    ON LOCAL GOVERNMENTS OMBUDSMAN IN TURKEY: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS WITH THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS OMBUDSMAN IN UK AND ITALY; [SOBRE O OMBUDSMAN DOS GOVERNOS LOCAIS NA TURQUIA: UMA ANÁLISE COMPARATIVA COM O OMBUDSMAN DOS GOVERNOS LOCAIS NO REINO UNIDO E NA ITÁLIA]; [SOBRE EL OMBUDSMAN DE LOS GOBIERNOS LOCALES EN TURQUÍA: UN ANÁLISIS COMPARATIVO CON EL OMBUDSMAN DE LOS GOBIERNOS LOCALES EN EL REINO UNIDO E ITALIA]

    Objective: The Ombudsman is essentially an independent, national-level institution that operates in response to complaints from citizens in order to steer public administrations away from bad administrative practices and behavior. However, it is impossible for an ombudsman with such a broad mandate at the national level to deal with all administrative complaints within the state. Therefore, in order to get more efficiency from the national Ombudsman, it has been divided into different sub-types. Theoretical Framework: One of these is the Ombudsman for local governmentrs, which deals only with complaints from local administrations. Although there is a national ombudsman in Turkey, there is no ombudsman specialized in local governments. Method: This study aims to make some suggestions for the Ombudsman for local governments envisaged to be established in Turkey in the future by analyzing the local governments ombudsman offices in the UK and Italy in terms of their structural-institutional and functional aspects. In this context, the study, with a comparative approach, provides suggestions for the basic aspects, qualities and characteristics of the Turkish local government ombudsman and, thus, for its structural-institutional and functional aspects. The method of the research is literature review. Results and Discussion: According to the results of this research; Establishing an ombudsman for local governments in Turkey by law, cooperating with other ombudsmen in the vicinity, examining and correcting the mismanagement and bad behavior of local governments upon public demand, ensuring easy and cheap access, fulfilling their duties, and quickly and systematically addressing the faults of local governments. Warning, making suggestions, preparing reports and then reporting the situation to local decision-making boards and the public will be effective in providing public services more effectively and efficiently and strengthening local democracy. Originality/value: In the study, original suggestions are made for local government ombudsman in Turkey, based on the examples of UK and Italy.

    Roza: a new and comprehensive metric for evaluating classification systems

    Melek, Mesut; Melek, Negin

    Many metrics such as accuracy rate (ACC), area under curve (AUC), Jaccard index (JI), and Cohen’s kappa coefficient are available to measure the success of the system in pattern recognition and machine/deep learning systems. However, the superiority of one system to one other cannot be determined based on the mentioned metrics. This is because such a system can be successful using one metric, but not the other ones. Moreover, such metrics are insufficient when the number of samples in the classes is unequal (imbalanced data). In this case, naturally, by using these metrics, a sensible comparison cannot be made between two given systems. In the present study, the comprehensive, fair, and accurate Roza (Roza means rose in Persian. When different permutations of the metrics used are superimposed in a polygon format, it looks like a flower, so we named it Roza.) metric is introduced for evaluating classification systems. This metric, which facilitates the comparison of systems, expresses the summary of many metrics with a single value. To verify the stability and validity of the metric and to conduct a comprehensive, fair, and accurate comparison between the systems, the Roza metric of the systems tested under the same conditions are calculated and comparisons are made. For this, systems tested with three different strategies on three different datasets are considered. The results show that the performance of the system can be summarized by a single value and the Roza metric can be used in all systems that include classification processes, as a powerful metric.
