                            <p>In this study, a research is carried out on the factors affecting investments in migration policies. In this context, as a result of a comprehensive literature analysis, 6 different factors affecting investments in migration policies are identified. An analysis is carried out with the fuzzy DEMATEL technique with the aim of determining the importance weights of these factors. In this way, it can be determined in what way migration policies support investments. This situation contributes to businesses&#039; ability to develop effective investment strategies. The biggest contribution of this study to the literature is the establishment of a new model with the fuzzy DEMATEL technique in determining the most important factors affecting investments in migration policies. The biggest advantage of the DEMATEL method over other similar techniques is that causality analysis is taken into account during the analysis process. In this way, it is possible to obtain more effective and accurate analysis results. Similarly, by considering the DEMATEL approach with fuzzy numbers, it is possible to reduce the uncertainty in the analysis process. According to the analysis results, compliance with integration policies has been determined as the factor that most affects investments in migration policies. According to the analysis carried out with the fuzzy DEMATEL approach, this factor has an importance weight of 0.1743. International diplomatic achievements and relations rank second with an importance weight of 0.1725. Increasing potential workforce is determined as the third most important factor with an importance weight of 0.1677. Considering these results, it has been determined that more attention should be paid to compliance with integration policies. Well-designed integration strategies promote the successful participation of immigrants in economic, social and cultural life. In this context, priority should be paid to the issue of education and language management. To achieve this goal, accessible and affordable language education programs must be offered for immigrants. Providing additional support programs in schools for immigrant children is another issue that can seriously support this process. On the other hand, vocational training programs should be offered to facilitate the integration of immigrants into the local labor market.</p></trans-abstract>

Bu çerçevede, kapsamlı bir literatür analizi sonucunda göç politikalarındayatırımlara etki eden 6 farklı faktör tespit edilmektedir. Bu faktörlerin önem ağırlıklarının belirlenmesi hedefiyle bulanık DEMATEL tekniği ile bir analiz gerçekleştirilmektedir. Bu sayede, göç politikalarının yatırımlara hangi açıdan destek sağladığı belirlenebilmiş olmaktadır. Bu durum da işletmelerin etkin yatırım stratejisi geliştirebilmesine katkı sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın literatüreen büyük katkısını göç politikalarında yatırımlara etki eden en önemli faktörlerin belirlenmesinde bulanık DEMATEL tekniği ile yeni bir model kurulmasıdır. DEMATEL yönteminin diğer benzertekniklerden en büyük üstünlüğü analiz sürecinde nedensellik analizinin dikkate alınmasıdır. Bu sayede, daha etkin ve doğru analiz sonuçlarına ulaşabilmek mümkün olabilmektedir. Benzer şekilde, DEMATEL yaklaşımının bulanık sayılar ile dikkate alınması sayesinde, analiz sürecindeki belirsizliğin azaltılabilmesi söz konusu olabilmektedir. Elde edilen analiz sonuçlarına göre entegrasyon politikalarına uyum göç politikalarında yatırımlara en fazla etki eden faktör olarak belirlenmiştir. Bulanık DEMATEL yaklaşımı ile gerçekleştirilen analize göre bu faktör 0.1743 önem ağırlığına sahiptir. Uluslararası diplomatik başarılar ve ilişkiler ise 0.1725 önem ağırlığı ile ikinci sırayı almaktadır. Artan potansiyel işgücü ise 0.1677 önem ağırlığı ile en önemli üçüncü faktör olarak tespit edilmektedir. Belirtilen bu sonuçlar dikkate alındığında, entegrasyon politikalarına uyum konusuna daha fazla önem gösterilmesi gerektiği belirlenmiştir. İyi tasarlanmış entegrasyon stratejileri, göçmenlerin ekonomik, sosyal ve kültürel yaşama başarılı bir şekilde katılımını teşvik etmektedir. Bu bağlamda, öncelikli olarak, eğitim ve dil yönetimi konusuna dikkat edilmelidir. Bu amaca ulaşabilmek için göçmenler için erişilebilir ve uygun maliyetli dil eğitimi programları sunulmalıdır. Göçmen çocuklar için okullarda ek destek programları sunulması da bu sürece ciddi anlamda destek olabilecek başka bir husustur. Öte yandan, göçmenlerin yerel işgücü piyasasına entegrasyonunu kolaylaştırmak için mesleki eğitim programları sunulmalıdır.</p></abstract>
