social groups are defended by their representatives in the decision making bodies.
The municipal councils can be seen one such channel at the local level. The aim of
this thesis is to explore the municipal councils with reference to their power,
representation channels, and the weight of different groups in it. The profiles of the
local councilors in reference to their education, ethnicity, sex, and class properties
are investigated. In order to explore the above concepts a case study in Denizli
Municipality is carried out. Questionnaires and deep interviews with municipal
council members and municipal stuff are made.
