    Numerous studies have developed and validated models and instruments for consumer behaviours. However, cahracteristics of decision making still remain unknown. In this study, we attempted to investigate decision making behaviours of consumers for organic fishery products in Hatay province of Turkey. The data were collected from Antakya district located in the centre of Hatay province and were analyzed with factor analysis method. Out of 442 reports gathered through face to face interviews, 412 were found to be suitable for the analysis. Results indicated that four factors were found to be effective in assessing consumer tendencies regarding organic fish consumption. Shopping place, quality, health and price were the main factors, which explained 65.34% of the variation. More than half of the consumers seemed to be willing to pay 10-30% more for organic fish. In addition, organic fish consumtion tendency is accounted for 36.20% in the research area. It appears that there is a potential market for organic fishery products in the area under the investigation.

    It is intended in this study to analyze household fish consumption preferences. Accordingly, the fish quality set and sales conditions that maximize consumer utility were determined. The study was conveyed in Hatay province urban area sample as a section of Turkey. The data retrieved from face to face survey implemented on household level in 2008 was used for the study. The conjoint analysis method, as a multivariate analysis was implemented for assessment of household data. Consequently, it was found that variety, supply channel, price and production method were effective and significant in purchasing preference of the consumer at rates of 29.7, 28.0, 27.2 and 15.1%, respectively. In addition, the utility maximizing fish quality set was determined as variety: gilt-head bream; production method: organic; supply chain: fish market; price: moderate.

    Energy usage and benefit-cost analysis of cotton production in Turkey
    (Academic Journals, 2009) Dagistan, Erdal; Akcaoz, Handan; Demirtas, Bekir; Yilmaz, Yalcin
    The aim of this research is to determine the energy input and output involved in cotton production in the Hatay province of Turkey. The average energy consumption of the farms investigated in this study is 19 558 MJha(-1). Of the total energy, 2.87% is direct and 71.13% is indirect. Renewable energy accounts for 12.30% and energy usage efficiency is found to be 2.36. The total energy input into the production of one kilogram of average Turkish cotton is estimated to be 4.99 MJ. The dominant contribution to input is energy in the form of nitrogen fertiliser (40.28%), followed by water for irrigation (22.37%) and diesel-oil (17.04%). The cost of cotton production per hectare is found to be 2 246 $ha(-1) in the region, with 79.87% of this being variable costs. It can be concluded that intensive cotton farms are being operated in the area since the variable cost ratio is quite high. As a result of benefit-cost ratio (1.24) analysis, cotton production is found to be economically efficient.
