Abstract

Effective use of information and communication technology in all aspects of economic and social lifecauses in improvements not just in manufacturing processes but also in other fields of life such aseducation, commerce, and social ties. As the societal system evolved, it was named \"modern society,\"\"technology society,\" and eventually \"information society\" in order to maintain quality of living,stability, and tolerance to this rapid transition. The information society can be described as a societythat carries out all activities related to the transmission, storage, and dissemination of informationby investing in computer-communication technology. With this definition, it is now necessary toexplore the effect of knowledge on culture and social life in greater depth, as well as the countries'adaptation to this society. In Turkey, there are a few of dissertations on this subject. Our aim is toexamine master and doctoral dissertations on the information society to determine which aspects ofsocial existence are the most strongly linked. We searched dissertations that were published in theYOK (Yüksek Öğretim Kurumu) platform between 2010 and 2020. Tables will be used to providethe abstract details along with the social areas to which they are linked. In comparison, tables summarized and interpreted the years and departments the studies were studied more intensively in.
