    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The banking sector is one of the most important factor in terms of  economic development for a country. Powerful and healthy banking sector  is accepted as a precondition for sustainable economic growth. One of the  most significant features of firms that survive in a competition  environment is able to measure their performance periodically, develop  available reactions and proactive solutions by evaluating the results. The  purpose of this paper is to measure and compare of 10 bank’s financial  performance with ELECTRE method for the period of 2005-2011 that  traded İstanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) shares. Because of banks’ financial  performance are effected lots of factors, too many criteria need to be  considered for measuring them. So, in this paper, we use profitability,  liquidity, leverage ratios and asset quality to measure. As a result, Finans  bank takes place first and Şeker Bank gets last related to financial  performance among the others  Keywords: Electre Method, Financial Performance, Banking.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Optimization Models Performances for Transportation  Cost Minimization]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Transportation is the foremost activity at every stage of logistics (supply,  production and distribution stages). It constitutes the huge part of logistics,  because of its relative size in total logistics costs. That might be different  sector by sector but the rate of the transportation in all logistics activities is  approximately around 50-65 percent. Transportation is a term which can  be defined as the physical movement of inventories such as raw materials,  semi-finished goods and finished goods from one location to another.  Shipping of products into firm storage after they have bought from  suppliers, carrying of the storage items to manufacturing, and delivery of  the manufactured items to warehouses or dealers to be sold, and delivery  of the sold products to customers are some sub-activities of  transportation. In order to achieve transportation with minimal cost, first  of all the optimal transportation alternatives should be implied. In the  literature there are many researches which confirm this statement. But the  applied technique for decision problem is as important as transportation  alternatives. For determining of optimal solution there are certain models.  This study aims that to compare of those models performances on a real  case hypothetically. Employed models are integer linear programming;  goal programming and fuzzy-logic based linear programming.  Keywords: Logistic Activities, Transportation Costs, Optimization.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Different Banking Methods and the Developing in the  Turkish Finance Market-Turkish Participation Banking  For 2007-2012]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Financial systems and institutions has become the most important reason  in the fragility of world economic system. The formation and development  process of the financial structure also constitutes the infrastructure of the  world economic system. The course of the financial system and  development has led to debate with the financial crisis in 2008-2011. One  of the discussion topics in order to eliminate problems caused by the  conventional banking system is alternative financing systems. In Turkey,  the corporations based on profit share system which are named  participation based banking spotlight, if the alternative banking systems  are considered. These banks which determine different principles in the  risk distribution of the portfolio acquired are analyzed more nowadays.  Participation based banks are placed in almost every regulation related to  banking terms and get their legal infrastructure more stable in the banking  legislation of Turkey.  This study is a 2007-2012 part of research series. We try to find out the  place and the importance of participation based banking with the various  sub-headings especially in Turkey. We examine the comparative review  2007-2012 data of participation banks which Collected Turkish Currency  and Foreign Currency Funds, Bank Loan Funds, Total Assets, Equity and Net  Profit figures for the four participation banks in Turkey. We are comparing  the total figures with deposit banks for the same period.  One of our primary goals in this essay, to study in the framework of the  alternatives of the financial institutions and options. These options could  be asserted as a vibrant and viable well established choice as a nonwestern  model- different from the classical western interest based  dominant banking system in the globe. Moreover, that participation  banking systems’ grow and increase with its resourceful bulk of  transactions and shares within the financial market. In addition, we  intended to delineate the basic functioning structures, rules, norms,  principles, procedures, operations of that alternate banking system in the  financial market.After that, we have applied as a descriptive, explanatory, discursive and  comparative analytic methodology to expound the matter in detail. Having  gathered literature reviews then we have concentrated on Turkey as a  model state in that banking system practice; at which, what kind of  instruments and tools used by referring basic indicators, data and  information related to the growth, flourish and share of that sector within  the total banking and financial system in Turkey.  Furthermore, that participation banking system positions, researched in  the country. Thus, it is explicated more concerns on by investigating its  credits, deposits, financing formulation systems and commitments with  the banks, customers and investors of the alternate banking system in the  country’s financial order. At last, we have attempted to clarify and  summarize the concepts, definitions, expositions, demonstrations, rules,  assets, liabilities, equities etc.. by giving special cultural internalizations  about the organizational and operational activities of the participation  banks both similarities and discrepancies, too; so as to draw the attentions  of the new researchers and studies in that situation.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Fiscal Impacts of Privatization in Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[There are many reasons for that privatization is an attractive application  for most of the countries. Since 1980s, fundamental problems that  developed and developing countries meet such as economic stagnation,  high public deficit, high borrowing cost, high inflation and high burden of  tax are forced the countries to find alternative sources of income. In this  regard, privatization applications have become an important policy which  aims economical, fiscal, political, and social purposes for many countries.  On the one hand, privatization incomes obtained from the selling of public  enterprises can become a solution to the permanent deficit of public  sector. On the other hand, these incomes can be used in the financing of  larger deficits arouse because of cyclical reasons. It can be said that it is  aimed business activities under private ownership are expected to increase  and in addition to this, the reasons of public finance gain importance,  public sector decreases and additional sources to increasing public  expenditures are formed by using the incomes from the privatization. The  proliferation of privatization works around the world has started with Chile  and England after 1980s. And because USSR system collapsed and these  countries entered to free market system based on private property,  privatization increased in these countries. In Turkey, legal infrastructure  works concerning privatization have started in the middle of 1980s, but the  increase in privatization works has accelerated after 2004.  