Özet:

 This study examines how public expenditures and investments made by the state affect regional development and economic growth in underdeveloped regions such as Ağrı province, located on the Iranian border of Turkey. Within the scope of the study, the period of the Democratic Party government was chosen to analyze public expenditures and investments in Ağrı. This period represents a time when regional development policies and important decisions were taken for the economic development of the region. Various policy changes and reforms were realized in Turkey during the Democrat Party period. Many infrastructure projects, such as roads, bridges, dams, and schools, were realized during this period. During the Democrat Party rule, it is tried to reveal quantitatively that expenditures and investments were made in Ağrı in the fields of public order, public works, education, culture, health, agriculture, and animal husbandry, and it is also emphasized in which areas the resources were concentrated in the development process. In some years, investment requests were made from the ministries in line with the requests of the heads of the institutions. Most of the time, expenditure and investment requests were made by the citys deputies and institutions, as reflected in archival records and local newspapers. The ability of modern states to collect taxes and make public investments plays a critical role in improving the welfare of society and providing public services. Through these investments, the bond between the state and the people is strengthened, which can contribute to the overall development of a society. Our study is based on data from the Presidential Republican Archives, the Turkish Statistical Institute TUİK, and local and national media sources. We focused on these sources as they are considered to be important sources of information used for information gathering and analysis in various disciplines.

 Bu çalışma, Türkiyenin İran sınırında yer alan Ağrı ili gibi az gelişmiş bölgelerde devlet tarafından gerçekleştirilen kamu harcamaları ve yatırımlarının, bölgesel kalkınma ve ekonomik büyümeyi nasıl etkilediği ele alınmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında Ağrıya gerçekleştirilen kamu harcamalarını ve yatırımları incelemek amacıyla Demokrat Parti iktidarı dönemini seçilmiştir. Bu dönem, bölgesel kalkınma politikalarının ve bölgenin ekonomik gelişimine yönelik önemli kararların alındığı bir zaman dilimini temsil etmektedir. Demokrat Parti döneminde Türkiyede çeşitli politika değişiklikleri ve reformlar gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu dönemde çok sayıda yol, köprü, baraj, okul gibi altyapı projeleri hayata geçirilmiştir. Bu kapsamda Ağrıya asayiş, bayındırlık, eğitim, kültür, sağlık, tarım ve hayvancılık alanlarında harcamalar ve yatırımlar yapıldığı kantitatif olarak ortaya konulmaya çalışıldığı, kaynakların kalkınma sürecinde hangi alanlarda yoğunlaştığı üzerinde de durulmuştur. Bazı yıllarda ise kurum amirlerinin istekleri doğrultusunda bakanlıklardan yatırım taleplerinde bulunulmuştur. Çoğu zaman ise şehrin milletvekilleri ve kurumları tarafından harcama ve yatırım talepleri yapıldığı arşiv kayıtlarına ve şehrin yerel gazetelerine yansımıştır. Modern devletlerin vergi toplama ve kamu yatırımları yapma yetenekleri, toplumun refahını artırmak ve kamu hizmetlerini sağlamak için kritik bir role sahiptir. Bu yatırımlar sayesinde, devletle halk arasındaki bağı güçlendirilir ve bir toplumun genel gelişimine katkıda bulunabilir. Çalışmamızda, Başkanlık Cumhuriyet Arşivi, Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu TÜİK, yerel ve ulusal medya kaynaklarından sağlanan verilere dayanılmıştır. Bu kaynaklar, çeşitli disiplinlerde bilgi toplama ve analiz yapma amacıyla kullanılan önemli bilgi kaynakları olarak kabul edildiği için bu kaynaklara yoğunlaşılmıştır.
