- Abstract
The aim of the study is to evaluate selected metropolitan municipalities in Turkey in the framework of the critical factors affecting the level of social expenditures in local governments and make recommendations to increase the quality and quantity of social expenditures. For this purpose; data on social expenditures of Adana, Ankara, İzmir and Mersin metropolitan municipalities -having different socio-economic indicators- for the 2010-2017 period are used. The strategic plans, performance programs, activity reports and final account plans of metropolitan municipalities are utilized for monitoring social expenditures. Social expenditures are analyzed together with the combination of revenues and the ratio of revenues to expenses. In addition to the financial opportunities affecting social expenditures; central-local relations, the structure of the administrative organization and other factors are taken into consideration. As a result, the level of social expenditures are influenced by budget balance or budget size in the most of selected municipalities. In the same municipalities, the high share of self-revenues in budget revenues does not certainly increase the level of social expenditures. It is also seen that political decisions or changes, planning, administration and organizational structure differentiate the social expenditures.
