Özet:

One of the most important realities of Turkey, the problems brought by intense urbanization, is the harmonization of people from different regions of the country and some of them from different cultures internalized in thousands of years in the urban identity and ensuring that they live together. For Izmir, which is one of the most and long-term migration cities in the country, the success that will bring important and lasting achievements in the city life is to provide cultural harmony by bringing the city residents to Izmir before all their personal differences and creating opportunities to transform this harmony into the cultural wealth of the city. At this point, one of the elements that will facilitate the process from the point of view of the residents and managers of the city is the cultural institutions defined as information centers (museums, archives, libraries) in general. The most common and well-known kind of social and cultural institutions in our country are without a doubt public libraries. The library, which is also among the actors that ensure the continuity of the past-today-future connection, is the common memory of the society in which it is part. When considered in the city, this memory is the common memory of those living in this city along with Izmir. The centuries of the cultural adventure, which is the product of the rich and rooted social life of Izmir and its surroundings, is not only important for the city, but also for the identification and correct understanding of the places in the past-day-future equation of the civilizations found bodies in these territories. The main role of the public libraries on the city, which is one of the widespread information centers that preserves the city, the city culture, the city, in a way the country, the source of information, the portor of information and facilitates its sharing at the social level, begins at this point. This study aims to reveal the influence of the public libraries among the social-cultural institutions of Izmir, which is one of the cities with the most colourful cultural range in our country from a geographical, cultural, social and ethnic point of view and the influence of these institutions on the city culture. More information and information sources will express the cultural production and sharing of the competent institutions and the relationship that will be established between the city, the development of suggestions in the point of turning the city into cultural wealth will be the final goal and the main outcome of the study. In the framework of the study, all public libraries that are open to the use of the city residents in the city's central districts and have the obligation to provide priority services to the different user focuses have first been given general information, then the relationship of these centers with the city identity, the city culture and urban awareness has been scattered. In this context, the public libraries that serve the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in the 11 central districts of the city, as well as the public libraries that operate under the responsibility of local governments, constitute the limitations of work. In order to establish the correct relationship of the information found in the research established with the semi-structured image management with the city history and the city culture; the city, the information center, the information services, the city culture and the social life reflection comparisons have been made. The study will be achieved to the extent that the public libraries will pay attention to the marked responsibility, and that it will contribute to the development of personal, corporate and urban expectations in this direction and to the realization of the importance of culture in the city of Izmir in all aspects of health and growth.
