dc.description.abstractSustainable energy is an important and strategic issue to meet the needs of future generations. In order to ensure sustainable energy, action plans should be created and the steps to be taken should be prioritized. In this study, an integrated AHP/ANP methodology with SWOT Analysis TOWS Matrix is applied for strategic analysis. The study is carried out with the 31 participations of internal and external stakeholders for the Yenisehir region in Mersin province of Turkey. Firstly, SWOT Analysis is applied for the region, and then, it is developed with the TOWS matrix, which is the action tool for the items determined by the SWOT analysis. At this stage, 16 Sustainable Energy Action Plan strategies are determined. Finally, the weights for each strategy are calculated separately with the AHP method and the ANP method, and prioritized, and the importance levels of the strategies are determined. After both solutions, the first three strategies that are asked to be given priority in practice are found to be the same. Priority strategies in the study, increasing renewable energy applications in buildings depending on population density (SO1), reducing greenhouse gas emissions with waste management studies (WO5), and maximizing the energy efficiency potential to provide thermal insulation, create energy efficient systems in buildings (SO3) and emerge as priority strategies. The study is a guide for the first steps to be taken by the region for sustainable energy actions and is carried out effectively with integrated systems.
