There is movement in every area of life where people exist. Mobile vehicles are one of the important public transportation vehicles that provide movement at the city scale. In a continuous cycle, these vehicles cannot meet the needs over time and are replaced with new ones depending on the developing technology. Mobile vehicles that remain idle or no longer used are left to rot. It is possible to transform and reuse unused mobile devices. Within the scope of the research, examples of trams that have been re-functionalized in the world were examined, and the historical and technical features of Konya’s old tramway wagons were included This study aims to determine the users’ location-based function preferences in order to transform the tram wagons, which are idle in the province of Konya, to gain a new function. In the research method, valid and reliable semantic differentiation scales were used in spatial perception studies. Five different functional groups that tram wagons can transform into were determined, and 77 people residing in Konya were asked to evaluate these function proposals with an online questionnaire. As a result of the study, the tram cafe-restaurant, the tram class-workshop-library and the tram kiosk-grocer-market were welcomed; tram hotel-dormitory-pension and tram housing were rated more negatively.
