NEW PROSPECTS IN HOUSING DEVELOPMENT THROUGH TOKİ's INNOVATIVE FINANCIAL AND TECHNICAL MECHANISMS

AGRICULTURAL PRODUCER-VILLAGES PROJECT

The aim of this project is to create "model, exemplary" rural settlements, which are livable, which have the necessary adequate infrastructure, adequate housing and social and economic facilities, and which have the similar conditions that cities can offer to its residents. The project takes into account the socio-economic conditions of the region where the project is implemented and the project is formulated accordingly.

The project has three basic objectives;

to create model rural settlements with all the modern infrastructure and social facilities;
to encourage agricultural production and to promote the settlement in areas of rural production;
to prevent rural-to-urban migration.

This project is implemented in two methods. The first method is carried out in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture. In this method, TOKİ plays the project planner and implementation role where Ministry of Agriculture identifies the places and the households to benefit from this project according to the related regulations, esp. Settlement Law, No: 2510. As a second method, TOKİ directly identifies the places where this project can be implemented according to its own housing development and housing provision criteria.
