Financial Literacy in Micro-Scale Enterprises Operating in Forest Products Sector: Sample of Gumushane, Turkey
Enterprises are one of the main components of the economic system and they are indispensable for maintaining the sustainability of economic activities. The majority of these enterprises are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Sustainability of SMEs depends on their good financial management. Inadequate financial literacy causes SMEs’ owners to make inaccurate financial decisions. The forest products sector is mostly composed of micro-scale enterprises in which financial problems are common. Therefore, this study aims to reveal the financial literacy status of the owners of micro-scale and wood-processing enterprises. For this purpose, 78 enterprises were selected as study population. Data were collected by applying a structured questionnaire to 43 of these companies by the face-to-face interview method. The structured questionnaire consisted of multiple-choice and open-ended questions and statements prepared on the Five Likert scales. Data were analysed by using the Independent-Sample T-Test, Mann-Whitney U-Test and correlation test. The reliability coefficient of the data was found to be 0.791. Of the enterprises, 58 % produced in the furniture sub-sector and 42 % in the wood products sub-sector. This study provides evidence that there was no statistically significant difference between the knowledge means of economics and financial behaviour of the furniture and wood products sectors. However, the enter-prise owners’ knowledge of financial analysis positively affected their financial literacy and financial behaviour. © 2022, Journal Drvna Industrija. All rights reserved.

Mikro Ölçekli Mobilya ve Kereste Üreten İşletmelerin Atık ve Çevrelerine Karşı Yaklaşımları
Top, Yener; Adanur, Hakan; Öz, Mehmet
Bu çalışmanın amacı, orman ürünleri endüstrisinin iki alt sektörünü oluşturan mobilya ve kereste sektöründe faaliyet gösteren mikro ölçekli işletmelerin çevresel bilinç ve uygulamalarını ortaya koymaktır. Küçük ve orta ölçekli işletmeler her ülke ekonomisi içinde sayı, üretim miktarı, istihdam gibi yönlerden önemli yer tutar. Orman endüstrisini oluşturan kereste, mobilya ve kâğıt alt sektörlerinin % 99,9' u küçük ve orta ölçekli sınıfında yer alırken bunların da % 96' sı mikro ölçekli işletme sınıfı içinde yer almıştır. Bu kapsam içinde yer alan her bir işletmenin çevre üzerindeki etkileri sınırlı olmasına karşın; toplamda önemli bir etkiye sahiptirler. 80'li yılların sonlarından beri işletmelerin çevre üzerindeki etkileri artan bir kaygı konusu olmuştur. Bunun sonucu küçük ve orta ölçekli işletme sahip-yöneticileri üzerinde çevresel yönetim aktivite ve uygulamalarını geliştirmeleri için artan bir baskı vardır. Trabzon da faaliyet gösteren 885 mikro ölçekli kereste ve mobilya üreten işletmeyi temsil eden 120 işletmeye yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile 2015 yılında anket uygulanmıştır. İşletmelerin büyük çoğunluğu, çevre kirliliğinin olduğuna inanmaktadırlar ancak kendi işletmelerinin çevreyi kirlettiğine inanan işletme sayısı çok daha azdır. Ayrıca işletmelerin % 66'sının atıklarının azaltılamayacağına inandığı ve üretilen atıkları toplayan her hangi bir organizasyonun olmadığı, araştırmada elde edilen sonuçlardan bazılarıdır.; This study aims to demonstrate the environmental awareness and practices of micro-scale businesses operating in the furniture and timber industry, which are two sub-sectors of the forest products industry. Small and mediumsized businesses have a significant place in every country's economy for their size, production and employment. While 99.9% of the timber, furniture and paper sub-sectors constituting the forest industry are in the small and medium-sized class, 96% of them are in the micro-scale business class. Although the environmental impacts of each of these businesses are limited, they have an important influence in total. Since the late 1980s, environmental impacts of businesses have been an increasing matter of concern. As a result, there is an increasing pressure on small and medium-sized business owners and managers to improve their environmental management practices and performances. A questionnaire was applied to 120 businesses representing 885 micro-scale timber and furniture producing businesses operating in Trabzon by face to face interview in 2015. The clear majority of these businesses believe there is environmental pollution, but the number of businesses that believe their businesses less pollute the environment. In addition, some of the results of the survey are that 66% of the businesses believe that waste cannot be reduced and there is no organization collecting the waste.

