1950’li yıllardan itibaren engellilere yönelik tıbbi bakım hizmetleri dışındaki diğer hizmetlerin de sunulmasına (Küçükali, 2015: 105) karşın toplum hayatında engelli bireyler kendi varlıklarını gösterebilme konusunda uzunca bir dönem geri planda kalmıştır. Bu durum engellilere yönelik politika ve hizmetlerde merkezi idare dışındaki diğer kurumların görev ve sorumlulukları çok fazla yüklenememesinden kaynaklı olduğu söylenebilinir. Ancak bu olumsuz olgu yerel sosyal politikalar konusunda belediyelere görev ve sorumluluklar verilmesiyle birlikte değişim göstermeye başlamıştır. Özellikle 2000’li yıllardan itibaren yerel yönetim alanında yapılan reformlarla engellilere yönelik yerel nitelikli hizmetlerde belediyelere bazı yetki ve görevler verilmiştir. Böylece engellilere sunulan yerel hizmet ve politika konusunda merkezi yönetimin yanında belediyeler de temel aktör olarak yerini almaya başlamıştır. Reform döneminde 5216 sayılı Büyükşehir Belediye Yasası, 5393 sayılı Belediye Yasası ile 2012 yılında çıkarılan 6360 sayılı yasa engelli alanında belediyelere yönelik emredici hükümler ile görevler yükleyerek çeşitli haklar ile hizmetleri ortaya koymuştur. Bu bağlamda belediyeler kendi imkânları dâhilinde hizmetlerin niteliğinden mekânların kullanıma kadar farklı hizmetleri engellilerin kullanımına sunmaya ve toplum hayatına uyum konusunda destek olmaya çalışmıştır. Dolayısıyla çalışmada engelli bireylere yönelik belediyelere verilen görev sorumluluklar ile hizmet ve uygulamalar Malatya Büyükşehir Belediyesi örneği üzerinden ele alınmıştır. Böylece yerel alanda belediyelerin engellilere yönelik sunduğu iyi hizmet uygulamalarını ortaya koymak, var olan eksiklikleri tespit etmek ve ileride yapılacak hizmetlere yol göstermek amaçlanmıştır.
Although the disabled individuals have been offered various services along with medical care services since the 1950s (Küçükali, 2015: 105), they have fallen behind in society when it comes to prove and establish themselves. We might say that the reason for the case is due to the fact that institutions and organizations out of central government do not feel responsible enough for the policies and services for the disabled. However, this negative case began to change soon after municipalities were charged with duties and responsibilities regarding local social policies. Especially, during the years following 2000 when some innovative reforms were accepted in the local government, the municipalities were given some duties and responsibilities regarding qualified local services for the disabled. Therefore, as well as the central government, municipalities also started to play a critical role in duties and responsibilities for the disabled individuals. Following these changes and newly added laws like The Metropolitan Municipality Law numbered 5216, The Municipality Law numbered 5393 and the law 6360 enacted in 2012, the municipalities were given further duties and responsibilities for the disabled. In this sense, the municipalities, with their own means, have not only tried to support the disabled individuals with more quality services and the use of buildings, but they have also them accommodate themselves to the society. In our study, duties, responsibilities and services were illustrated by the example of the metropolitan municipality of Malta. To do so, we aimed to clarify good services of the municipalities for the disabled, to find out the problems within current services and study potential services in the future.
