These negative external factors jeopardize the role/place of disadvantaged groups, including women, in the city. In this context, the importance of urban policy decisions developed and implemented by local governments are significant.</p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;">The aim of this study is to elucidate the position of women in the dimensions of urban sustainability within the context of Sustainable Development Goal 5, which addresses gender equality, based on the approaches and actions of local governments. This study utilizes systematic review and comparative analysis methods conducted with the MAXQDA, with Antalya selected as the sample area, being the 5th metropolitan city in Türkiye. In line with the purpose and methodology, the 10-year (2012-2022) activity reports and practices of Antalya Metropolitan Municipality were examined to identify how women were addressed by local governments in the dimensions of urban sustainability, namely social, physical, and environmental contexts, over the 10-year period. This systematic review and comparative analysis are crucial in identifying policy gaps/shortcomings created by local governments and determining the consistency of women's involvement in urban sustainability dimensions.</p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;">The research indicates that there are various dimensions of urban sustainability, and within the context of gender equality, women are involved in various aspects of the city, undergoing various changes over time. The findings of the study question whether there is a comprehensive approach specific to women in the various-scale practices implemented by Antalya Metropolitan Municipality to achieve sustainability goals. Therefore, the study's results are expected to emphasize the necessity for local governments to adopt an inclusive approach towards women's role in the social, physical, and environmental processes of urban sustainability dimensions in the city.</p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;"><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: Helvetica;">Keywords: Sustainability, Woman in City, Local Governments, Urban Policy, Türkiye</p> |
