Analysis of relations with members of Antalya province fisheries cooperatives

Producer organizations, which are structures that are also accepted as the development criteria of countries nowadays, are established to provide social and economic needs of their members. Because the organizations are multi-purpose, they are preferred by producers as they undertake many tasks from regulating fisheries market to protecting rights of producers and from providing training services related to production and sales to meeting the needs. For this reason, in this research, face-to-face surveys were conducted with 75 members of 14 active fisheries cooperatives in Antalya. The survey application period, which is research’s data collection phase, was planned as fishing season and occur between November 2017 and March 2018. In the study, sample size of fisheries cooperative members was determined by simple random sampling and factor analysis method, one of the multivariate statistical analyzes, was used to determine the factors forming relationship between cooperatives and members. According to research results; although the main reason why to participate in cooperatives is aim of obtaining economic and technical support, activities of cooperatives are considered insufficient by members. Conversely, though sufficient support is not given, conditions are limited, and success is not achieved as much as expected, efforts to stand and increasing memberships of cooperatives is considered as a positive result in terms of fisherman organisation in Antalya.
