Master Thesis Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) based approach to identity the best fit green building certification system for turkey(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2017) Said, Fatma S.; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiAs one of the most important global issues, the sustainable development goal has been legislated by many countries in order to ensure the compliance of the projects. Thus, ensuring the compliance of projects with the sustainability requirements is considered important for development. In this research, a methodology is introduced based on a strategy to find out the most influential criteria and sub-criteria that shall be considered for the development of a green building certification system for Turkey. The research adopts the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method by identifying the criteria and sub-criteria from the literature, as well as interviewing experts from different background; academicians, consultants and government decision makers. Using criteria and sub-criteria that are considered important according to the green building and sustainability studies, the questionnaire developed by the AHP software (Expert choice 11.5 academic version) is filled by the experts. The final results show that economy (cost) and efficiency are considered the most important criteria for the green building certification system in Turkey, while overall assessment success, registration and certification costs, and adaptability and reliability are the most important sub-criteria. The hypotheses testing show that the current certification systems are unsufficient for Turkey; and also the AHP method is thought to be successful for the assessment of Turkey's green building certification system.
