| Title : | THE CONCENTRATION ANALYSIS OF AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN TURKEY: ARE THERE ANY CHANGES IN THE PERIOD 2010 - 2015? |
| Abstract : | Despite the regional policies taken into agenda in all development plans in Turkey, inter-regional imbalances could not be resolved. Dynamics of the region must be examined in detail to resolve the inter-regional imbalance problems and in the light of these data differing policies should be developed in each specific region. Thus, detailed studies are needed on basis of regions and provinces. It is critically important to establish the priorities in agro-food production for utilizing the resources effectively and for competing against others like in Turkey whose agro-food sector is relatively dominant both in terms of population and employment. Therefore, it is aimed to determine the sectorial priorities in agriculture for using geographic concentration coefficient analysis in agricultural sub-sectors in Turkey.Inthiscontext, considering the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) - Level 2 (26 regions), the weight of employment structure of rural areas in Turkey will be analyzed for each region. Location coefficients will be calculated for each sector by comparing the population that is living in rural areas and working in agricultural, industrial and service sectors,with sector values of Turkey’s rural areas. Later,agricultural sector will be analyzed on the basis of sub-sector for Level 2 regions. These analyses will be done for both 2010 and 2015 to compare the differences during this period. The reason of these diversities between mentioned time periods will be clarified by utilizing the agricultural policy applications in Turkey. |
