Özet:

Since their independence, the importance of Central Asian Turk Republics in the perspective of international transportation and logistics operations in addition to global trade has been increasing. Especially, in addition to being a country of transit, each of them tries to be hub countries in international trade thanks to investments, which were made in the fields of transportation and logistics by themselves. At the same time, while the import volume of these countries is shown an increase depending on their national incomes. As well as the range of products that subject to the export, the total revenue of countries is also increased day by day. In order to be important actors in international trade, they should be aware of their productivity, effectiveness, and performance and should be based on their decisions on these factors. Therefore, it is needed a methodology and model, which suggests a systematic and structural solution way in order to evaluate the performance of the Republics of Central Asia in the fields of logistics and transportation. In this study, a hybrid model, which consists of integrated entropy and EATWOS methods is proposed in order to analyze the logistical effectiveness of these countries. While the selected model can provide the calculation of the logistic performance scores of countries and it provides an opportunity of comparison of logistics effectiveness and performance of these countries by focusing on the output and input factors.
