Abstract:

 The iron and steel sector, which is the mainstay of industry in developed and developing countries, is among the priority areas that need to be established or developed by countries. This is also the case for Turkey, which has placed industrialization as the goal of its economic development. Therefore, this study seeks to answer the questions of what are Turkeys priority import products in the iron and steel sector and how iron and steel imports are shaped according to the production structure of Turkeys iron and steel sector. The study considers the import values of eleven products classified according to the SITC codes that are subject to Turkeys iron and steel imports for the period 1980-2022. The data collected during the period under consideration are grouped by cluster analysis, which is one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods. It has been found that the highest import value of Turkeys iron and steel imports belongs to iron and steel scrap and scraps and their ingots. Scraps and wastes, which were considered as useless before the industry, are considered to have economic added value with increasing consumption and production.

 Gelişmiş veya gelişmekte olan ülkelerde sanayinin temel dayanağı olan demir çelik sektörü, ülkeler tarafından kurulması veya geliştirilmesi gerekli öncelikli alanlar arasında yer almaktadır. Bu durum, ekonomik kalkınmasının hedefine sanayileşmeyi yerleştiren Türkiye için de geçerlidir. Bu nedenle çalışma, Türkiyenin demir çelik sektöründe öncelikli ithalat ürünleri nelerdir ve Türkiyenin demir çelik sektörü üretim yapısına göre demir çelik ithalatı nasıl şekillenmektedir, sorularına yanıt aramaktadır. Çalışma, Türkiyenin demir çelik ithalatına konu olan Standart Uluslararası Ticaret Sınıflandırması kodlarına göre sınıflandırılmış on bir ürünün 1980-2022 dönemi ithalat değerlerini dikkate almaktadır. Ele alınan dönem içerisinde derlenen veriler çok kriterli karar verme yöntemlerinden olan kümeleme analizine dahil edilerek gruplandırılmıştır. Türkiyenin demir çelik ithalatında yüksek ithalat değeri demir çelik döküntü ve hurdaları, bunların külçeleri ürünlerine ait olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Endüstri öncesi faydasız olarak değerlendirilen hurda ve atıkların da artan tüketim ve üretim ile ekonomik katma değere sahip oldukları değerlendirilmektedir.
