Evaluation of transportation infrastructure investments in terms of finance

The infrastructures of the countries reflect the development levels of the nations. Infrastructure affects running effective and efficient of systems, profitability of sectors, level of service that is presented to public and generally quality of life of countries directly. Because of this, establishment of infrastructure has a directly relationship with the mentioned country. Infrastructure consists of basic sectors as electricity, water, naturalgas, communication, transportation and related elements of these. Thus it can be said that infrastructural variety and development level of infrastructure of countries has a directly relationship too. Basicly a classification can be done as undeveloped, developing and developed countries in terms of the economical levels of the countries. These developing levels present not only economical but also technical, social, political and cultural levels too. The annual budget share of infrastructure investments is limited in developed countries. Likewise infrastructural establishment period has completed majorly in relevant countries, there is stability for preserving the existing level on ecomonical and related phases. Undeveloped countries can not reach the economical power that move developing and establishing dynamics. Becuase of this, stil they can not start the period of development and establishment. Developing countries start to the period of development period and densely infrastructural investment period because of the ability of moving their dynamics on various doses. Accordingly the share of infrastructure on annual investment budget is quite high on developing countries. The bilateral relationship of transportation with each sectors is seen when the basic sectors of a country is considered as education, health, service and security. On the other hand, the role and position of transportation is clear when it is considered on the context of infrastructure. Because of all of these, transportation as a basic sector and infrastrucutral component gets one of the highest share on infrastructure investments in developing countries. Thecase is similar in Turkey as a developing country. Infrastructural investments has a very significant share on annual investment budgets of Turkey. Transportation is the first issue on investments for last years which has almost half of the total as of today. On this context, the role of transportation investments in terms of economical implications of a country is very important. At this point, it is a necessity to make more detailed investigations.
