Özet
Öz: Aralık 2019'da ortaya çıkan COVID-19 salgını ve yarattığı sosyal sorunlar hem ulus devletlerin sosyal politika düzenlemelerini hem de yerel yönetimlerin aktif rolünü etkiledi. Günümüzde belediyeler, refah sağlayan ve ortak ihtiyaçları karşılayan yerel refah sistemindeki en önemli aktörler olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, İstanbul metropol kent düzeyinde, yerel düzeyde küresel bir salgına nasıl yanıt verilebileceğini ele alarak potansiyelleri, kapasiteleri, mücadele alanlarını ve fırsatları ortaya çıkarmak amacıyla doküman inceleme yöntemiyle belediyelerin sosyal politika alanında sunduğu hizmetler refah devleti ve yerel refah perspektifinden değerlendirilmiştir. Bu amaçla İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi ve farklı sosyo-ekonomik ve demografik koşullara sahip olduğu tespit edilen beş ilçe belediyesi incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda belediyelerin yerel yönetimler düzeyinde koruyucu ve önleyici tedbirler aldıkları; bazı sosyal yardım uygulamaları gerçekleştirdikleri ve dezavantajlı gruplara sınırlı sosyal hizmet sundukları tespit edilmiştir. Bulgular, pandemi başlangıcında belediyelerin temel ihtiyaçların karşılanmasına yönelik hizmetlere öncelik verdiği; daha sonraki süreçte teknoloji kullanımında ise (psikolojik danışma, telefonla danışmanlık, video ve canlı internet yayıncılığı ve bilgilendirici seminerler gibi) yeni deneyimler kazanmaya başladıklarını ortaya koymuştur. Bu deneyimlerden elde edilen bilgi ve hizmetlerin sürdürülebileceği öngörülmekle birlikte, belediyelerin kurumsallaşma, gelir ve sosyo-ekonomik gelişme bağlamında sosyal hizmetlerin niteliğinin farklılaştığı tespit edilmiştir.
