DISABILITY IMPLEMENTATIONS OF THE MUNICIPALITIES IN TURKEY IN PERSPECTIVE OF EUROPEAN UNION DISABILITY POLICIES
Öz
When the reforms in Turkish administration system and the alignment with the European Union are analysed, it could be stated that local administration is one of the areas in which a high degree of progress has been made. In the alignment process in this area which accelerated since 2001, starting with the changing of legislation on local administration, the alignment with EU norms is addressed. In this regard, being a social state equally treating all citizens requires that disabled people also are provided with the same rights and opportunities with the other citizens by conducting reforms and improvements in this area. Through the constitutional change in Turkey in 2010, additional rights were bestowed on the disadvantaged groups of disabled people, children and women. In the accession process to the EU, it is significant that further laws on disabled people are adopted and the municipalities facilitate the transportation of the disabled and their accession to local services on their own. In this context, this paper aims to analyze the legal rights bestowed upon the disabled since 2000s in Turkey and the implementations of the municipalities towards these citizens in the EU accession process. In this regard, in this paper, firstly disability policies in the EU are examined and then alignment of Turkish legislation on the rights of the disabled with the EU acquis and implementations towards the disabled are articulated.
