Journal Title: Journal of Human Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 13, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine the place and coverage of sports in the services of metropolitan municipalities in Turkey. The document analysis technique, which is one of the qualitative research methods, has been used in the study. For this purpose, a research form having 7 structured questions was sent to 30 municipalities that were accepted as 16 metropolitan municipalities in 2014, which is the year the study was conducted. The findings of the study were obtained from 16 metropolitan municipalities which answered to the research form. According to the findings, the sportive activities of the metropolitan municipalities are mainly realized as playground and facility investments, and there are no sufficient activities and data due to the conversion that was caused by the abolishment of Special Provincial Administrations and the Law 6360. On the other hand, in the municipalities that were established before the Law 6360, it is observed that there are sportive organizations intended for the participation of different age groups in different branches as well as investments on playgrounds and facilities. According to the findings, there is a conversion in Turkey about sportive organizations on the centralization and localization axis observed to have started from the center moving to the local areas via metropolitan municipalities with the Law 6360 and with the experiences of the metropolitan municipalities that were established before the same law. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de büyükşehir belediye hizmetlerinin içerisinde sporun yerinin ve kapsamının belirlenmesidir. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman analizi tekniği benimsenmiştir. Bu amaçla araştırmanın gerçekleştirildiği 2014 yılında büyükşehir statüsünde olan toplam 30 büyükşehir belediyesine araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanmış ve içerisinde yedi yapılandırılmış soru bulunan araştırma formu gönderilmiştir. Araştırmanın bulguları araştırma formuna cevap veren 16 büyükşehir belediyesinden elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, büyükşehir belediyelerince spor faaliyetlerinin genellikle saha ve tesis yatırımları şeklinde gerçekleştirildiği, il özel idarelerinin kaldırılması ile yaşanan dönüşüm sonucunda ve 6360 sayılı yasa ile kurulan büyükşehir belediyelerinde spora ilişkin henüz yeterli bir faaliyetin ve verinin olmadığı, buna rağmen 6360 sayılı yasadan önce kurulmuş belediyelerde ise saha ve tesis yatırımlarının yanı sıra farklı branşlarda ve farklı yaş gruplarının katılımına yönelik sportif organizasyonların gerçekleştirildiği belirlenmiştir. Bu bulgulara göre, 6360 sayılı yasadan önce kurulmuş olan büyükşehir belediyelerinin deneyimi ve 6360 sayılı yasa ile Türkiye’de merkezileşme ve yerelleşme ekseninde sportif organizasyon konusunda büyükşehir belediyeleri aracılığıyla merkezden yerele doğru bir dönüşüm olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
