Özet:

Today's democratic regimes are trying to move from the management approach, which is seen as consisting of the determination of representatives through elections, to the governance approach, which envisages the active participation of the people in the administration, decision-making mechanisms and practices outside the elections, and to popularize this understanding. The implementation of the city council is a product of efforts to pave the way for the active participation of the public in decision-making mechanisms, to take steps to guide the public in this regard, and to implement incentive mechanisms in this direction. City councils, in line with the governance approach, aim for civil society to identify their own problems and express their demands. This study is in an effort to identify the obstacles and problems of the implementation of the city council in the realization of the objectives concerned, based on the example of the Ardahan City Council. The work was carried out by a deep interview with the Ardahan City Council chairman, former chairman and members.
