Özet:

 

Üniversiteler bulundukları bölgelerin eğitim ve öğretim ihtiyacını karşılamakla beraber, kuruldukları yerlerin ekonomik olarak kalkınmasını da sağlamaktadırlar. Bu anlamda üniversiteler, kuruldukları ve henüz gelişmesini tamamlamamış olan şehirlerin ekonomilerinde özellikle hizmet sektörünün gelişmesine, doğrudan ve dolaylı katkılar sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada Kilis 7 Aralık Üniversitesi’nde öğrenim gören öğrenciler üzerinde uygulanan ankete göre elde edilen veriler SPSS istatistik programı ile analiz edilmiş ve yorumlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda, 417 öğrencinin katılımı ile yapılan ankette aylık toplam gelir 456 TL, aylık toplam gider ise 414 TL olarak belirlenmiştir. Yaklaşık 6000 öğrencinin bu harcama miktarı ile yıllık yaptığı harcama yaklaşık 29.808.000 TL’dir. Bu anlamda, öğrencilerin şehir ekonomisine göz ardı edilemeyecek bir katkısının olduğu söylenebilir.

 agricultural activities can be seen in the southeast and the border line. However, border
 trade plays a crucial role for the city. After the establishment of the university in 2007,
 there can be seen intensive service sector activities. Kilis 7 Aralık University has 5
 faculties, 2 academies, 2 vocational school and 2 institutes with 6000 students by the end
 of 2011-2012 academic year.
 In national and international literature, there are various studies regarding to the
 economic effects of universities to the cities where they established. However, this study
 is important due to the reason that there is no such study at all for Kilis City. In this
 context, when considering the studies in literature, it was revealed that students’ expenses
 compose a significant resource for cities. According to these studies, the great portions of
 the students’ expenses are covered by sheltering, food, clothing, entertainment and foodbeverages
 with the order of presence.
 The aim of this study is to determine the economic effect of the students in Kilis 7
 Aralık University to the Kilis City and to the region. It was tried to measure the
 contribution of students to the economy by determining students’ expenses through
 various expense items. The economic structure of the city is changing because the
 university in the city is newly established and the number of the students is increasing day
 by day. The survey used in the study includes questions which try to determine the
 demographic features of the students as well as intend to understand the amount of
 expenses which students made in various areas. The convenience sampling method was
 used in the selection of the student sample which represents the population. The students
 which represent the population restricted with only Kilis 7 Aralık University students. The

 in average. 95,9% of students do not work. Second group of questions collects the
 information about the income and expenditure of students. A typical student assumed to
 have three sources of income. These are pocket money from family, credit and

 has 750 TL monthly pocket money from family, 850 TL from credit and scholarships and
 400 TL salary at maximum. Expenditures in Kilis city are grouped into two categories as

 The study which analyses the effect of Kilis 7 Aralık University to the city economy
 is important due to the students’ spending items. According to the study results, it was
 found that the monthly average spending of a student in Kilis 7 Aralık University is
 approximately 456 TL. On the other hand, the yearly total contribution of students’
 spending to the Kilis city economy is approximately 29.808.000 TL. However, the limited
 opportunities of the city and the inadequate level of income of some students restrain the
 spending opportunities and the economic contribution to the city. On the other hand, it
 should not be underestimated that the calculated amount may create a velocity to the
 economic development of the city. In this context, some recommendations can be made
 regarding to the role that universities play in the development and improvement of the
 cities. Thus, universities should be aware of their roles in accordance with creating a
 better and more knowledgeable economic infrastructure of the city by enabling the
 university-industry cooperation. Furthermore, they also should be aware of their roles to
 contribute the city economy by strengthening the students’ knowledge and skills with a
 more permanent way to the city economy. In this sense, some roles of universities come
 into prominence such as being in a struggle for bringing together the global dynamics
 with the cities’ resource, pioneering the social, cultural and economic potential of the city,
 creating a synergy in order to develop the city entirely, being a resource and prosecutor
 for projects which creates awareness in city. On the other hand, the city also must be in a
 state of understanding and make effort to create adequate infrastructure such as physical,
 economic, social and cultural as well as considering the university’s mission and vision
 with regard to the city dynamics.
