The Evaluation of The Development Agency Regions In Turkey In Terms of Some Socioeconomic Indicator with Factor Analysis

The actual aim of this paper is to update the periodic studies on defining social-economic development levels of cities in Turkey according to established development agencies. It is believed that considering the development agencies as a one administrative authority would define levels of developments of regions better than considering the cities one by one as an individual. For doing this total values of development agencies of considered regions are found in the manner of their leading socioeconomic indicators and then development agencies regions will be interpreted by using Factor Analysis.
