These criteria include a low rate ofunemployment, a fair distribution of income, urbanization, and quality ofeducation and health systems. In this study, comparative analysis of thehabitability levels of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa)countries with Turkey is aimed to be done by the COPRAS method. In the study,GDP, population density, average life span, unemployment rate, humandevelopment index have been taken as criteria. At the end of the study, theorder of the countries obtained with the data has been interpreted in theconclusion part. As a result of analysis, Russia has been detected to be thefirst country in terms of the level of habitability and the second is Chinawith a slight difference, and the last is South Africa. Turkey took the fourthplace in the rankings.
