TURKEY - In the Local Governments Open Data Index report, the steps taken by the 5 metropolitan municipalities (Balıkesir, Bursa, Istanbul, Izmir and Konya) that have open data portals for both transparency and accountability and spreading the culture of openness are under scrutiny.
The report, which was prepared to enable open data studies to be carried forward, was implemented by making use of international indices and the research methodology was shared transparently in the report.
Open Data Index Project Managers Dr. Fatih Sinan Esen and Sevda Yalınbaş explain their motivation for preparing the open data index report:
“This index is an indicator research that examines open data studies in terms of readiness, implementation and impact. We had a multidimensional motivation while creating the report. We wanted to encourage local governments to work on open data in accordance with international standards, measure the social impact of open data studies, present a comparative index that will enable a beneficial competition, and inspire local governments that have never opened their data. We plan to develop our report with feedback and publish it as the Turkey Open Data Index every year, and we expect the contribution of all institutions and organizations.”
Open Data Association Chairman of the Board Bilal Eren states that the Open Data Index will increase the will to open the data and adds:
“Creating an open data barometer was one of our association's main goals. I sincerely believe that this study will both increase the will to open data in our country and enable the development of data sources. At this point, I would like to thank the metropolitan municipalities, which contributed to our first study, for displaying an exemplary stance. I invite all our citizens and corporate executives to the promotional event where we will present this special open data research.”
At the introductory meeting to be held with the support of Harvard Business Review Turkey, both the Open Data Index will be shared with the public and how insights can be reached through open data will be discussed by experts.
