Özet:

Today’s division of civil administration in Turkey is being conducted with methods left from the era of the Ottoman Empire and is affected by the structure of French civil administration. On the basis of article 126 of the Constitution of 1982, the civil administrative units have formed as provinces, districts and sub-districts in Turkey. Districts are essential parts of the provincial administrative system. The main problem in the level of district is that settlements, which fail to preserve the criteria of district in terms of the parameters of area, population you, socio-economic and physical structures or gradually lost their characteristics as settlements in the status of district, still carry the status of district. One of the main reasons for the emergence of these problems is due to deficiencies in the legislation and for solving them; the criterion about the definition of administrative boundaries and sizes of districts must be defined by legislation. Considering districts in this context and solving problems contributes to the delivery of public services in an effective way as well as the prevention of uncontrollable use of the country’s resources. The scope of this research, legislation relating to the administrative structure and shortcomings in legislation has been examined and the problems caused by these deficiencies have been revealed.
