Smart Transportation Applications And Social Change In Algeria: Reshaping Social Relationships Through The "yassir" Application

Authors : Mohamed Azzouz .

Abstract

Algeria is experiencing a notable transformation in its social fabric and human interactions due to the widespread use of smart transportation applications like "Yassir." These applications raise crucial questions about their impact on social and economic relationships within the country. Do they reinforce "individualism" at the expense of traditional "solidarity" by altering mobility patterns and interpersonal interactions? How do they affect labor relations in the transportation sector, potentially generating new forms of "independence" alongside potential "dependency"? Furthermore, the research explores how these applications reshape the concept of "public space" and its capacity to foster spontaneous encounters among diverse segments of society. study also examines the impact of these applications on the redefinition of "trust" in daily transactions, r These inquiries form the basis for a profound analysis aimed at understanding the intricate effects of smart transportation applications on Algerian society and its future trajectory.
