Abstract :
The developments that have occurred in economic and social life after the industrial revolution cause the need for house in cities as a result of the migration from rural areas. Since before now, housing in a healthy environment has been an important problem for low-income groups which don’t have the opportunity to obtain a house. This problem is being tried to be solved by especially the government, local administrations, social organizations, and private sector. But these institutions remain incapable to meet the deficit of collective housing, which is caused by rapid urbanization especially in developing countries such as Turkey.Until the 1980s, the attempts of municipalities and social organizations have not remedied a radical solution to the problem of collective housing. Therefore, the government made the law number 2985 in 1984 and began to play an active role in meeting the need for housing. Housing development fund, which was constituted with this law, enabled the housing development administration fund raising. Public Housing and Public Participation Administration, which was also founded with the same law, went into division in 1990 and Housing Development Administration of Turkey (TOKİ) was constituted. Especially with the arrangements made after the year 2003, TOKİ has become one of the leading actors of the housing sector in our country. Hence, it has built 500 thousand houses in the last decade.Considering the population density of the province, it is remarkable that TOKİ has built a great amount of buildings in Erzincan. Within the proince, especially in Erzincan Plain, a great majority of about 8000 houses have been completed by TOKİ. By this study, it is aimed to set forth the effects of the activities of TOKİ on the sectors of urbanization, infrastructure, illegal housing prevention, urban renewal, transportation, agriculture and construction.
