All successful cities are the most developed and productive cities in their regions and countries in terms of economy and quality of life. In addition, it is observed that there are strong industries and enterprises in these regions and cities. Therefore, this study tries to evaluate the quality of life and the development of the industry together. The proposed method can be considered as a combination of operational research and GIS (Geographical Information System). The results of both approaches support each other. In addition, the innovative approaches of the sectors are evaluated by TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution). Also, the article recommends SMEs (Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises) for sustainable economic growth. According to the results, the quality of life and socio-economic development has a very close relationship with the existence of investments and manufacturing companies. If the current development policy continues, the regions with low quality of life will continue to lag behind the other cities in terms of development. The study indicates that there are remarkable differences between eastern and western Turkey in terms of living standards and the contribution of SMEs to economic development.
所有成功的城市在经济和生活质量方面都是其所在地区和国家最发达、生产力最高的城市。此外，可以观察到这些地区和城市拥有强大的产业和企业。因此，本研究试图综合评估生活质量和产业发展情况。所提出的方法可被视为运筹学与地理信息系统（GIS）的结合。两种方法的结果相互支持。此外，通过逼近理想解排序法（TOPSIS）对各行业的创新方法进行评估。文章还推荐中小企业以实现可持续经济增长。根据结果，生活质量和社会经济发展与投资和制造企业的存在有着非常密切的关系。如果当前的发展政策持续下去，生活质量较低的地区在发展方面将继续落后于其他城市。该研究表明，土耳其东部和西部在生活水平以及中小企业对经济发展的贡献方面存在显著差异。
