Özet

Gradual population growths, skyrocketing technological

developments and inter-State competitions increase the

energy demands continuously. Although the countries

try to diverse their energy sources in order to sustain

their developments, they also have to pay attention to

protect their energy independences. Thus, it is very

important to develop their self-resources. Coal is the most

common natural source which can meet our energy needs.

However, coal mine enterprises have to be administrated

cost-effectively in order get minimum energy costs.

In this study, the efficiency of Turkish coal enterprises

between the years 2003-2010 is measured by using Data

Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Then, indicators which

are the most important in estimating the efficiency were

determined by using the efficiency scores obtained by

DEA in the Data Mining technique.1
