Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the criteria used in the evaluation of renewable energy resources with the extremely high strategic importance that Turkey has and to find their degree of importance. For this purpose, an application has been made to find which criteria come to the fore and the weights of these criteria in order to evaluate Turkey's renewable energy resources. Five main criteria (technical, economic, environmental, social, and political) and a total of 22 sub-criteria related to these criteria were included in the scope of the study. Fuzzy SWARA method, one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods, has been used in the study. According to the results of the analysis, the most important criterion among the main criteria was “environmental criteria.” As a result, it has shown the importance of the priority criteria for Turkey and environmental evaluation criteria, which are important for the common future of humanity in parallel with the results in the world.
