Title: Improving State Land Management : Technical Note
Abstract: This document has been produced as part of the work undertaken for the World Bank advisory services and analytics of Land Sector Emerging Issues project for Turkey. One of the development objectives of this project is to provide technical assistance to the government of Turkey in order to identify options to improve the management of public land and property. The study has concentrated on the properties that are the responsibility of General Directorate of National Property (GDNP) and has not examined state or public sector property in the hands of other state bodies or municipalities. Some of the conclusions reached are also likely to be relevant for these, but the focus of the study has been to seek to identify how GDNP can improve the ways in which it manages the properties for which it has responsibility. The report is divided into three main sections. Section 2 describes the General Directorate of National Property and its principal activities. Understanding what GDNP does and how it is organized is a necessary part of identifying the areas in which GDNP might benefit from investment aimed at improving its operations. This information will form an important part of the background to any investment proposal. Section 3 seeks to summarize international good practice in the management of public sector land and property. This provides the basis for evaluating GDNP’s current processes. Section 4 contains conclusions about the issues GDNP faces and Section 5 the recommendations about the areas of its activities which would benefit from investment.
