An Evaluation for the Organisation of Social Services on Local Administrations

Abstract

Social services in which disadvantageous individuals and communities are primary are actually defined as all services provided to solve socio-economic problems faced by each member of a society. Therefore, in many countries from the identification to implementation of these services, centralized administration has primarily been responsible for all these steps. However, From the 1980s onward, as a result of ideas of globalization and localization with neo-liberal policies, local administrations have also begun to take place in the implementation of these services. Through reforms developed from these changes, one of the countries that authorize local administrations for social services is Turkey. Soon after the reforms in public administration in the early 2000s, municipalities have been significantly authorized for social services and they have operated services through their own organizational forms. However, it was found that the organization of social services by municipalities, though it's an important service domain which centers individuals, is out of specific standards and thus service departments are complicated within the organization. From this aspect, the study aims to evaluate the organizational formations of social service departments of metropolitan municipalities in Turkey.
