Türkiye’nin Yaratıcı Şehirleri

Abstract

Yaratıcı şehirler, yaratıcı mesleklerde çalışan yaratıcı sınıfı kendisine çeken, eğitim düzeyi yüksek insanların yoğun olduğu, yüksek teknolojili endüstrilere sahip, farklılıklara hoşgörülü şehirlerdir. Gelecek ekonomilerin gücü, yaratıcı şehirlerin gelişmesinin altında yatmaktadır. Çünkü yaratıcı şehirlerin temelinde, gelişme ve büyümenin öncüsü olan yaratıcılık vardır. Bu bağlamda, çalışmanın amacını da, Türkiye’nin şehirlerinin yaratıcılık seviyeleri ve gelişmişlik düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin irdelenmesi oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada öncelikle; teknoloji, tolerans ve yetenek girdileri kullanılarak, şehirlerin yaratıcılık düzeyleri hesaplanmış ve daha sonra gelişmişlik seviyeleri ile kıyaslanmıştır. Şehirlerin yaratıcılık sıralamalarının oluşturulmasında Küresel Yaratıcılık Endeksi’nde yer alan endeks oluşturma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Yaratıcı şehir sıralamasında, Ankara ve Kocaeli ilk sırayı paylaşmış, Eskişehir, İstanbul ve İzmir onları takip etmiştir. Sonuç olarak, yaratıcılık ve gelişmişlik arasındaki güçlü ilişki, Türkiye’nin şehirlerinde de ortaya çıkmıştır.
