Publication: Belediyelerde stratejik yönetim uygulamaları üzerine bir araştırma
Abstract
Dünyadaki gelişmelere paralel olarak Türkiye’de de 2005 yılından itibaren nüfusu 50.000 ve üzerinde olan belediyelere stratejik plan hazırlama yükümlülüğü getirilmiştir. Stratejik yönetim ve belediyelerdeki uygulamalarını konu edinen bu çalışmada İstanbul ilçe belediyelerinden çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden dokuz ilçe belediyesi, stratejik yönetim uygulamaları kapsamında ele alınmış olup, bu uygulamaların etkin olarak yapılıp yapılmadığının araştırılıp ortaya çıkarılması ve yapılması gerekenlerle ilgili somut öneriler sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda stratejik yönetim süreci bütün aşamaları ile ele alınarak araştırmaya katılan ilçe belediyelerinin strateji geliştirme müdürü veya müdür vekilleri ile yapılan mülakatlar sonucunda elde edilen bulgular, içerik analizi yöntemi aracılığıyla “frekans analizi” tekniği kullanılarak yorumlanmıştır. Bulguların analizi ve yorumlanmasıyla elde edilen çıkarımlar sonucunda; belediyelerdeki stratejik yönetim uygulamalarında belli bir tecrübenin oluşmasına rağmen hem birbirinden farklı hem de ortak çeşitli eksikliklerin olduğu ve yeterli düzeyde standardın oluşmadığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca belediyelerde büyük ölçüde benzer çalışmaların yapıldığı, hazırlanan plan ve programların belediyelerin zaten yapmakta olduğu rutin işlerini kapsayan dokümanlara dönüşmekten öteye gidemediği dolayısıyla stratejik yönetim uygulamasının etkin olarak yapılmadığı belirlenmiştir.
In parallel with the developments in the world, since 2005, municipalities with a population of 50,000 and above have been obliged to prepare strategic plans in Turkey. In this study, which focuses on strategic management and its applications in municipalities, nine district municipalities from Istanbul district municipalities that agreed to participate in the study were handled within the scope of strategic management practices, and it was aimed to investigate and reveal whether these practices were carried out effectively and to present concrete suggestions about what should be done. In this direction, the strategic management process was handled with all its stages and the findings obtained as a result of the interviews with the strategy development manager or deputy directors of the district municipalities participating in the research were interpreted using the frequency analysis technique through the content analysis method. As a result of the inferences obtained from the analysis and interpretation of the findings; Although there is a certain experience in strategic management practices in municipalities, it has been seen that there are various deficiencies that are both different from each other and common and that there is not a sufficient level of standard. In addition, it has been determined that similar studies have been carried out in municipalities to a large extent, that the plans and programs prepared cannot go beyond turning into documents covering the routine works of the municipalities, so the strategic management practice is not carried out effectively.
