The Investigation of the Relation Between Metaverse and Religion Through Social Media Mining

Metaverse ve Din Kavramlarının Sosyal Medya Madenciliği Yolu ile İncelenmesi

Öz

İnternet teknolojilerinde yaşanan gelişmeler neticesinde insanların kendilerini ifade edebilecekleri, sosyalleşebilecekleri ve paylaşımlarda bulunacakları sosyal alanların sayısında artış yaşanmıştır. Bu alanlar dijitalleşme doğrultusunda sosyal medya platformları olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Sosyal medya platformlarında muazzam boyutta veri oluşmaktadır. Büyük ya da yığın veri olarak da adlandırılan bu veri sosyal bilimler alanlarının bir çoğunda merak oluşturmakta ve anlamlı sonuçlar çıkarmak üzere inceleme altına alınmaktadır. Sosyal medya madenciliği diye adlandırılan bu süreçte Twitter özellikle özgür ifade alanı olarak büyük yer edinmektedir. Mark Zuckerberg şirketini Meta ismini değiştirmesi ile dikkatler metaverse kavramına çekilmiştir. Bu anlamla toplumsal ve de ticari olarak metaverse'in etkilerinin araştırılması gerekliliği ortaya çıkmıştır. Toplumu şekillendiren önemli bir faktör olan dini inanışların metaverse içerisindeki yansımasının araştırılması diğer bir gerekliliktir. Bu amaçla çalışmada metaverse ve din ile ilişkilendirilen ifadelere yönelik atılan tweetler sosyal medya madenciliği yöntemi ile çekilerek içerik analizi yapılmış ve yorumlanmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak çalışmada R programlama kullanılmıştır.
