Abstract
This study addresses two different problems. Firstly, recycling in the context of domestic solid waste management. With the developing technology, there is an increase in people's production and consumption habits, and the resulting wastes both endanger human health and harm nature. Domestic solid waste is one of them. For this reason, individuals should be encouraged to recycle their domestic solid waste and recycling habits should be gained. However, current systems are insufficient at this point. The second is the donation of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the context of their economic continuity. Most of the income sources of NGOs are donations. However, due to the lack of income sources, most NGOs cannot reach their targets. Therefore, there is a need for systems that can encourage individuals to donate to NGOs. This study offers a solution to these two problems by developing a system that enables individuals to transfer the income they obtain by recycling their domestic solid waste as donations to NGOs. In this respect, a smart recycling vending machine, where individuals can recycle their domestic solid waste, and a mobile application, where they can donate the virtual money they obtain by recycling to NGOs, were designed. In this study, first of all, a scenario was prepared by the researcher to embody the project idea, and then a simulation was developed, in which many people could experience the project idea with the help of an expert in the field in line with the scenario and designs.
