Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to identify the factors affecting the performance of small- and medium-scale municipalities. The survey was conducted with a sample of 241 municipalities via questionnaire and data collection. Fiscal data pertaining to municipalities were provided from State Planning Organization. These data were analyzed by using six indicators. Data obtained from questionnaires were analyzed via 40 indicators that show municipalities' perception level, technological advanced level and service categories. At the end of the analysis, municipalities were ranked according to their performance levels. Then these results were analyzed via the SPSS program. The survey findings revealed that, municipality scales, municipalities' technological opportunities, their efforts and determination for increasing performance, and the administrators' belief in ensuring performance measurement were influential on municipalities 'performance.

Özet

Özet: Bu çalışma, küçük ve orta ölçekli belediyelerin performanslarını etkileyen faktörleri belirlemeye yöneliktir. Araştırma, 241 belediyeye anket uygulanması ve belediyeler hakkında gerekli istatistiki verilerin toplanması ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Belediyeler hakkındaki mali veriler, Devlet Planlama Teşkilatı 'ndan (DPT) elde edilmiş ve toplam 6 gösterge ile değerleme yapılmıştır. Anketten elde edilen veriler ise puanlanarak; belediyelerin performansı algılama düzeyleri, bilişim ve teknolojik yönden mevcut durumları ve hizmet kategorileri olmak üzere 40 gösterge geliştirilmiştir. Yapılan analiz sonucunda, belediyeler performans açısından başarı sıralamasına tabi tutulmuş ve sonuçlar SPSS programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçta; belediye ölçeği, teknolojik donanım, performansı sağlama yönündeki çaba ve kararlılık ile yerel yöneticilerin performans ölçümünü sağlama yönündeki inançları gibi unsurların etkili olduğu saptanmıştır.
