TY - JOUR T1 - EVALUATING CHILDREN’S HOMES OF SOCIAL SERVICES AND CHILDREN PROTECTION AGENCY VIA DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS TT - Sosyal Hizmetler ve Çocuk Esirgeme Kurumuna Bağlı Çocuk Yuvalarının Veri Zarflama Yöntemiyle Değerlendirilmesi AU - Kırış, Şafak AU - Ulutaş, Berna PY - 2008 DA - April JF - Toplum ve Sosyal Hizmet PB - Hacettepe University WT - DergiPark SN - 2147-3374 SP - 57 EP - 70 VL - 19 IS - 1 LA - en AB - The environment that children grow up in has animportant role in the formation of their future life and the aim of this paperis to improve the living conditions of children at protection homes. DataEnvelopment Analysis (DEA), one of the most common techniques in the efficiencyanalysis of homogenous organizations, is used to evaluate children’s homes ofSocial Services and Children Protection Agency. Inputs and outputs are definedin the model and to obtain their priority, the weight restrictions arecalculated. CCR output model with and without weight restrictions are solvedand finally appropriate conditions are proposed for the protection homes.  KW - Efficiency KW - Data Envelopment Analysis N2 - Çocukların içinde büyüdükleri ortamın, onlarıngelecek yaşantılarının şekillenmesinde önemli bir rolü vardır. Bu çalışmanınamacı da çocuk esirgeme kurumlarında kalan çocukların yasam koşullarınıniyileştirilmesine yöneliktir. Bu çalışmada, homojen birimlerin etkinliklerininçözümlenmesinde yaygın olarak kullanılan yöntemlerden biri olan Veri ZarflamaAnalizi (VZA) Sosyal Hizmetler ve Çocuk Esirgeme Kurumu’na bağlı çocukyuvalarını değerlendirmek üzere kullanılmıştır. Model için gerekli girdi veçıktılar, önceliklerini belirlemek üzere tanımlanmış ve ağırlık kısıtlarıhesaplanmıştır. CCR çıktı modeli için, ağırlık kısıtlarının bulunduğu vebulunmadığı durumlara yönelik çözümler aranmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlaryorumlanmış ve esirgeme kurumları için uygun koşullar önerilmiştir.  CR - Al-Tamimi H., Lootah H.A.
