Since the last quarter of the 20th century, humanity has been witnessing the final political-economic and social transformation in history. Matters related to the issues such as planning, city, urban management have been identified for reconsideration. Adopting the concept of an entrepreneurial state instead of a welfare state led to a change in the planning paradigm of this transformation process that began in the mid-1970s and affected the entire world. In this framework, instead of the top-down planning approach, in an approach where the idea of participatory planning based on communicative rationality and that cares about the locality and supports the collaborative planning is adopted and put into practice, in thec context of a horizontal hierarchy. In Turkey, experiences within the context of participatory planning approach are varied. One of the most up-to-date of these experiences is the 1/100,000 scaled Mersin Environment Plan, which is an upper-scale plan produced for the entire Mersin, approved by the Mersin Metropolitan Municipality on 10.10.2016. The aim of this study is to contribute to the plans by transferring the participation experience gained in the process of creating the Mersin Environmental Plan. This study, which is limited to the participation section of the Mersin Environment Plan, includes findings on the process of participation. The success of the process is assessed under the headings of performance indicators such as equality, knowledge, method, and responsibility, and it is discussed via a descriptive approach.

Keywords: Participation process, participatory planning, Mersin�environmental plan.

20. y�zy�l�n son �eyre�inden ba�layarak g�n�m�ze kadar ge�en d�nemde insanl�k tarihindeki son politik-ekonomik ve toplumsal d�n��me tan�kl�k edilmektedir. Bu vetirede planlama disiplini, kent, kent y�netimi bi�imi vb. konularla ilgili hususlar�n, yeniden ele al�nmas� g�ndeme gelmi�tir. 1970�li y�llar�n ortas�ndan ba�layarak ya�anan ve b�t�n d�nyay� etkileyen bu d�n��m s�recinde Keynezci y�netim (welfare state) anlay�� yerine Giri�imci y�netim (entrepreneurial state) anlay��n�n benimsenmesi, planlama paradigmas�n�n da de�i�imine neden olmu�tur. Bu �er�evede yukar�dan a�a��ya kurgulanan planlama yakla��m� yerine; yatay hiyerar�i kapsam�nda yereli �nemseyen, birlikte planlama olgusunu destekleyen, ileti�imsel rasyonaliteye dayal� kat�l�mc� planlama d��ncesinin prati�e d�k�lmesinin �n� a��ld�� bir yakla��m benimsenmektedir. �lkemizde de yukar�da ifade edilen kat�l�mc� planlama yakla��m� kapsam�nda �e�itli deneyimler ya�anmaktad�r. Bu deneyimlerin en g�ncel olanlar�ndan birisi de 10.10.2016 tarihinde Mersin B�y�k�ehir Belediyesi�nce onaylanan, Mersin b�t�n� i�in �retilen, �st �l�ekli bir plan olan 1/100 000 �l�ekli Mersin �l �evre D�zeni Plan��d�r. Bu �al��man�n amac� s�z� edilen plan�n �retilmesi s�recindeki kat�l�m deneyiminin literat�re aktararak, T�rkiye�de kat�l�mc� planlama anlay��yla �retilecek planlar i�in katk� sunmakt�r. Mersin �l �evre D�zeni Plan��n�n kat�l�m b�l�m�yle s�n�rland�r�lan bu �al��mada, kat�l�m s�reci ile s�rece ili�kin bulgulara yer verilmektedir. S�z konusu s�recin ba�ar�s� e�itlik, bilgi, y�ntem ve sorumluluk ba�l�klar� alt�ndaki performans g�stergeleri �er�evesinde de�erlendirilmi� ve betimleyeci bir yakla��mla ele al�nm��t�r.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Kat�l�m s�reci, Kat�l�mc� planlama, Mersin il �evre d�zeni plan�.
