Abstract

Turkish society
in Germany, has established several civil society organisations (CSO) spreaded
to almost all regions of the country, and has built an active sivil society
life in more than 50 years. Recent agendas of Germany and Turkey have brought
Turkish society and its organisations into a much more important position
compared to past. Nevertheless, any field research intending to comprehensively
profile Turkish  CSOs in Germany or in
any of its states, is not visible in the literature. The aim of this
study is to profile Turkish organisations operating in Federal State Bavaria
based on some internal factors. Qualitative and quantitative research methods
that included in‐depth interviews and questionnaire distribution were
used.  96 CSOs, having 13.049 registered
members, and generating 2447 activities on a yearly basis, have participated in
this research. Most of them are established before the year 2000 and half of
them are a member of a roof  organisation. Top three most frequently performed activities
by these organisations are; representation activities-contacting with institutions,
internal meetings with members, and organizing activities such as conferences,
respectively. Based on findings, several areas that need improvement at
internal environment were found.

ALMANYA’DAKİ TÜRK SİVİL TOPLUM KURULUŞLARININ BAZI İÇ ÇEVRE FAKTÖRLERİ AÇISINDAN GÖRÜNÜMÜ: BAVYERA EYALETİNDEKİ TÜRK DERNEKLERİ ARAŞTIRMASI

Abstract

Almanya’da
yaşayan Türk toplumu, 50 yılı aşan bir zaman içerisinde Almanya’nın neredeyse her
bölgesine yayılmış dernekler kurarak, aktif bir sivil toplum hayatı inşaa
etmiştir. Gerek Almanya’daki gerekse Türkiye’deki mevcut gündemler,
Almanya’daki Türk toplumunu ve derneklerini geçmiş dönemlere kıyasla çok daha
önemli bir pozisyona getirmiştir. Buna rağmen literatürde hem Almanya genelinde
hem de eyaletler bazında Türk derneklerinin profillerini detaylı bir şekilde ortaya
koyan herhangi bir saha araştırmasıyla karşılaşılmamaktadır. Bu
çalışmanın amacı, Almanya’nın Bavyera eyaletinde faaliyette bulunan Türk derneklerinin
görünümlerini bazı iç faktörler itibariyle ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada, konunun
uzmanlarıyla mülakatlar ve dernek temsilcileriyle anket şeklinde kalitatif ve
kantitatif araştırma teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Ankete, kayıtlı üye sayıları
toplamı 13.049 ve çoğunluğu 2000 yılı öncesinde kurulmuş olan, yıl bazında
toplam 2447 faaliyet üreten 96 dernek katılmış olup, derneklerin yarısı bir
başka çatı kuruluşa üyedir. Araştırmaya katılan derneklerce en sık yapılan
faaliyetler olarak kurumlarla görüşmeler ve temsil faaliyetleri, üyelere
yönelik iç toplantılar, ve konferans, söyleşi, vb. etkinlikler ifade
edilmiştir. Bulgular incelendiğinde derneklerin iç yapılarında
iyileştirilmelerin gerektiği çeşitli alanlarla karşılaşılmıştır.
