Özet

This paper scrutinizes a selection of social design initiatives functional in the last 15 years in Turkey. By aiming to understand the motivations and values, the roles of various stakeholders, the approaches and strategies of involvement and the local requirements on these issues are explored with a critical, locally-based approach. To achieve this, the author conducted semi-structured, face-to-face interviews for thirteen initiatives with various local initiators. Analysis of these interviews was made by template analysis with descriptive and in-vivo coding methods. In final, the paper makes local-based key inferences and recommendations regarding the overall characteristics and involvement procedures of social design applications.
