Abstract

In order to be successful in combating poverty, poverty must be well defined and poverty measurement criteria must be well defined. Especially in recent studies, poverty is not only defined as an income deficiency, but poverty is defined as a multidimensional problem. In these current studies on poverty indicators, all dimensions are considered with equal importance. However, the effects of the dimensions of poverty on this problem are not equal. In this study, the importance levels of the dimensions that make up the concept of poverty were calculated with expert opinions. The Fuzzy LMAW model was used to improve the scientific calculation of weights. The three dimensions of health, education and living standards of the multidimensional poverty index and the weight of their indicators were calculated based on the interviews with the relevant experts. The research shows that the size of the standard of living and its main indicators, drinking water, make up a large weight. By using these weight levels, dimensions can be weighted in studies on poverty indicators and solution proposals will be more effective.
