AB KIRSAL KALKINMA PROGRAMININ TÜRKİYE UYGULAMASI: MALATYA İLİ ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

Amaç: AB tarafından ilk defa 2007-2013 yılları arasında uygulanmaya başlanan Katılım Öncesi Yardım Aracının Kırsal Kalkınma Bileşeni (IPARD) programı, Türkiye’de 2011 yılından itibaren fiili olarak uygulanmaya başlamıştır. Çalışmada, IPARD programı üzerinden AB Kırsal Kalkınma Politikasının Türkiye uygulamasının başarılı olup olmadığı araştırılması amaçlanmaktadır.

Yöntem: Çalışmada, Türkiye genelinde daha önce yapılan araştırmadan elde edilen veriler, Tarım ve Kırsal Kalkınmayı Destekleme Kurumu (TKDK) ve Malatya İl Koordinatörlüğü verileri ile Malatya ilinde destek alan faydalanıcılarla yapılan anket sonucunda elde edilen veriler esas alınmaktadır. Anket aracılığıyla elde edilen veriler, istatistiksel olarak analiz edilmekte ve analiz sonuçlarına göre IPARD programının Türkiye’deki sonuçları üzerinde değerlendirmelerde bulunulmaktadır.

Bulgular: Çalışmada, IPARD programının Türkiye uygulamasının genel olarak başarılı olduğu, IPARD programı aracılığıyla Malatya ilinde AB standartlarında üretim yapan çok sayıda işletme kazandırıldığı, yatırım projesi hazırlama kültürü oluşturulduğu, tarımsal işletmelerinin sürdürülebilirliğine ilişkin fizibilite çalışmaları ve mali analiz yapma konusunda tecrübeler edinildiği, doğrudan veya dolaylı olarak istihdam artışına önemli katkılar sunduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Özgünlük: IPARD programının Türkiye'deki başarısı ile ilgili literatürde çok az sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmaların hiçbirinde anket yöntemiyle faydalanıcılardan veri toplanmamıştır ve Malatya ili örneğiyle ilgili daha önce yapılmış bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır.
