In this study, relationship of human development index, economic development and nutrition was evaluated. Data of Turkey, Norway, Korea, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, Iran and the United States was compared. General situation in Turkey is evaluated and Solution proposals was presented. In the study, economic size and geographical proximity and similar features with Turkey, high Human Development Indexed countries was selected to compare with many parameters. Comparisons of the countries in terms of human development index and nutritional deficiency, showed similar characteristics with Iran, however, Turkey is dissociated from European countries, Korea and the US. As a result, the economic development level of countries have not seen that much more accurate results in the comparison of the human development index. ÖzetBu çalışmada insani gelişme endeksi, ekonomik gelişmişlik ve beslenme ilişkisi değerlendirilmiştir. Türkiye, Norveç, Kore, İtalya, Yunanistan, Bulgaristan, İran ve Amerika’ya ait veriler karşılaştırılmıştır. Türkiye’nin genel durumu değerlendirilmiş ve çözüm önerileri sunulmuştur. Çalışmada, Türkiye ile ekonomik büyüklük ve coğrafi yakınlık gibi özellikleri benzer ülkeler ve insani gelişmişlik endeksi yüksek olan ülkeler birçok parametre için karşılaştırılmıştır. Karşılaştırmalar, ülkemizin insani gelişmişlik endeksi ve beslenme yetersizliği açısından, İran ile benzer özellikler gösterdiğini ancak Avrupa ülkeleri, Kore ve ABD’den ayrıştığını göstermiştir. Sonuç olarak, ekonomik kalkınmışlık seviyesinin değil ülkeleri karşılaştırmada insani gelişmişlik endeksinin çok daha doğru sonuçlar verdiği görülmüştür.

The success of a development is not only seen from the level of economic growth but also from the level of community welfare as well as a benchmark for the success of the development of a region. The Human Development Index covers three indices, namely the education index, health index, and purchasing power index. In this study one of the indicators in improving the human development index is the health index. Judging from the growth rate of the Situbondo District human development index (HDI), the health index growth during 2012-2016 remained at 0.74 and the growth of the human development index (HDI) in Situbondo was still below the growth of the human development index (HDI) in East Java Province. The formulation of the problem taken in this study is how to synthesize strategies in improving the Human Development Index (HDI) in the health sector in Situbondo District. The analytical method used uses analytical hierarchy process. The results of the analysis analysis obtained the strategy used in improving the human development index in Situbondo District in the health sector, namely health services became a priority in improving the human development index in the health sector in Situbondo District by 0.136, and both health budgets by 0.059, and the three health sector institutions by 0.018.

Abstract Human Development Index (HDI) measures development in a country by combining indicators of life expectancy, education level and income. In 2013, 187 countries were included in this index, which aims to expand the coverage area as additional statistics become more available. HDI, which is published by UNDP, may be the most comprehensive indicator, but it is not fully compatible enough to measure the human development level in a global perspective. Human Development Index explicitly explains the development of a country as being more than an economic growth tool or material wealth. In this way, this index is distinguished from many other performance indicators. This article aims to analyze the proportion of the three indicators on 37 European countries.

Human development index matters a lot for the economic condition of a country. It can be calculated with the help of the education index, health index, and GDP. So, by looking only at the value of the human development index (HDI), the economy of the country can be judged. The contribution of this research project is the identification of factors related to human development. The factors include the availability of the basic necessities, facilities related to education, health, and income. For this purpose, different important factors have been observed for the Multan district by taking MICS (2007-2008) survey data. Logistic regression is applied for the purpose of analysis. Significant factors are noted in each regression analysis based on the dependent factor.

Summary The aim of the study was to demonstrate the connection between education efficiency level and human development level. It was assumed that there is a connection between the value of Local Human Development Index (LHDI) and education efficiency established by means of the data envelopment analysis (DEA). The analysis covered data regarding 60 counties, recorded in 2013-2015. 30 counties with the highest Local Human Development Index (LHDI) and 30 counties with the lowest LHDI value were selected. The counties were selected based on a 2010 ranking of counties ordered according to LHDI values, published as a part of the National Report on Human Development. An additional analysis was conducted to evaluate the connection between Education Efficiency Index and the Wealth Index, Health Index and Education Index. The data on the counties used for the analyses was obtained from the Local Data Bank kept by the Main Statistical Office of Poland (GUS) and the Education Research Institute (IBE) of the Ministry of National Education. The efficiency analysis based on DEA-CRS was conducted with DEAFrontier software. The final stage of the analyses involved an ANOVA unidimensional analysis of variance for multiple factors, with emphasis on contrast analysis (simple contrast). The quality predictor applied in those analyses was the class of Efficiency Index. The analyses demonstrate that the highest Education Efficiency Index has been recorded in the counties that have the highest values of analysed variables characteristic of the largest counties. The identified dependency is also associated with the highest value of Local Human Development Index and the measures that make up LHDI.

The authors explore an alternative way of analyzing the relationship between human development and individualism. The method is based on the first principal component of Hofstede's individualism index in the Human Development Index rating domain. Results suggest that the general idea that greater wealth brings more individualism is only true for countries with high levels of development, while for middle or low levels of development the inverse is true.

Gender Inequality Index is a major indicator presenting level of development of the countries as Human Development Index, which is calculated regularly every year by UN. In this study, an alternative calculation has been proposed for measuring gender inequality index which is an important barrier for the human development. Each indicator in the index integrated as MAUT- AHP and also AHP-TOPSIS and these methods carried out again for the alternative ranking member and candidate countries of the European Union. The main objective here is to represent that the indicators form gender inequality index can be reclassified with different weights for each indicator.

The condition of the border areas in Indonesia is largely isolated, lagging, poor, and backward so as to require an affirmafive and innovative development policy. This study discusses the asymmetrical policy of Jokowi-JK government in the development of border areas in Indonesia. Most of the border areas are Underdeveloped Regions, so a symmetrical or special policy is required so that the development of border areas is not left behind with other regions or other countries. The implementation of the policy was carried out with the development of infrastructure and basic social services for the community as well as financial distribution, implementation of specific policies and arranging the formation of New Autonomous Region (DOB) in welfare-oriented border areas. This asymmetric policy encourages accelerated development in border areas so as to improve the human development index.
