Abstract:
One of the most important features arisen
by globalization is the fact that all world countries
get into a process to affect each other voluntarily or
involuntarily. During this process, differences between
countries are revealed more clearly and developed
countries cannot remain insensitive to the problems
of developing countries. At this point, development
aids through which inequalities between countries
can be, even partially, removed and the impact of
existing problems on other countries can be decreased
are important for receiver and donor countries. This
research aims to determine the changes resulted
from development aids by years with the use of data
obtained from Turkish Cooperation and Coordination
Agency (TIKA) related to development aids made
between 2005-2012. The dataset obtained from TIKA
was analyzed in Excel program. Within scope of the
analysis, frequency and descriptive tables were used.
At the end of the research, it was found that total
development aids tend to raise in Turkey and the biggest
share among the total development aids of 2012
belongs to official stream. In addition, it was found
that official development aids raised 97% compared
to the previous year; social aids exceeded 16 billion
dollars in 2012 and the countries to which the most
aids have been sent are Afghanistan and Syria.
