Abstract

This study focuses on the nexus between social sustainability and regional and local development. In handling the issue in question, the work proposes to focus on the role played by regional development agencies in facilitating social sustainability. The study will facilitate the discussion by reviewing the Turkish experience in regional development by reviewing Turkish regional development agencies’ legacy that came on the Turkish regional development discussions in the mid of the very first decade of 2000s. The attempt will be to demonstrate that Turkish RDAs cannot handle mechanisms to deal with problems that appear at social and environmental levels of the notion of social sustainable development.
