Abstract

Geçmişe kıyasla, hizmette yerellik ilkesi 2004 tarihli ve 5216 sayılı Büyükşehir Belediye Kanunu ile 2005 tarihli ve 5393 sayılı Belediye Kanunu'nun uygulanması ile birlikte daha görünür hâle geldi. Yerel yönetimlerde reform adı verilen gelişme ile büyükşehir belediyeleri güçlendirilirken, büyükşehirlerde ilçe belediyelerinin görev ve yetkileri azaltıldı. İlçe belediyelerinin idari gücü nedeniyle büyükşehir belediyeleri neredeyse yerel düzeyde yeni merkezler haline geldi. Bu durum da yerelleşme söylemi gerçekte Türkiye'nin yerel yönetim sisteminde yeni bir merkezileşme hareketine yol açtı. Dahası İl Özel İdareleri'nin kaldırılması ile birlikte büyükşehir belediyelerinin yetki ve görevleri kırsal alanlara doğru genişledi. Böylece yerel yönetimlerde merkezileşme süreci bütün şehir sınırlarını kapsadı. Bu çalışmada iki kademeli büyükşehir yönetim sisteminin uygulandığı büyükşehirlerdeki kendilerini ''yerel yönetimlerin liderleri'' haline getiren merkezileşme eğilimi incelenecektir

THE TENDENCY TOWARDS CENTRALIZATION EXPERIENCED IN THE MANAGEMENT OF METROPOLITAN MUNICIPALITIES IN TURKEY

Abstract

Compared to the past, the subsidiarity principle has become more apparent with the implementation of the Metropolitan Municipality Law No. 5216 in 2004 and the Municipality Law No. 5393 in 2005. While the metropolitan municipalities were empowered with the development called the reform of local governments, the duties and authorities of the district municipalities in metropolitan cities were reduced. Due to the administrative power of the district municipalities, metropolitan municipalities almost became “new centers” at the local level. In case, the discourse of localization actually caused a new centralization movement in the local administration system of Turkey. Moreover, with the abolition of special provincial administrations, the duties and authorities of metropolitan municipalities expanded to rural areas. Therefore, the centralization process in local governments contained all of the city boundaries. In this article, the centralization tendency in the case of metropolitan municipalities that makes them “leaders of local governments” in metropolitan cities where a two-level metropolitan management system is applied will be examined.
