TI  - Applying the Hierarchical Gray Relational Clustering
Method to Municipal Water Use in Turkey
AB  - This study aims to compare the municipal water distribution performance and classify the
municipal water distribution systems in the provinces of Turkey using the Gray Relational
Hierarchical clustering method for both 2006 and 2016. A correlation analysis was used to
determine the variables affecting the distributed water. The Hierarchical gray clusters and the
changes during the decade are presented with spatial distribution maps using statistically
significant variables. Consequently, the findings reveal that the municipalities of Istanbul,
Izmir, Bursa, Gaziantep, and Kocaeli managed water distribution effectively, whereas the
municipalities of Konya, Şanlıurfa, Diyarbakır, Samsun, Trabzon, and Sakarya managed it
poorly.
