ABSTRACT
Transportation
infrastructure and logistics facilities are partly different in both Turkey and
Germany in terms of geographical location, industrial history and economy. The
world witnesses the highest logistics performance index score in Germany.
Meanwhile, Turkey experiences a
promptly development. As Europe’s largest economy and second most populous nation,
Germany leads in developing logistics strategies and services as a key member
of the EU’s economic and political structure. On the other hand, Turkey
possesses a strategic location between the continents but conventionally
problems in transportation mode sprit and interconnectivity of systems that
interfere with “hub” role for its region
and achieve economic benefit. This paper aims to focus on transportation mode
sprit and location decision of freight villages in Germany to understand the
mind behind success. With this purpose, first section is substantially based on
secondary data gathered from Turkish/German Statistical Institutes, Ministries
of Transportation and NGO’s of the sector and academic studies. Finally, the
lessons to be taken for Turkey’s future policies are presented. Results
indicate that, the finest detail is hidden behind the railway investments and
their connections with other modes for Turkey. Germany’s logistics workforce and infrastructure is
geographically spread all over the country, but in Turkey, unbalanced regional
development force country to polarised developed regions in the western part.
