Son zamanlarda gelirin yaşam kalitesi, daha iyi yaşam düzeyi ve yaşam memnuniyeti üzerindeki etkisinin belirlenmesi konusunda yapılan çalışmalar, kişi başına düşen Gayri Safi Yurtiçi gelirin kullanılmasına şüphe ile yaklaşılmasını önermektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı illerin daha iyi yaşam endeksinde yer alan genel indeks düzeyi ile kişi başına düşen gayrisafi yurt içi hasıla arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığını araştırmaktır. Söz konusu amaca ulaşmak için, araştırmada kullanılan veriler Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu veri tabanından elde edilmiş ve analizler SPSS 17 ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Hiyerarşik çoklu regresyon analizi neticesinde, illerin kişi başına düşen gelir düzeyleri arttıkça, daha iyi yaşam düzeyi indeks değerlerinin de iyileştiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Impact of the Provinces’ Gross Domestic Product Per Capita on the Better Life Index: An Analysis at the Level of Provinces

Öz

Recent studies on determining the impact of income on quality of life, better living level and life satisfaction suggest that the use of Gross Domestic Product per capita should be treated with suspicion. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a relationship between the better life index level and the Gross Domestic Product per capita of the provinces. In order to achieve this objective, the data used in the research was obtained from the Turkey Statistical Institute database and analyses were performed with SPSS 17. As a result of hierarchical multiple regression analysis, it was concluded that as the per capita income levels of the provinces increased, better living level index values improved.
