It is accepted that public relations emerged systematically and professionalized in the United States. It can be said that public relations is fundamentally effective on two separate concepts: its influence on management activities and its influence on communication activities. Considering these two areas of influence, public relations has been attempted to be interpreted with many different definitions. There are many applications and forms of implementation of public relations. Many institutions in various fields successfully manage processes such as image, reputation, and crisis through public relations practices. Local governments are constitutional entities established within the legal system to meet the common and local needs of people living in communities of various sizes within national borders. Local governments are responsible for meeting the expectations of the local population, ensuring the protection of the natural environment, and fulfilling many responsibilities, such as. determining the needs of the public and the environment, seeing their reflection in the public, and announcing their actions. In doing so, they conduct public relations activities aimed at identifying the needs of the public and the environment, fulfilling their responsibilities, and making their actions known. They can benefit from many public relations practices in this regard. In this context, public relations in the study, public relations practices, and public relations practices used in local governments have been examined by taking the example of Beşiktaş Municipality's public relations activities.
