Examining the dynamics of Sustainable Development Goal 17 in Türkiye: A data-driven multi-criteria decision-making approach
Abstract
Sustainable Development Goal 17 is critical to advancing operational capacities and rejuvenating international partnerships to achieve sustainable development. Despite its strategic importance, longitudinal, methodologically integrated assessments of SDG 17 performance at the national level remain limited, particularly in Türkiye. In this research, Türkiye's performance between 2010 and 2021 was thoroughly investigated using 26 indicators, with multi-criteria assessment methods applied to weight the criteria. The IDOCRIW method was employed. This method determines objective weights based on the information content and differences among the criteria, thereby enhancing methodological consistency in the evaluation process. Subsequently, the CoCoSo method was employed to rank the years in terms of performance. The CoCoSo method integrates compromise to obtain more balanced and reliable rankings. According to the results, 2013 was identified as the year with the highest performance across all methods, whereas 2019–2021 exhibited the lowest performance. These results indicate a recent decline in Türkiye’s sustainable development performance in partnership-related areas and underline the need for renewed policy attention in this area. To test the consistency of the proposed methodology, comparative analyses were conducted with ARAS, TOPSIS, VIKOR, and MOOSRA methods, and the findings were cross-validated. The convergence of rankings across different methods confirms the reliability of the proposed evaluation framework. This study contributes to the literature by offering a longitudinal, multi-method, and policy-relevant assessment framework for SDG 17 and provides practical insights for policymakers to monitor partnership effectiveness and design more resilient sustainable development strategies.
