Villages, which are the most basic unit in the Turkish administrative organization,
have had to constantly cope with problems throughout the history. In addition, the
legal entities of the villages within the metropolitan municipality were terminated with
Law No. 6360 and they were transformed into neighborhoods. This transformation
has had financial, social, administrative, structural, and political effects on the
villages. The financial responsibilities imposed on the villages by the Law No. 6360
caused the villagers to leave their settlements, and the potentials related to agriculture
and animal husbandry in the rural areas could not be utilized. To keep the villagers
in rural areas and to reduce the financial burdens on the villagers, the "rural
neighborhood" status was established. This study aims to reveal the problems that
will be encountered in practice in the settlements that turn from village to
neighborhood and then gain the status of rural neighborhood, by comparing them
with Law No. 6360. The research was designed as a case study, and document
analysis was carried out as a data collection method. The data obtained as a result of
the research were interpreted with the descriptive analysis technique. As a result of
the research, it has been determined that the rural neighborhood arrangement will
increase the inequalities existing in rural areas, create a new dual structure and
partially reduce the financial responsibilities of the villagers.
