Democratic Elections

İstanbul, Zeytinburnu
Zeytinburnu Municipality actively engaged the citizen in the planning process for a new sports facility within the district. In a proactive move, the municipality conducted a comprehensive survey to gauge the preferences and aspirations of the community regarding the upcoming sports facility. This citizen-centric approach allowed the public to express their desires regarding the specific sports branches they wished to see incorporated into the facility. The survey, serving as a conduit for direct citizen involvement, played a pivotal role in shaping the blueprint of the sports facility. Subsequently, the planning and design of the sports facility were aligned with the insights and demands voiced by the community members. This transparent and participatory process not only ensured that the sports facility met the genuine needs of the residents but also fostered a sense of ownership among the local community.
