Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify the activities of metropolitan municipalities in Turkey in terms of monetary services and sequence them according to their performances. First, the monetary services activities of 14 metropolitan municipalities have been identified by a DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) model that is related to three inputs and three outputs. DEA provides the performance improvement findings of decision-making units which are not efficient; however, any sequence for efficient decision making units cannot be attained via DEA. Therefore, the municipalities identified as efficient in terms of monetary services with DEA are sequenced with GRA (Grey Relation Analysis). In this way, the municipalities carrying out their monetary services efficiently could be sequenced among themselves. In addition, the efficient factors in the performances of the efficient municipalities could be identified with GRA. The results of applying DEA and GRA to the efficient municipalities (Gaziantep, Erzurum, Eskisehir, Antalya, Samsun, Adana, Ankara and Istanbul Metropolitan Municipalities) in terms of monetary services indicate that Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality has the highest performance and Ankara Metropolitan Municipality has the lowest performance

BÜTÜNLEŞİK VZA ve GİA YÖNTEMLERİYLE BÜYÜKŞEHİR BELEDİYELERİNİN MALİ ETKİNLİK ANALİZİ: TÜRKİYE ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’deki büyükşehir belediyelerinin mali hizmetlerdeki etkinliklerini belirleyerek performanslarına göre sıralamaktır. Öncelikle 14 büyükşehir belediyesinin mali hizmetlerindeki etkinlikleri üç girdi ve üç çıktı içeren bir VZA (Veri Zarflama Analizi) modeli ile belirlenmiştir. VZA, etkin
olmayan karar verme birimlerine ilişkin performans iyileştirme bulguları ortaya koysa da, etkin karar
verme birimleri için herhangi bir sıralama sağlayamamaktadır. Bu nedenle, VZA ile mali hizmetlerde
etkin olarak belirlenen büyükşehir belediyeleri GĠA (Gri Ġlişkisel Analiz) ile sıralanmışlardır. Böylelikle
mali hizmetlerini başarılı bir şekilde yürüten belediyelerin kendi aralarında sıralanması sağlanmıştır. Bunun yanı sıra etkin belediyelerin performanslarına etki eden faktörler de GĠA ile belirlenebilmiştir. VZA
ve mali hizmetlerinde etkin olan belediyelere (Gaziantep, Erzurum, Eskişehir, Antalya, Samsun, Adana,
Ankara veĠstanbul BüyükşehirBelediyeleri) uygulanan GĠA sonuçlarına göre, Ġstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi en yüksek performansa, Anakara Büyükşehir Belediyesi ise en düşük performansa sahip belediyedir
