Diversification of public services with the increase in population; demand for efficiency and quick turnaround in services; The emphasis on transparency and responsibility towards the public has affected not only central governments, but also local governments and municipalities from local government units. When the socioeconomic and cultural conditions changed the needs of the cities and the people of the city, it became necessary to change in the public administration units and in the municipalities as a part of them. The desire to realize the public interest necessitated reconsideration of strategic goals and objectives, prepared plans and programs and projects according to current conditions. All these have been reflected in the use of resources, income and expenditure balances as necessary elements for the fulfillment of the social municipality understanding. With the strengthening of democracy and the rise in the duties of local governments, municipalities, one of the main actors of this process, gained importance. In this study; It is examined through the example of Büyükçekmece Municipality how the municipalities respond to the changing and increasing demands and conditions by considering the conditions under which the municipalities prepare their budgets while fulfilling their strategic goals and plans, while meeting the demands, and which needs they use.
