KARABURUN BELEDİYESİ WEB SİTESİ

Civil society is not yet very much developed in Karaburun. The reasons for this are manifold: i.e. the aging of its population due to emigration for economical reasons and the fact that the people who are “better off” spend a great part of the year in Izmir. However the last years, Karaburun has been stage to the development of a number of civil platforms, associations and co-operatives. On this page you will only find those associations etc. who have been officially set up.

The Chamber of craftsmen and artisans, is the only professional organization represented in Karaburun.

KARABURUN PENINSULA LOCAL AGENDA 21

Like in many countries all over the world, a group of socially conscious persons created the Local Agenda 21 platform in order to contribute to local administration of the region and to have a voice in the administrative structures of the Peninsula. This resulted into the set-up of the Karaburun Peninsula City Council, of which the regional authorities as well as the Municipalities of Karaburun and Mordogan are part. On every first Saturday of the month, the Council gathers to discuss one or the other theme and important issues. Through its working groups, the Council develops several projects and activities. The Municipality of Karaburun has made an office available, where volunteers made great efforts to install the Local Agenda 21 House, containing a secretariat and a room where the working groups can gather and work on the projects. For more details on the projects and functioning of the Karaburun Peninsula Local Agenda 21 and its working groups you can visit the following web site: http://yerelgundem21.org.tr/.
