Çankırı İlinde İdari Bölünüşün Temel Bileşen Analizi (TBA) ile Yeniden Düzenlenmesi

Abstract

Some of the existing districts of Çankırı cause waste of public resources as the reasons for their establishment have lost their validity. In order to use public resources in accordance with the economy of scale, criteria have been developed to measure the performance of districts. With the criteria developed in this context, the evaluation of the existing districts was made by applying the PCA method. Districts with low and high score values were determined as a result of PCA. By applying the Thiessen Polygon method with the ArcGis program, equidistant impact areas of the districts with high scores were determined. In this way, it has been determined how to combine low-scoring districts with high-scoring districts. Suggestions have been made for the unification of the villages, whose population has decreased considerably and which are very close to each other. These suggestions were made considering the minimum population limit of 150 people and the maximum distance of 10 km between settlements. As of 2021, Çankırı has 12 district administrative areas, three towns, and 371 village administrative areas. According to the research findings, the province should consist of 178 administrative units, including five districts, 10 towns, and 163 villages. This division was considered to be appropriate for the public interest.
