Abstract

The local government reforms in Turkey since 1980 have strengthened the executive wing of municipalities in the personality of mayors. In the framework of this chapter, we shall discuss whether this managerial trend that we observe in the personality of mayors has been valid for other service domains. For this purpose, we shall examine how service provision methods in the delivery of water services, public transport, housing and social aids have evolved over time. Yet, before this, we shall present a rapid overview on the history of local governmental system of Turkey.
