In
the transition to an information society, a government structure
that possesses integrated, efficient, transparent and simplified
business processes is a basic principle. In line with this,
providing interoperability within the public sector that
encompasses not only corporations and organizations but also
local administrations and identifying the necessary procedures
and standards for this is of significant importance. In this
context, the social network analysis (SNA) is an effective tool.
Using SNA, this study examined real estate (immovable) appraisal
(valuation) that is widely used by the public sector as well as
the private sector that is realized through multi-headed
organizational structures in Turkey. With the numerical and
visual analysis conducted at the central county of the province
of Afyonkarahisar, answers were sought to questions such as, “In
the work relating to real estate appraisal which organization is
most concerned?” “In obtaining real estate appraisal related
data which organization is cooperated with the most?” “Of the
organizations that undertake real estate appraisal which
organization is known the most?” “Which organization that
carries out real estate appraisal is trusted the most?” In
conclusion, the relationship between organizations that
undertook real estate appraisals were evaluated using the SNA
and an unseeable social relationship network was revealed.
Key words: Social networks, social network analysis, real
estate appraisal, Turkey.
