Purpose: The Human Development Index (HDI), which is measured by three basic elements such as long and healthy life, access to education and a decent standard of living, plays an important role in country comparisons. Comparing provinces in the context of human development is as important as comparing countries to draw attention to the difference between provinces. The aim of this study is to rank the provinces in Turkey according to the HDI index and the expanded indicators. Methodology: In the study, firstly, the provinces were ranked with the original HDI calculation. Then, using HDI dimensions and 14 sub-indicators, the provinces were ranked by VIKOR method, which is a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Method. Findings: In the first two rankings, Ankara is the best province according to HDI, while Van and Ağrı are in the last two places. In the ranking made with the expanded indicators, Kocaeli ranked first, while Şanlıurfa and Ağrı ranked in the last two places. It is striking that the provinces in the western region have higher development levels compared to the eastern provinces in the rankings. Originality: The use of VIKOR method as an alternative to HDI in comparing the human development levels of the provinces, the handling of the VIKOR method using extended indicators as well as the original HDI calculation, and the development proposal in the HDI calculation constitute originality of this study.
