Şehitkamil municipal community engagement

Overview

Şehitkamil Mayor Umut Yılmaz has initiated a series of community engagement activities focused on participatory management and local needs.

In mid-August, the Mayor met with local youth in the Kızıkkarasakal neighborhood to discuss education, sports, culture, and social life. During this ‘Youth Meets, Discusses the Future’ program, Yılmaz stated that the municipality aims to integrate youth perspectives into decision-making so that young people act as “shapers of projects rather than just beneficiaries.”

By late August, the outreach expanded to the Selimiye and Mevlana neighborhoods. Residents raised concerns regarding infrastructure, roads, lighting, cleanliness, and social spaces. Yılmaz reiterated a commitment to identifying problems directly on the ground. He also noted that the municipality provides social assistance to approximately 60,000 families, including the elderly, children, and low-income households, through programs covering economic aid, education, and health.