In this study, fiscal impacts of income obtained from the privatization  applications in Turkey between 1986 and 2012 are examined. The  fundamental hypothesis of this study is whether or not privatization has a  detractive effect on budget deficits and public sector borrowing  requirement as a tool. To test this hypothesis, two different models estimated has been developed by linking incomes from privatization and  some macroeconomic variables with budget deficit, public sector  borrowing requirement and public debt stock. In this study, the effect of  privatization incomes in turkey on budget deficits and public sector  borrowing requirement has been analysed on the basis of ordinary least  square method. The discovery of the analysis showed that between 1986-  2012 privatization incomes in Turkey increased budget deficits and  increased public sector borrowing requirement. According to the result, it  can be expressed that privatization, as a tool which reduces budget deficits  does not satisfy the expectations, but because of its reducing effect on  public sector borrowing requirement, privatization has a positive effect on  public finance.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Audit Qualifications in Turkish Listed Firms]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to provide some evidence on the effects of  some auditor-related, firm specific and legal factors on issuance of  modified audit opinions. The study covers Turkish firms listed in İstanbul  Stock Exchange. The audit opinions given during the periods between 2003  and 2011 were analyzed. The period selected can be defined as a transition  period for accounting and auditing in Turkey.  In the literature there are some studies on the factors affecting audit  opinions. Those factors comprised both financial and non-financial data.  However, besides those factors, especially in developing countries changes  in accounting and auditing regulations may be a significant factor on audit  opinions.  Changes in regulations related to accounting and auditing by Turkish  regulatory bodies is believed to increase the quality of accounting  information and auditing. However, every change in regulation creates  some problems in application. This transition period serves an opportunity  for the researchers to analyze possible effects of the transition on audit  reports. In this study relationships between these changes and audit  opinions are searched.  In Turkey statutory audit is required only a small number of companies.  Most of these companies are required to Turkish Capital Market Law  (TCML). However, only the financial statements and audit opinions of the  firms that are listed on the ISE are available to the public, and thus the  researchers. Because of this constraint the studies are generally limited to  the ISE firms. The data were collected from the audited financial  statements and their accompanying notes including the audit reports.  Those statements were uploaded from the website of the İstanbul Stock  Exchange.  In the study some debt, profitability, liquidity ratios and firms size used as  firms specific characteristics. Audit firm size and changes in accounting and  auditing standards are also used in the analysis.  The process of audit opinion formation is a complex procedure. There are  many factors, many of those limited in the working papers of auditors,affecting audit formation. Thus understanding some significant public  available factors affecting modified audit opinions would be a significant  mean for crediting auditors’ opinions. It is aimed to form a model based on  some firm and auditor specific characteristics to explain modified audit  opinions given in Turkish capital market. The model would serve audit  report readers in realizing the potential factors influential on the opinions  given, and estimating the a priori audit opinion.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Determination of Cultural Characteristics of Hunters in  İstanbul Province to Hunting and Wildlife Management  (İstanbul Province Case)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Turkey has a rather important potential from the point of view of wildlife  resources which includes both species diversity and sheltering capacity. On the  other hand, wildlife in Turkey has been endangered since wilderness  ecosystem and habitats have been damaged and managed badly. There is a  rather important role of hunters in this process.  Hunting, which means catching of either living or lifeless animals that live  freely in the nature, has attracted attention of mankind almost in every term.  Hunting has been accepted as an important activity also today as well as in the  past. It is not a realistic approach considering the hunting passion which comes  to today with the traces from the past as nothing. Today, hunters have become  a guaranty of biodiversity and wilderness by getting an environmentalist  status.  As increasing economic and social welfare, first of all demands of hunters and  demands of stakeholders from wildlife sector are getting increased by varying.  In this context, it is obligatory to develop and reach a rationalist management  of wildlife potential that promises a great future of Turkey. In Turkey, lawful regulations were made in 2003 with act of 4915 to solve  problems of wildlife management. Wildlife management in Turkey still live a  transition period, problems are going on because new laws and its  implementations have not yet established. Among these problems, illegal  hunting, uneducated hunters, lack of hunter controlling have important place;  basic problems are social, cultural, economic and lack of scientific structure.  Associations, institutions and enterprises attach importance for knowing  cultural elements and factors that affect them. It has been use an active  instrument to convey cultural data and to reach aims. In this context,  researches that determine human structure and cultural sensitiveness fields in  the management of wildlife resources are very important.  There have been seen some researches which related to determine of hunter  profile since 2002. But, there are too few studies to determine cultural  characteristics of hunters. In this context, it is needed some studies for hunter  culture as related to management activities.  This research project includes hunting clubs and their members in İstanbul. For  this aim, according to sample size, there will be reached primary data using  questionnaire method which is prepared for hunters. Some data based on  literature research constitute secondary data of research.  In this research, questionnaire, called the hunter form, will be developed.  Hunter Form; cultural elements of hunters, profile of hunters and level of  importance on the issue of hunters were determined. Nine-point Likert Scale  was used in some questions to determine hunters’ thinking on the issue. The  hunter form is designed in two parts. The first part is related to the  demographic characteristics of hunters. The second section means detection  levels of the components of the culture of hunters.  In this research project, values forming culture of hunters were investigated in  context of leaders and heroes, ceremony and symbols, story and legends,  language, customs, norms and organizational socialization. Results of research  project will be used as basic data in controlling and training of hunters,  providing coordination and planning and sources.  Data obtained from the hunters were evaluated using frequency, percentage,  chi-square test, and Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance. In this  context, there were benefited from SPSS program and others.  Keywords: Hunting, Hunting Culture, Hunting and Wildlife Management,  İstanbul.]]></dcterms:abstract>
