Abstract:

 Developments such as urbanisation, population growth, global warming, aging of the population and increasing health problems have increased the responsibilities of municipalities. In parallel with social state practices, the concept of social municipalism is becoming more widespread. As of today, municipalities carry out social municipal activities such as green areas, sports facilities, elderly care centres, vocational training activities in addition to their classical duties such as cleaning, public transportation, water and sewerage. Municipalities have started to fulfil brand new duties and responsibilities in order to take into account the demands of the society and to win re-elections. Municipalities in Turkey are in a race in terms of social municipalism. Konya Metropolitan Municipality offers a wide range of services in terms of social municipalism. Konya Metropolitan Municipality carries out activities in various fields such as disabled care, vocational courses, soup kitchens, elderly care, serving young people in the fields of culture and sports. In this study, social municipalism activities of Konya Metropolitan Municipality are explained.

 Kentleşme, nüfus artışı, küresel ısınma, nüfusun yaşlanması, artan sağlık sorunları gibi gelişmeler belediyelerin sorumluluklarını artırmıştır. Sosyal devlet uygulamalarına paralel olarak sosyal belediyecilik anlayışı da giderek yaygınlaşmaktadır. Bugün itibariyle belediyeler temizlik, toplu ulaşım, su ve kanalizasyon gibi klasik görevlerinin yanında yeşil alanlar, spor tesisleri, yaşlı bakım merkezleri, mesleki eğitim faaliyetleri gibi sosyal belediyecilik faaliyetleri de yürütmektedirler. Hem toplumdan gelen talepler, dikkate almak ve hem de tekrar seçimleri kazanmak için belediyeler yepyeni görev ve sorumlulukları yerine getirmeye başlamışlardır. Türkiyedeki belediyeler sosyal belediyecilik konusunda adeta yarış halindedirler. Konya Büyükşehir Belediyesi sosyal belediyecilik anlamında çok çeşitli hizmetler sunmaktadır. Konya Büyükşehir Belediyesi sosyal belediyecilik anlamında engelli bakımı, meslek edindirme kursları, aşevleri, yaşlı bakımı, kültür ve spor alanlarında gençlere hizmet verme gibi çok çeşitli alanlarda faaliyetler yürütmektedir. Bu çalışmada Konya Büyükşehir Belediyesinin sosyal belediyecilik faaliyetleri anlatılmaktadır.
