The public investment projects are essential to improve the state economy prosperously and to improve life of people. In spite of high need for public investment projects, resources are limited. So, there has been increased requirement on the accountability and efficiency of the public investment projects. To overcome these issues, project performance evaluation systems are needed. Scientific and reasonable performance measurement can be utilized in these systems to evaluate public investment projects. A set of measurement index and the assessment method must be developed to strengthen the measurement of public investment projects performance. In this thesis, a new project evaluation system is introduced. In attribute selection part of this model, Genetic Algorithm and several data mining methods are used. Harmony Search and Genetic Algorithm are used at building evaluation model after attribute selection. The proposed system is applied to evaluation process of 493 World Bank projects. The results are compared with the classical project evaluation technique using the Analytical Hierarchy Process and well known classification methods in the literature. Considering the evaluation results, the proposed work is more successful than these well known methods in the literature.

Metaheuristic Based Automated Evaluation Method for Public Investment Project
Yılmaz, Tulug Figen; Karagöz, Pınar (null; 2015-09-25)
The public investment projects are essential to improve the state economy and life of people. Since the resources are limited, developing automated project performance evaluation systems are required. In this work, we propose a metaheuristic algorithm based approach for automated project evaluation. Project evaluation involves selecting the attributes effective for evaluation, determining the weights of the selected attributes and determining cut-off values for project evaluation. In the attribute selection...
Developing Process Definition for Financial and Physical Resource Management Process in Government Domain
Gökalp, Ebru (2016-06-10)
Public Financial and Physical Resource Management (PFPRM) is becoming a core competency critical to a government organization's competitive advantage. Recent studies have shown that organizations with established PFPRM are able to generate millions of dollars in additional savings and have a distinct competitive advantage. Our literature review showed that there is also a lack of a guideline for process capability determination and improvement of PFPRM. On the other hand, after observing benefits in softwar...
Comparison of Intelligent Classification Techniques by Practicing a Specific Technology Audit
Berkol, A.; Kara, G.; Turk, A. (2016-09-08)
Technology audit activities arc carried out for assessment of firms' technological requirements, capacity or management capability. The aim of these assessments is to define the weaknesses of firms and develop actions in order to improve firms' technological capacity and/or technology management capability. Generally these activities are implemented with survey questionnaires. These questionnaires can be filled by managers of firms or can be implemented as an interview by independent experts. However, evalu...
Causal relationship between construction investment policy and economic growth in Turkey
Ozkan, Filiz; Ozkan, Omer; Gunduz, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2012-02-01)
The construction industry in countries experiencing severe economic crisis has vital importance to get out of stagnation because of its direct relations with 200 different sectors. In this study, the relationship between the construction growth data (infrastructure, building and residential (public), building and residential (private) investment) and gross domestic product (GDP) is examined for Turkey. To this end, Engle-Granger cointegration, error correction model (ECM) and Granger causality tests were ap...
Quantiative Methodology for Determination of Cost Contingency in International Projects
Sönmez, Rifat; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2007-01-01)
This paper presents a quantitative methodology to determine financial impacts of the risk factors during the bidding stages of international construction projects. Project and country data of 26 construction projects from 21 countries were collected for evaluation of the international risk factors. The factors impacting cost contingency were identified using correlation and regression analysis techniques. The results indicated that four factors had major contributions for explaining the variations in the co...
