Özet:

Local governments are public bodies, which live in a specific geographical area, established to meet the common needs of the local community, decision-making bodies, selected by the local people, with administrative and financial autonomy. In general, in the world, local governments recognize both service effectiveness and democratic governance as the management stage in which it is carried out. Local effective and participatory democratic governance is realized by an understanding that citizens and civil society organizations are involved in the process of governance. The topics that are highlighted in the new legal regulations for local governments in Turkey after the 2000s are the making of institutional and political regulations that will enable civil society organizations to participate in the management process. In local legislation, Strategic Planning gives the opportunity to participate in the local governance process of civil society organizations through local councils, local councils, special committees and volunteer services.
