    Mobile Payment Adoption During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Literature Review
    (Palgrave Macmillan Ltd, 2026) Belbag, Aybegum Gungordu
    During the pandemic, the shift to non-physical transactions increased the need for mobile payments. This study aims to offer a systematic literature review on consumer behavior towards mobile payment during the pandemic, using the Theory, Context, Characteristics, and Methodology framework and following the Scientific Procedures and Reasons for Systematic Literature Reviews protocol. 47 articles from the WOS database were analyzed, revealing a dominance of quantitative studies, primarily based on the Technology Acceptance Model and UTAUT. Findings show that environmental stimuli and internal states (organism) shape behaviors and behavioral intentions (responses) towards mobile payments during the pandemic. The study concludes with future research directions grounded in the TCCM framework.

    Friction Space and the Re(dis)covery of Urban Roads
    (Palgrave Macmillan Ltd, 2022) Butuner, Funda Bas; Guneri, Gizem Deniz
    For the majority of cities worldwide, car-based mobility has begun to be replaced by alternative mobility modes. This process has augmented the lens for infrastructural topics, and placed infrastructure's latent potentiality at the forefront. Car-dependent infrastructure, however, persists in and conditions urbanism in many others. For such cities, the encounter of roads with the city and human-scale spaces raises critical ground in need of new strategies, particularly to mediate the relation between roads and their vicinities. This article, hereby, dwells on the interfacial relations and spaces betwixt urban roads and relational geographies, conceptualizing friction as a spatial notion. In this, the study departs from the conflicting presence of urban roads in Ankara. Dwelling on two Boulevards-Ataturk and Malazgirt-the article reflects on the obscured spatial, cultural, and social conditions caused by frictionless mobility strategies over time. It uncovers and accentuates the urgency of friction space strategies to claim infrastructural terrains and re(dis)cover severed or missing continuities (in Ankara).
