RESILIENT CITIES IN THE AGENDA-SETTING PROCESS OF THE LEGISLATURE

Abstract

Identifying any problem and defining it by policy actors is the first step of the public policy process. Secondly, agenda setting brings with it discussions about when, how and in what way public policy will be implemented. The Turkish Grand National Assembly (TGNA) is one of the most fundamental actors involved in the public policy process. In this study, it is aimed to reveal the political approach of political parties regarding resilient cities in The Turkish Grand National Assembly, which is one of the official policy actors, by classifying them according to The Turkish Grand National Assembly minutes. When the minutes of the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye are examined, the necessity of establishing resilient cities with a supra-political understanding has been accepted in principle. However, the different urban transformation and zoning policies of the political groups in the parliament and the populist understanding of politics cause the boundaries of this understanding to be unclear in the policy-making process. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
