Turkey has a
high potential in the field of agriculture and livestock production. Turkey has
a long history in the production of livestock system, which became the “buffer”
sector of economy and the “locomotive” sector of Turkey. Although nowadays
pastures are decreased, Turkey has quite large pastures. Besides, the domestic
demand for meat in Turkey is quite large and tend to a show considerable
growth. Animal husbandry is carrying great importance in terms of protein
source and fattening cattle in the red meat production. In this sense, the
development of meat production in terms of quality and quantity is also very
necessary in terms of the nutritional problem that arises parallel to the
growing population. In this study, the causes of increase in meat prices in
Turkey were investigated, and the findings showed that, the cause of the price
increases made as inadequate animal fattening. As a result, it was decided to
establish a new place for the production of cattle-raising. Before starting the
construction of the fattening livestock farm, firstly the location of the
establishment is considered. In the decision-making process, it is quite
difficult to make choices because of the different alternatives in terms of
various criteria's. For this purpose, the PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking
Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation) method, which is an easy and
straightforward method of multi-criteria decision making techniques which are
frequently used in researches in recent years, has been used to select the
place of establishment in Turkey. The choice of fattening farm establishment
site was evaluated in 81 provinces; cattle feed areas, demand on meat, urban
development index value, average minimum temperature, average maximum
temperature, precipitation amount and grant support criteria were evaluated
with using the PROMETHEE method. The interactions between the criterion and the
criteria that influence the process were determined as a result of the survey
conducted. As a result of this survey study, criteria weights and criterion
values were determined by Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method and solved
by PROMETHEE method considering the results. As a conclusion, the most suitable
and the less suitable provinces for fattening livestock farm are selected
