Living Labs finds the ability to find solutions to problems that arise in cities, to implement original projects and to test existing projects. At the same time, financing, entrepreneurship and design support are provided to the project owners who are entitled to be supported in the life labs. In living labs, a network is organized in which citizens, local, national, international and global companies, non-governmental organizations, local and central governments, think tanks work in cooperation. The main purpose of the study is to provide a conceptual reflection on living labs and to evaluate its role in strengthening governance. Bodrum and Başakşehir Living Labs were chosen as the sample. The aims of the establishment of these two members, the strategic areas they have determined, the projects they have realized or planned, the events and competitions, and the collaborations they have established have been examined.

LIVING LABS EXPERIENCES IN TURKEY: EXAMPLES OF BAŞAKŞEHİR AND BODRUM

Öz

Yaşam laboratuvarları, kentlerde ortaya çıkan sorunlara çözüm bulma, özgün projeleri hayata geçirme ve mevcut projeleri test etme becerisine sahiptir. Aynı zamanda yaşam laboratuvarlarında destek almaya hak kazanan proje sahiplerine finansman, girişimcilik ve tasarım desteği sağlanmaktadır. Yaşam laboratuvarında vatandaşlar, yerel, ulusal, uluslararası ve küresel şirketlerin, sivil toplum kuruluşlarının, yerel ve merkezi yönetimlerin, düşünce kuruluşlarının işbirliği içinde çalıştığı bir ağ düzenlenir. Çalışmanın temel amacı, yaşam laboratuvarlarının kavramsal bir yansıma sağlamak ve yönetişimin güçlendirilmesindeki rolünü değerlendirmektir. Bodrum ve Başakşehir Yaşam Laboratuvarları örneklem olarak seçilmiştir. Bu iki aktif üyenin kuruluş amaçları, belirledikleri stratejik alanlar, gerçekleştirdikleri veya planladıkları projeler, etkinlikler ve yarışmalar ile kurdukları işbirlikleri incelenmiştir.
