Evaluating The Role of the Ombudsman Institution in the Oversight of Public Administration in Türkiye: A Mixed-Methods Study

Öz

This study evaluates the role of the Ombudsman Institution in overseeing public administration in Türkiye, using a mixed-methods approach based on qualitative and quantitative data. It examines how far the Institution fills gaps in existing oversight mechanisms, how public bodies respond to citizen applications, and how effective it is compared with other oversight actors. A literature review traces its historical development, structure and functions, while statistical data from annual reports for 2013–2023 are analyzed and presented with graphs. The findings show that the Institution protects citizens’ rights in administrative decision-making, promotes legal compliance and strengthens the accountability of public institutions. The high rate of implementation of its recommendations by public bodies enhances its legitimacy and effectiveness. The study concludes that, with improvements in its legal mandate, the Ombudsman could become a more functional mechanism of public control and that it already plays a complementary and transformative role in promoting transparency and accountability.
