Historically it is observed that economic activities are mostly concentrated around natural resources. Today, there are some factors that are as effective as natural resources, chancing both within the companies themselves and in terms of the market and place they are in. Cities where economic activities are concentrated, urban areas clustered in cities, rural areas formed by small-scale economies compared to cities, and the interaction between them are formations that need to be examined in detail in the analysis of today’s economic and social phenomena, some existing problems, and solutions.
In this study, agglomeration/cluster economies will be discussed in the theoretical framework, the reasons for the concentrations that affect the formation of agglomeration economies and their contribution to regional development will be examined.

YIĞILMA EKONOMİLERİ: TEORİK BİR İNCELEME

Öz

Tarihsel olarak incelendiğinde ekonomik faaliyetlerin çoğunlukla doğal kaynakların çevresinde toplandığı gözlenmektedir. Günümüzde ise doğal kaynaklar kadar etkili olan hem firmaların kendi içlerinde hem de içinde bulundukları piyasa ve mekân itibariyle değişen bazı faktörler mevcuttur. Ekonomik faaliyetlerin yoğunlaştığı şehirler, şehirlerin içinde kümelenmiş şehircikler, şehirlere nazaran küçük ölçekli ekonomilerin oluşturduğu kırsal alanlar ve bunlar arasındaki etkileşim, günümüz iktisadi ve sosyal olgularının, mevcut bir takım problemlerin ve çözüm yollarının analizinde detaylı incelenmesi gereken oluşumlardır.
Bu çalışmada mekân unsuruna odaklanarak çeşitli iktisadi çıkarımların yapıldığı yığılma/ kümelenme ekonomileri teorik çerçevede ele alınacak, yığılma ekonomilerinin oluşumuna etki eden yoğunlaşmaların nedenleri ve bölgesel gelişmeye olan katkıları incelenecektir.
