Current Overview and Interpretation of Linked Data on Transport Modes in Turkey in 2023

Logistics can be considered as the main tool of international trade and integration in the world. Logistics, known for its frequent application activities, especially in the military field, until the 1900s, literally became one of the main actors of a global revolution that took place in the mid-1900s. As we approach 2023, the logistics industry continues to exist with a GDP share of 10% - 15% in developed world countries. The sector appeals to a very wide area in economic terms, based on the breadth of its fields of activity. It is stated in UTIKAD reports that the logistics market will exceed 10.68 trillion US dollars as it enters 2023. In this regard, it is possible to say that the global trade dimensions of especially the developed world countries have increased. It should be noted that some wars between countries have caused changes in everything from the energy crisis to logistics trade routes, and the embargoes imposed between countries have periodic financial effects. Türkiye will enter the 100th anniversary of its founding on October 29, 2023. It has been determined that the policies and practices of transportation systems, the foundations of which were laid by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey, have developed from time to time over the years and have also entered a period of stagnation from time to time. In this article, an overview of the activities that took place from the establishment of the Republic of Turkey to this year is presented. In the study, information was provided by examining Turkey's current situation in the land, air, railway and maritime transportation sector, as well as its position in pipeline transportation. Additionally, with a critical approach to the logistics sector implemented in Turkey, the steps that need to be taken for the development of the sector will be explained. It is also suggested that the data can be used in a new study by presenting averages of some of the variables in proportion to the relevant parameters in order to obtain meaningful results, especially for monitoring the development of the country. In this regard, it is necessary to pay attention to disadvantages such as the lack of transportation-communication network, which has been one of the investment areas since the 2000s.
