Özet:

Childhood is considered an important and sensitive period of human life. In this sensitive period, the expansion of the possibilities for the child’s biological, psychological and social development becomes important. In this study, the municipalities, which are committed to building the social dimension of the cities, and in particular the Municipality of Esenler, have examined the activities that are being carried out towards children. In this context, literary scan and local administration, municipality and social municipality concepts have been scaned, document analysis methods have been examined and obtained by the municipalities’ activities reports for 2016 and the activities reports of the last 5 years (2012-2016) of the Municipality of Esenler. On the other hand, interviews were conducted with five municipal workers who conducted activities aimed at children in the Municipality of Esenler. The study found that many activities in the fields of environmental arrangements for children, culture, art, sport, education, health and social assistance are carried out by municipalities. It is clear that many of these works are also carried out by the Esenler Municipality and that applications such as the child street and grandfather-torun center, which are the first to be in Turkey, are applied by the Esenler Municipality.
