grouped and main factors were determined. As a result, sample interfaces were designed basis on their choices. These results have a guiding role for future researches and interface development of location sensitive mobile city applications.    

Keywords: Mobile City App, Location Sensitive Design, Mobile Interface Design
