Ülkelerin sürdürülebilir kalkınmaya önem vermesiyle çevrenin iyileşmesi ve sınırlı kaynakların kontrol altına alınması sağlanarak ekonomilerin gelişmesi sağlanabilir. Özellikle Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinin sürdürülebilir kalkınma ile ilgili politikaları küresel ekonomiyi etkileyebildiğinden dolayı Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinin sürdürülebilir kalkınma performanslarının ölçülmesi önem arz etmektedir. Bu bağlamda araştırmada, Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinin en son ve güncel olan Dönüşüm Performansı Endeksi (Transaction Performance Index - TPI) bileşenlerine ait değerler üzerinden söz konusu ülkelerin sürdürülebilir kalkınma performansları MEREC tabanlı WEDBA yöntemi ile ölçülmüştür. Bulgulara göre ilk olarak MEREC yöntemi ile ülkelere göre en önemli TPI bileşeninin ‘‘çevresel dönüşüm’’ olduğu tespit edilmiştir. İkinci olarak ise MEREC tabanlı WEDBA yöntemine göre en fazla sürdürülebilir kalkınma performansına sahip ilk üç ülkenin Danimarka, İrlanda ve Malta, buna karşın en az performansa sahip ilk üç ülkenin ise GKRK, Finlandiya ve Estonya olduğu gözlenmiştir. Araştırmada ayrıca MEREC tabanlı WEDBA yöntemi kapsamında ülkelerin ortalama sürdürülebilir kalkınma performansları hesaplanmış ve ortalama performans değerinden az performansa sahip olan ülkelerin küresel ekonomiye katkılarının daha fazla olması için sürdürülebilir kalkınma performanslarını artırmaları gerektiği değerlendirilmiştir. Son olarak yöntem açısından duyarlılık ve ayırım uzaklığı analizlere göre ülkelerin sürdürülebilir kalkınma performansları TPI kapsamında MEREC tabanlı WEDBA yöntemi ile ölçülebileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Analysis of Sustainable Development Performances with MEREC-based WEDBA Method: Example of European Union Countries

Öz

With the emphasis of countries on sustainable development, the improvement of the environment and the control of limited resources can be achieved and the development of economies can be achieved. It is important to measure the sustainable development performances of European Union countries, especially since the policies of the European Union countries related to sustainable development can affect the global economy. In this context, the sustainable development performances of the European Union countries were measured with the MEREC-based WEDBA method over the values of the Transaction Performance Index (TPI) components of the European Union countries, which are the latest and current. According to the findings, firstly, it was determined that the most important TPI component according to the countries was "environmental transformation" with the MEREC method. Secondly, according to the MEREC-based WEDBA method, it was observed that the first three countries with the highest sustainable development performance were Denmark, Ireland and Malta, while the first three countries with the lowest performance were Southern Cyprus, Finland and Estonia. In the study, the average sustainable development performance of the countries was calculated within the scope of the MEREC-based WEDBA method and it was evaluated that the countries with less than the average performance value should increase their sustainable development performance in order to contribute more to the global economy. Finally, according to the sensitivity and separation distance analyzes in terms of method, it has been concluded that the sustainable development performances of the countries can be measured with the MEREC-based WEDBA method within the scope of TPI.
