Abstract

The aim of this study is to calculate the environmental performance of the Level-2 regions spanning the period between 2009 and 2020, and make policy recommendations in line with relevant findings. Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods are applied for this evaluation, in which total electricity consumption per capita and number of ventures in agriculture, forestry, fishery and water supply are used as indicators. Initially, the weights of the aforementioned criteria are calculated via the Entropy method, one of the MCDM techniques. Then, the environmental performance ranking of the Level-2 Region is derived through the ARAS method. Findings show that the criterion with the highest weight is electricity consumption per capita, whereas the one with the lowest weight is water supply. In addition, ARAS method posit that while TR10 (Istanbul) performs the best among the sample, TR81 (Zonguldak, Karabük, Bartın) ranks last.
