Özet
This study examines the socio-economic and administrative impacts of Law No. 6360, which transformed villages into neighborhoods, focusing on forest villages in Aydın Province. The research combines a literature review of the legal and administrative framework with empirical
data collected through a survey of local residents. The survey assessed participants’ demographic characteristics, their awareness of the law, and perceived changes in village life following its implementation. The findings indicate that the law has positively influenced access to public services and
infrastructure. However, it has also generated challenges, particularly in administrative processes and the loss of villages’ legal identity. While improvements in social and economic conditions were observed overall, limitations persist in administrative efficiency and local economic autonomy.
Additionally, the results reveal that villagers faced difficulties in adapting to the new system, mainly due to insufficient information and limited awareness of the legal changes. These challenges highlight the need for more inclusive transition strategies and effective
communication between authorities and local communities. The study concludes that Law No. 6360 has produced multifaceted impacts—both beneficial and problematic—on rural life. It contributes to a deeper understanding of how legal and administrative reforms affect rural communities and underscores the importance of balancing service provision with local governance needs.
