Village Law No. 3367 and Village Settlement Related to its Plan Applications: Example of Osmaniye Dereli Village

Abstract

The basic regulation regarding the management of villages is the Village Law of 1924. In this Law, the village; It is defined as a settlement with a population of less than two thousand, consisting of people living in collective or scattered houses with common goods such as mosques, schools, pastures, pastures, coppices, together with their vineyards, gardens and fields. The village administration is a local administrative unit formed by the voters in order to meet the local common needs of the village people. As of 2021, the number of villages in our country is 18,211. Although there is a general framework of the law described above, it is not exactly the case. As it is known, the concept of ownership in rural settlements is subject to slightly more stringent rules than the concept of ownership in urban life. In order to deliver the necessary infrastructure facilities at an affordable cost, the village settlement must be gathered at a collective point and operated in accordance with a plan. However, such a planning within the village borders, within the framework of the Zoning Law No. 3194, will cause great costs both in the construction and implementation phase, and it will take many years to reach the intended regular settlement due to the failure of the sale of the parcels to be made by the villagers. Thanks to the articles introduced in addition to the law numbered 3367, in case of applying the provisions of the law numbered 3194 to the parcels located within the borders of the village (pasture, field, etc.) owned by the public (pasture, field, etc.). The aim of this study is to offer regular new settlements that will meet the needs of people. In this study, the study carried out in Osmaniye Province Dereli Village is exemplified. Institutionally, the Special Provincial Administration, the Environment and Urbanization directorate, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry will be informed about the results of correspondence and the settlement plan of the Village Settlement Area Detection Commission will be carried out.
