THE CREATIVITY FUNCTION OF PROVINCES: AN ASSESSMENT FOR THE PROVINCES OF TURKEY

Creative provinces are largely composed of people who are able to make free decisions, have a high level of education, and are engaged in solving quite complex problems. In this study, Florida et al. (2008) using the "Global Creativity Index" developed by him, the creativity level of the provinces of Turkey was calculated and the results were evaluated with a spatial focus. According to the creativity index, the most creative province of Turkey is Kocaeli. Kocaeli is followed by Ankara and Isparta. The provinces with the lowest Creativity value are Hakkâri, Şırnak and Mardin. It is seen that the nearby provinces of Ankara, Kocaeli and Istanbul, which have high creativity index values, also have high values. Although it is observed that important steps have been taken in the field of creative provinces in Turkey, it is thought that a much faster path can be taken in the coordination of a more organized superstructure.
