Özet

Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin kurum ve kuruluşlar tarafından benimsenmesi hızla sürerken, durumun ülkelere göre, sektörlere göre farklılık göstermesi de bilinen bir gerçektir. Bu çalışmada Kırgızistan’da faaliyet göstermekte olan özel ve devlet üniversitelerinin Instagram kullanım durumları değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışmada öncelikle Instagram’ı aktif olarak kullanmakta olan üniversiteler belirlenmiş ve onların paylaşımları içerik analizine tabii tutulmuştur. İçerik analizi takipçi sayısı, paylaşımların formatı, dile göre dağılımı, takipçilerin tepkisi gibi kriterlere göre yapılmış ve karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz edilmiştir.Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, Kırgızistan’da üniversitelerin %43,3’ünün Instagram’a kayıtlı oldukları ve çok az bir kısmının aktif olarak kullandıkları tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları Kırgızistan’daki üniversitelerin sosyal medya pazarlaması konusundaki genel durumunu görmeleri ve daha etkili olabilmeleri için gerekli olan ipuçlarını sağlaması açısından önemlidir.
