Özet:

In previous years, state was thought to control everthing by means of planning, in recent years, it is advanced that state should not intervene in anything and everything should be left to the private sector. But the importance of planning has began to be understood much more with globalization and planning is considered to be a strategic way which may play an important role in overcoming underdevelopment. It is generally accepted that public should enter the areas where the private sector could not enter or should incite private sector towards areas which private sector entrance is very importance. In some countries actual planning is no longer done although a planning agency and planning document exist . Whereas, there are some other countries where there is no planning authority whilst planning is realised in various ways. In this study, public administration and planning practices in some countries will be discussed, with some evaluation and recommendations for Turkey to be presented.
