The administrative organization of the Republic of Türkiye is organized in accordance with the principles of centralization and decentralization. Local administrations, which have an important place among decentralized organizations, include special provincial administrations, municipalities, and villages. However, due to various reasons such as industrialization, agriculture, and tourism, population is concentrated in certain cities of the country compared to other places. In densely populated cities, continuous provision of many public services requires a special management style compared to cities with lower population density. Therefore, provision “special administrative arrangements may be introduced by law for larger urban centers” was added to Article 127 of the Constitution. Special administrative form mentioned in the article has been embodied in the administrative organization of the Republic of Türkiye as a metropolitan municipality. In provinces where metropolitan municipalities are established, a two-stage administrative form is constituted in the form of metropolitan municipalities and district municipalities. Overlaps and conflicts may arise between metropolitan municipalities and district municipalities in terms of both their areas of activity and duties they are obliged to perform. Zoning planning and zoning supervision are some of the most controversial areas in practice, because metropolitan municipalities are granted various powers in order to ensure coordination and harmony and to allow public services to be provided as required. However, in the fifth paragraph of Article 127 of the Constitution, administrative tutelage is regulated as an authority that central administration holds over local administrations. In this article, legal nature of relationship between metropolitan municipalities and district municipalities is examined. In this context, authorities granted to metropolitan municipalities by Law No. 5216, both in the preparation of zoning plans and in the supervision of district municipalities’ zoning practices, are analyzed from a legal perspective.
