“…Hence, they are not considered importance coefficients. It could cause misunderstandings if AHP weights were to be interpreted as importance coefficients [152]. In that work, the sustainability manufacturing index is simply the weighted average of three indicators.…”

Abstract:Recently the circular economy has increasingly received attention worldwide due to the recognition that the security of the supply of resources and environmental sustainability are crucial for the prosperity of all the countries and businesses. G20 countries are stimulating the development of frameworks that enhance the circular economy and generally more sustainable production and consumption modes. In this context, this paper aims to suggest an index to assess the sustainability and the circularity of manufacturing companies. With this tenet, a Sustainable Circular Index (SCI) is proposed based on a five-phase framework. This index could support managers in assessing their level of sustainability and circularity and in implementing some practices that could improve the performances of their companies regarding these two topics. This index represents an important benchmarking tool for manufacturing companies to assess their sustainable and circular behavior and represents a guideline for managers.

“…In this approach the secondary data are used for indicator definition and is depended to the different statistics of the city in some extend. Objective urban QOL studies typically include many objective characteristics of the urban environment, often combining or weighting objective indicators to generate an objective urban QOL ranking for places [2,3,6,43,48,50] . Studies on subjective urban QOL have found that subjective evaluations of many aspects of the urban environment can contribute to satisfaction in urban domains and overall life satisfaction [30,33,45,46,49] .…”

Problem Statement: Researches of quality of life are concentrated mainly on the urban nature in the recent years and the urban quality of life gained many attentions in empirical studies. The concept of urban quality of life is a multi-dimensional and complex issue. So, needless to say that this concept can be used in planning when there is an appropriate and reliable framework for measuring. Approach: The present study tried to create a framework on the base of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for objective measuring of urban quality of life and then it would be applied for a comparative study of two northern cities of Iran. Results: The results showed that using analytic hierarchy process model creates opportunity to involving the different groups' views of urban users with respect to their duties and functions in the stage of criteria weighting. Conclusion: This process not only provided an appropriate bed for objective measuring of urban quality of life but it facilitated the participation of urban authorities in the process of measuring and analyzing the urban quality. Also one of the advantages of the model was its high level of clarity and simplicity which could be perceived by all urban decision makers. Key words:Objective Urban Quality of Life (UQOL), Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), measuring, comparative study INTRUDUCTIONResearchers from a variety of disciplines have studied Quality Of Life (QOL) since the 1930s [53] . They tried to identify the components of QOL and compared various geographical areas such as cities, states and nations by means of QOL indices that they developed [2,3,25,48,47] . In addition to the researchers, international organizations such as UNDP [51] developed its own measures for QOL. The desire to improve the quality of life in a particular place or for a particular person or group is an important focus of attention for planners [28] . An important reason for such an interest in QOL lies in the question of effective allocation of scarce resources [32] . In fact improvement of life quality in each society is one of the important aims of public policies. In recent years studies of life quality have mainly concentrated on the urban nature and urban quality of life gained much attention among the researchers. Clearly the increase of urban population and the increasing tendency for living in the city is one of the main incentives to expand an independent movement on life quality researches.The urban QOL concept gains more importance when it is considered that the world population is expected to reach somewhere between 7.6-9.4 billion [22] and the urban population is expected to reach 50% [47] in the beginning of the next century. The multi-dimensional character and evolutional nature of quality of life led to different interpretations which made the investigation difficult. So the recent research on the quality of life emphasis on the quality of measuring this concept in the cities. Clark and Kahn [7] used a two-stage hedonic approach to estimate willingness to pay fo...

“…2000 sonrası konut memnuniyetine ilişkin ulusal literatür incelendiğinde çalışmaların toplu konut alanlarında beklentilerin karşılanması [3,4], gecekondu alanlarında konut memnuniyeti [5], kapalı konut sitelerinde kullanıcı memnuniyeti [6,7] ve konut alanlarında yaşam kalitesinin yüksekliği [8,9] konularına odaklandığı gözlemlenmektedir. Genellikle metropoliten kentlerde yoğunlaşan çalışmalarda son dönemde artan kentsel dönüşüm uygulamaları ile birlikte [10,11], dönüşüm sonrası memnuniyet [12] ve afet konutlarından memnuniyet [13] gibi konular da araştırmalarda yer almaktadır. Konut ve çevresel kalite memnuniyetini; kolay erişilebilirlik, çevresel kalite değişkenleri, çevrenin güvenliği, komşuluk ilişkileri, konut çevresi görünümü ve ekonomik değer ile ilgili faktör grupları ile birlikte değerlendiren [14] ölçüt odaklı çalışmaların yanı sıra memnuniyeti kentsel sistem üzerindeki etkisi ile birlikte değerlendiren incelemelerde giderek artmaktadır [15,16].…”

:Konut memnuniyeti araştırmalarında genellikle anket uygulaması ve sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesine odaklanan çalışmaların varlığı dikkat çekmektedir. Ancak ankete dayalı bu çalışmaların mekânsal karşılıklarına yönelik modelleme eksikliği nedeni ile planlamada karar verme süreçlerine yönlendirici bir katkı sağlanamamaktadır. Bu çalışmada bulanık çok kriterli karar verme yöntemleri (Bulanık DEMATEL+Bulanık TOPSIS) kullanılarak, iki farklı TOKİ toplu konut bölgesinde konut memnuniyetinin değerlendirilmesine yönelik bir model oluşturulmuştur. Toplu konut bölgeleri arasındaki memnuniyeti etkileyen faktörler ve mekânsal karşılıklarına yönelik bulanık bir değerlendirme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar ile her iki toplu konut bölgesi için geoistatistik analiz tabanlı ve Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemi (CBS) destekli karşılaştırılabilir konut memnuniyeti haritası oluşturulmuştur. Plan, tipoloji ve tasarım yaklaşımları aynı olan iki TOKİ bölgesinden Yenidoğan TOKİ bölgesinde konutlardan memnuniyet oranının %60 gibi yüksek bir oranda olduğu, buna karşılık İldem TOKİ bölgesinde ise memnuniyetin son derece düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda konut memnuniyet düzeyindeki farklılığın temelde alanın yer seçimi üzerine odaklandığı, kent merkezi ile kurulan ilişkinin, ulaşım bağlantılarının güçlü etkenler olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. In housing satisfaction research, studies that focus on the evaluation of surveying and its results draw much attention. However, a guiding contribution cannot be made to the decision-making processes in planning due to the lack of modelling for the spatial provisions of these survey-based studies. This study was conducted using two multi-criteria decision-making methods (Fuzzy DEMATEL+ Fuzzy TOPSIS), and a model was created for the evaluation of housing satisfaction in two different TOKI housing estates. A fuzzy examination was carried out on the factors that affect satisfaction with the housing estates and their spatial provisions. A comparable housing satisfaction map based on a geostatistical analysis and supported with Geographic Information System was created for both housing estates using the obtained results. The planning, typology and design approaches of both TOKI housing estates are the same, but the level of the satisfaction with the houses in the Yenidoğan TOKI housing estate was found to be as high as 60%, while the level of satisfaction with the Ildem TOKI housing estate was found to be extremely low. The study concluded that this difference derived from site selection, and that relationships with the city centre and transportation corridors were determinant factors.
