Türkiye'deki organize sanayi bölgelerinin etkinlik analizi

Organized Industrial Zones (OIZ) are important structures of the industry and they began to be established and supported by the Turkish State since 1960s. Nowadays, there are one or more OIZs in all cities of Turkey. The low occupancy rates of these OIZs make the question of whether the OIZs work efficiently. Although the need to evaluate the efficiencies of Turkey's OIZs is stated on many sources, the studies related on this area are quite few and insufficient. This thesis aims to evaluate the efficiencies of OIZs located in Turkey (on geographical region basis) by using a common weight data envelopment analysis (DEA) based decision model, which is a powerful method to measure the relative efficiencies of decision making units. Actually the conventional DEA – CCR model, a minsum efficiency and a minimax efficiency model were also used to measure the efficiencies of OIZs. But because of the advantages of common weight DEA based decision model, its results were taken as references. The determination of the zones with low efficiency scores means the determination of the zones that have potential development areas. Thus, the other aim of the thesis is to provide an idea to the relevant institutions and organizations about which OIZs can be developed.
