Özet:

With the enactment of the Law No. 6360, which made radical changes in Turkey's current local government system, the boundaries of metropolitan municipalities were extended to the provincial administrative boundaries, and the legal entities of 16,563 villages and 1,358 town municipalities within the metropolitan boundaries were abolished and transformed into neighborhoods, and metropolitan municipalities were given all kinds of agricultural and livestock related legal entities. various activities and services are provided. With the Law No. 6360, the legal entities of 20 town municipalities and 113 villages in Antalya were abolished and the agricultural services provided to rural areas by Antalya Metropolitan Municipality were determined within the scope of the study. When the activity reports of Antalya Metropolitan Municipality for the years 2019-2021 are examined, it is seen that in addition to services such as agricultural infrastructure, irrigation, seed and fertilizer distribution provided by the Agricultural Services Department, training seminars were held on different subjects such as plant protection, biological control, organic agriculture and soil analysis. It has been determined that the soil analysis of the farmers is done free of charge and they are informed about the efficient use of the soil. However, the centrality of the authority to determine public policy on agricultural services, the limited opportunities of the metropolitan municipality as a local government unit, and the lack of an institutional platform with the participation of other stakeholders (farmers, cooperatives, representatives of local and central administrations, etc.) negatively affect the issue of increasing agricultural production and productivity. is considered.
