Abstract

Toplumun sosyal, sosyo-kültürel ve ekonomik değişimi
beraberinde orman işletmelerine olan taleplerin de aratarak çeşitlenmesine
neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle iş ve alan yoğunluğu gibi özellikler dikkate
alınarak orman mühendisi dağılımının en uygun seviyede olması sağlanmalıdır. Bu
çalışmada, Atkinson endeksi kullanılarak Kahramanmaraş Orman Bölge Müdürlüğü
sınırları içerisinde yer alan 7 adet orman işletme müdürlüğünde 2016 yılında görev
yapan orman mühendislerinin sosyal fayda kaybı değerlendirilmiştir. Orman Bölge
Müdürlüğünden elde edilen verilere bağlı olarak Atkinson eşitsizlik endeksleri
hesaplanmıştır. Orman işletme müdürlüklerinde çalışan orman mühendislerinin
sosyal fayda kaybını gösteren değerler 0,585 ile 0,917 arasında değişmektedir.
İşletmelerin farklı özellikleri dikkate alındığında Kahramanmaraş Orman Bölge
Müdürlüğüne bağlı Orman İşletme Müdürlüklerinde çalışan 68 orman mühendisi 37
kişi ile 62 kişi arasında hissedilmiştir.

Keywords

INVESTIGATING THE DISTRIBUTION OF FOREST ENGINEERS IN THE STATE FOREST ENTERPRISES BY USING ATKINSON INEQUALITY INDEX: A CASE STUDY OF KAHRAMANMARAŞ REGIONAL FOREST DIRECTORATE

Abstract

Demands
for forest enterprises increase and diversify along with the social,
socio-cultural and economic changes of the society. Therefore, taking into
consideration of characteristics such as work and area density, the distribution
of forest engineer should be ensured at the most appropriate level. In this
study, loss of social benefit for forest engineer(s) who served in the 7 state
forest enterprises located in Kahramanmaras Regional Forest Directorate in 2016
has been evaluated by Atkinson index. Depending on the obtained data from the
Kahramanmaraş Regional Forest Directorate, Atkinson inequality indices were
calculated. The values indicating the loss of social benefit of forest
engineers vary between 0,585 and 0,917. When different characteristics of the
enterprises were taken into consideration, 68 forest engineers felt between 37
and 62 people in Kahramanmaraş Forest Enterprises located in Kahramanmaras
Regional Forest Directorate.

Keywords
