Özet:

The Black Sea region is one of the regions that hosts the largest number of provincial and district municipalities in Turkey. Especially in recent years, municipalities in this region, with the effect of the developments in technology and communication, it is seen that they benefit more from technology-based platforms that allow mutual interaction, called e-municipality in the understanding of service delivery, in meeting the local needs of the people. With e-municipality applications, it is aimed that the local people will receive services that are faster, more effective, at low cost and that meet their expectations. However, the spread of these services varies depending on the socio-economic size, infrastructure and financial resources of the municipalities, as well as the support of this issue. With this study, it is aimed to determine the status of provincial and district municipalities in the Black Sea region regarding e-municipal activities. For this purpose, firstly, the subject of e-municipality is discussed theoretically in the study, and then content analyzes to be carried out on the websites of the provincial and district municipalities in the Black Sea region are included. According to the findings obtained from the study, while it is seen that the municipalities in the Black Sea region give increasing importance to e-municipalism applications, it has been concluded that e-municipalism practices differ according to the size of the municipalities as well as the support of the municipal administration in this regard.
