Local administrations are the institutions which meet the local needs in the location. Local administrations are linked to democracy in terms of the participations in local decision-making processes. In this sense, the existence of democratic is dependent upon the access to local participation. Today, methods of local participation are divided into two categories as means of traditional and new participation. For this reason, classical and new methods of participation need to be evaluated in detail. The process of democratisation in local administrations and the axe of globalisation and localisation both require a detailed examination on participation with an expectation of important roles of new methods and tools for local participation. Within this context, this paper aims to evaluate and highlight the importance of means for local participation in the process of democratisation in local administrations.
