Son yıllarda refah değerlendirmesine olan ilginin artması, bölgesel ve ulusal düzeyde refahın ölçülmesinde çok çeşitli istatistiksel ve optimizasyon tekniklerinin kullanılmasını sağlamıştır. Bu çalışmada, gri ilişkisel analizini (GRA) entropy formülü ile birleştiren metodolojik bir yaklaşım kullanılarak, 34 OECD ülkesinin refah düzeyi skorlarının hesaplanması amaçlanmıştır. Refah ölçümü OECD'nin iki boyutlu çerçevesi göz önüne alınarak incelenmiştir. Bu boyutlardan ilki olan yaşam kalitesi boyutu sağlık durumu, iş - yaşam dengesi, eğitim - beceriler, sosyal bağlantılar, sivil katılım - yönetişim, çevresel kalite, kişisel güvenlik, öznel refah gibi göstergeleri ile incelenmektedir. Diğer boyut olan fiziki durum ise gelir - servet, iş - kazanç ve barınma göstergelerini kapsamaktadır. OECD Bölgesel Refah Veri tabanından toplanan, yaşam kalitesi ve fiziki duruma ilişkin göstergeler 15 yıllık dönem (2000-2014) içerisindeki en güncel verilerden oluşmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, İzlanda, Avustralya, Norveç ve İsviçre'nin en yüksek refah seviyesine ulaştığı tespit edilmiştir. Sıralamanın diğer ucunda yer alan Macaristan, Yunanistan, Türkiye ve Meksika’nın ise nispeten daha düşük refah seviyesine sahip oldukları gözlenmiştir.
There has been growing interest in the assessment of well-being in recent years and a wide range of statistical and optimization techniques have been used to measure well-being at regional and national level. This paper aims to computing the well-being scores of 34 OECD countries, using a methodological approach that combines grey relative analysis (GRA) with entropy formula. The measurement of the well-being process was examined by considering the two-dimensional framework of the OECD. The dimension of quality of life is examined by the indicators such as health status, work - life balance, education - skills, social connections, civic engagement - governance, environmental quality, personal security, subjective well-being. And the dimension of material living and conditions covers income - wealth, jobs - earnings and housing indicators. The data were collected from the OECD Regional Well-Being Database. The data used in this study refer to the last available year in 15-year period (2000-2014), belonging to various quality of life and material conditions. Consequently, it was revealed that Iceland, Australia, Norway and Switzerland have achieved the highest level of well-being. At the other end of ranking, Hungary, Greece, Turkey, and Mexico have been observed to have relatively lowest well-being level.
