Local Governments in Terms of Objectives and Policies: Comparative Analysis of the Tenth and Eleventh Development Plans

Abstract

Active and efficient provision of public services depending upon the social demands are the primary objectives of the institutions. Existing institutions have not always been successful in the foreseen objectives. Changes experienced in the economic, social, political, informatics, etc. fields have created serious problems for the functioning of institutions. Democracy practices, which have gone into a stalemate in the current ruler-ruled relationships, have remained incapable of solving the problems. The joint action of the public sector, the private sector and the local elements have been identified as an option to overcome the problems. In the solution of social, global and regional problems, the instrument of democracy and participation has been highlighted. In terms of universal governance, the fundamental application field for the participation and democracy practices is the local governments. In our country, local governments with respect to institutional approach emerged with Tanzimat reforms. Local governments were also affected by the reforms made with the proclamation of the Republic (especially in municipalities) and legal-institutional changes were realized. Local governments had started to be comprehensively taken into hand with the planned development period. Administrative, financial problems of local governments, urbanization and village development came to the forefront. With the relations established with the European Union, the concepts of democracy and participation were reflected more effectively to the local governments. In the process, modern management tools were attempted to be applied on the local level: governance, autonomy, accountability, strategic planning, performance management, etc. Moreover, financial and administrative problems related to local governments were brought forward by the central government, but no satisfactory solutions were produced. In Turkey, ten development plans have been prepared since 1963 and the 11th plan came into force on July 23, 2019. In terms of content, development plans set targets for all sectors and problem areas. Development plans prepared in our country included policies and targets related to local governments. In our study, the last two plans are discussed periodically: the tenth and eleventh plans. The relevant plans are discussed in terms of the policies and objectives they envisage for local governments. 11th the development plan content includes references to past plans and reforms that were envisaged for metropolitan cities. Topics such as people-oriented city, green city, smart city, participation, transparency, accountability, etc. were also included. All these approaches indicate that the changes regarding the local governments will continue in the 11th Plan period.
