Improving the performance of the state environmental agencies (SEAs) necessitates an effective institutionalization of governmental environmental management functions. There are examples of successful and unsuccessful SEAs in several parts of the world. Analysis and assessment of these cases can deliver useful insights for institution builders. The objective of this article is the assessment of the institutional effectiveness of the SEAs in Turkey through the perceptions of the experts using the Delphi Technique. In this regard, a checklist is developed including 16 criteria and 123 subcriteria to measure the institutional effectiveness of the SEAs. Twenty-eight national and international experts have formed a Delphi panel and evaluated the national and local conditions. Results, based on the perceptions of the experts, indicate that the overall effectiveness of the SEAs is far less than satisfactory. Negative consensus has been reached over the effectiveness of 13 of the 16 criteria and 95 of the 123 subcriteria; however, no consensus has been achieved over the remainder of the parameters. The survey has also proven that the Delphi Technique can be effectively used for that purpose. Utilization of the checklist method is also useful in diagnosing the problematic components of the SEAs. It is recommended that this approach be used in similar cases elsewhere.
提高国家环境机构（SEAs）的绩效需要有效地将政府环境管理职能制度化。在世界多个地区都有国家环境机构成功和失败的例子。对这些案例进行分析和评估可为机构建设者提供有益的见解。本文的目的是通过运用德尔菲技术，依据专家的看法来评估土耳其国家环境机构的制度有效性。在这方面，制定了一份包含16项标准和123个子标准的清单，以衡量国家环境机构的制度有效性。28位国内和国际专家组成了一个德尔菲小组，对国家和地方情况进行了评估。基于专家的看法得出的结果表明，国家环境机构的整体有效性远不尽如人意。16项标准中的13项以及123个子标准中的95项在有效性方面达成了负面共识；然而，其余参数未达成共识。该调查还证明，德尔菲技术可有效地用于此目的。清单法的运用在诊断国家环境机构的问题组成部分方面也很有用。建议在其他地方的类似案例中采用这种方法。
