Abstract:

As a result of the post-industrial revolution period, the changing social cultural structure obliged states to create new institutions. As a result of the rapid migration from the village to the city, the population balance between the village and the city has deteriorated considerably and the cities have started to become uninhabitable. One of the biggest factors that made the cities uninhabitable was the chaos of service at the point of who would do the urban services. The West, who has tried to find long-term workarounds to this problem, decided that it was insufficient to produce services with workarounds and decided to establish a local government. The process is similar but not as a historical development of local governments has followed a similar process in Turkey. In other words, the developments in the West and in particular the legal regulations in France have been followed to form an Ottoman local government model. One of the biggest indicators of this is the Sixth Region (altıncı daire-i belediye). The name of the Sixth Region, established in the most developed regions of Istanbul, is inspired by Sixieme Arrondissment (Sixth Region), where the most distinguished and modern sections of Paris, where Ottoman bureaucrats lived for a while, lived during the Tanzimat period. In this study, it will be tried to reveal the similarities between the Altıncı Daire established in Beyoğlu and Galata regions and the Sixieme Arrondissment in Paris by focusing on the Ottoman reflections of French local government regulations.