Gümüşhane İli Orman Ürünleri Sanayi İşletmelerinin Yapısal Özelliklerinin İncelenmesi
Top, Yener; Adanur, Hakan; Öz, Mehmet; Yaşar, Mehmet
Mikro ölçekli işletmelerin payı, Türkiye’de kurulu toplam işletme sayısı içinde %95’dir. Orman ürünleri sanayi (OÜS) sektöründeki payı %98.6’dır. Bu ölçek grubundaki işletmeler, istihdam, üretim ve bölgeler arası ekonomik dengesizliğin giderilmesinde önemlidir. İmalat sanayi sektörü içinde üç alt kısımdan oluşan OÜS, Türk İmalat Sanayi içinde önemli bir yer tutar. Buradan hareketle, bu çalışmada Gümüşhane ili orman ürünleri sanayi işletmelerinin yapısal özellikleri incelenmiştir. Araştırma, yüz yüze anket yöntemiyle 47 işletme üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bölgesel kavak odunlarını kullanması yönünden kereste kısmı özellikle önemli bulunmuştur. Kereste ve mobilya kısımları, toplamda, il imalat sanayi içinde işyeri sayısı açısından %28, istihdam açısından %26’lık paya sahiptirler. İşletmelerin %57’sinin sermaye, %55’inin işgücü bulma sorunları olduğu bulunmuştur. OÜS’nin işletme başına istihdama katkısı (2.55) il imalat sanayi ortalamasından (2.27) fazladır. Gümüşhane ili orman ürünleri sanayi işletmeleri, sahip oldukları yapısal özellikler yönünden Türkiye’nin diğer bölgelerindeki mikro ölçekli işletmelere benzerlik göstermektedir.; In total, 95% of all business enterprises established in Turkey are micro-scale, and this figure increases to 98.6% in the forest products industry. Micro-scale enterprises are important in terms of production, employment, and overcoming economic imbalances among regions. The forest products industry, which includes three subdivisions within the manufacturing sector, occupies an important place in the overall Turkish manufacturing sector. Thus, this study examined the structural characteristics of forest product enterprises in Gümüşhane Province. The research involved in-person interviews with personnel at 47 enterprises. The data revealed that the sawmill division was especially important with respect to the use of local poplar logs. The sawmill and furniture divisions accounted for 28% of all enterprises and 26% of all employees in the manufacturing sector in Gümüşhane. We found that 57% of enterprises had difficulty in finding working capital and 55% of enterprises experienced shortages of labour. The average contribution of each forest products business to employment (2.55) was more than that of other manufacturers in Gümüşhane (2.27). The forest product businesses in Gümüşhane resemble other micro-scale enterprises located in other regions of Turkey in terms of their structural properties.

Waste generation and utilisation in micro-sized furniture-manufacturing enterprises in Turkey
Top, Y.
The number of small-scale businesses within most national economies is generally high, especially in developing countries. Often these businesses have a weak economic status and limited environmental awareness. The type and amount of waste produced, and the recycling methods adopted by these businesses during their operation can have negative effects on the environment. This study investigated the types of waste generated and the recycling methods adopted in micro-sized enterprises engaged in the manufacture of furniture. An assessment was also made of whether the characteristics of the enterprise had any effect on the waste recycling methods that were practised. A survey was conducted of 31 enterprises in the furniture industry in Gumushane province, Turkey, which is considered a developing economy. Surveys were undertaken via face-to-face interviews. It was found that medium-density fibreboard (MDF), and to a lesser extent, chipboard, were used in the manufacture of furniture, and two major types of waste in the form of fine dust and small fragments of board are generated during the cutting of these boards. Of the resulting composite board waste, 96.9% was used for heating homes and workplaces, where it was burnt under conditions of incomplete combustion. Enterprises were found to have adopted other methods to utilise their wastes in addition to using them as fuel. Such enterprises include those operating from a basement or first floor of a building in the cities, those continuing production throughout the year, those in need for capital and those enterprises not operating a dust-collection system.
