With the reforms carried out in the field public administration in the early 2000s, almost all laws concerning local administrations were amended in Turkey, except for those related with village administrations. The basic principles, on which the amendments were based, fall into the scope of the theoretic approaches referred to as the new public administration and new public management. By their essence, in these approaches it is argued that public administration should be structured pursuant to the principles of clarity, transparency, effectiveness, efficiency and democratic participation.

In the present study the level of participation to municipality administration is tried to be determined by examining the strategic plans prepared by a total of 46 municipalities in Turkey, as 25 Government Municipalities and 21 Opposition Municipalities
