Today, as in the private sector, local governments also adopt an effective and efficient service delivery approach in terms of services provided to citizens. This approach should also be adopted by planning units in local governments regarding planning processes. To produce more effective and high performance development plans that guide us at every stage of life such as living spaces, working areas, equipment areas, transportation, infrastructure, social and cultural life of citizens living in cities, we need to understand which factors positively or negatively affect the planning processes and their degree of influence the processes. Determining how it affects the planning processes in local governments and the thoughts of the personnel working in the planning units regarding this issue will improve the planning units and enable them to work more effectively by focusing on the right points. Economy/budget and technology, transparency and participation, information sharing and coordination, which are among the factors affecting the efficiency and performance of the planning process, affect the performance of the processes, and each factor should be examined in line with these parameters and their current situation should be examined on the basis of municipalities. In this context, a survey was conducted on Ankara Metropolitan Municipality, Altındağ Municipality, Çankaya Municipality, Elmadağ Municipality and Yenimahalle Municipality to determine which factors affect the planning process more according to the staff working in the planning units and which factors are sufficient and which are insufficient in their institutions.
