The Performance Evaluation of the ASEAN Countries and Turkey in the Sustainable Development Index Framework with the TOPSIS Method
Öz
In the evaluations based on the export and
import growth hypothesis, export and import are the strongest factors of Turkey's
GDP increase over the last 30 years. Therefore, Turkey has succeeded in
shifting from economic contraction to the enlargement by increasing the
exports. Moreover, sustainable expansion has been possible with balanced
progress in imports and exports. Turkey aims to increase its export volume in
order to achieve 2023 economic and social welfare objectives in a sustainable
structure. According to the Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT) 2016 data,
49.5% of Turkey's exports are to European Union (EU-28) countries and second
place is Asian countries with 26.5%. Compared to 2015 data, export to EU
countries seems to have increased from 42.7% to 49.5% in overall export rates,
but declined by 9.7% in value. Exports to Asian countries decreased by 26.2% compared
to 2015. Asian countries have the first rank with 35.9% among the countries
Turkey imports, while EU countries are the second with 35%. Also, the trade
volume has increased from $ 1.3 billion to $ 10 billion with ASEAN countries,
since 2002. Southeast Asian Countries
(ASEAN) is a union established in 1967 for economic, social, cultural,
technical, educational and other fields of cooperation. In the study, ASEAN
which consists of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and Singapore
(founding members), Brunei (1984), Vietnam (1995), Laos (1997), Myanmar (1997)
and Cambodia (1999) and dialogue partner Turkey (2010) will be ranked by
indexes such as sustainable environment (15 criteria), sustainable economy (25
criteria), social development (18 criteria) and sustainable development
(include all 58 criteria) in the framework of the World Bank 2016 Development
Report. In the study, The World Bank data will be analyzed by the TOPSIS method
which is one of the Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods and it is
aimed to rank 11 countries under four headings.
