Aykac, Yunus Emre; Yucesan, Melih; Gul, Muhammet
Solar energy stands out with its increasing potential in the world. The decision to choose the location of a solar power plant is very important due to the investment return. In this study, a solar power plant site selection for Tunceli, Turkey is studied with a two-stage multi-criteria decision-making approach. In the first stage, the importance levels of the determined nine factors are obtained by the best-worst method (BWM). In the second stage, the most appropriate site is selected among the eight districts of Tunceli. As a result of the first stage, solar and fault line emerged as the most and least important factor, respectively. The second stage showed that Pertek district is the most suitable place. A comparative framework has been created including five different MCDM methods, which strengthens the final decision's accuracy and reveals whether each method's results are correlated.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2019Scopus SJRQ1Measuring development levels of NUTS-2 regions in Turkey based on capabilities approach and multi-criteria decision-making
Ozdemir, Yasal; Gul, Muhammet
Regional development seeks to better understand the issues and problems facing the regions because of the contemporary economic and social changes, including the formulation of territorial policies accordingly. In Turkey, in order to coordinate regional development, 26 regional development agencies were founded relating to the nomenclature of territorial units for statistics-2 (NUTS-2) regions. Since these regions have different development levels, it is useful for stakeholders to determine performance measures related to the regional development and propose a ranking model among these regions to provide a balance in delivering financial support mechanisms. Therefore, in this study, an iterative multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model is proposed. Firstly, Pythagorean Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (PFAHP) is used to assign weights to indicators of well-being index for provinces (WiP) in Turkey. Then, a TODIM (an acronym in Portuguese of interactive and multiple attribute decision making) based ranking model for 26 regions was applied. Also, this model takes capabilities and well-being approach into account differently from traditional utilitarian development models which take only some macro-economic and financial parameters. In order to do this, the model uses data from WiP. On conclusion, a comparative ranking projection with two other MCDM methods and WiP is provided and an effective and broader point of view was gained by the regional development performance measuring model.
