Digital Presentations of Cultural Heritage: A Proposal for Mobile Application and Interface Design for Batman Hasankeyf Archaeological Site
Abstract
In today's technology-driven world, digital transformation has become an indispensable process in many fields, including the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage. Digitalization has not only transformed various sectors but has also led to significant advancements in how cultural heritage is presented and preserved within social and cultural contexts. Digital platforms play a vital role in increasing the visibility of cultural heritage on both local and global scales, reaching wider audiences, and offering interactive experiences. This study examines the impacts of digital transformation on the promotion of cultural heritage and the exhibition techniques through qualitative research methods. Central to this research is a proposed mobile application and interface design specifically developed for the Hasankeyf Archaeological Site in Batman. The aim of the study is to emphasize the role of mobile applications in supporting the promotion of cultural heritage and to contribute to the academic literature in this field. The proposed application is designed with user-centered features and offers innovative approaches for the digital preservation and promotion of cultural heritage. These innovative approaches have the potential to provide sustainable solutions for the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage.
