Abstract (2. Language): 
The paper mainly focuses on the institutional performance of İzmir Development Agency (İZKA) for İzmir Regional Plan 2010-2013 activities. Main objective of the research has been to assess the extent of İZKA’s performance for the implementation of Regional Plan in the context of its organizational structure. Theoretical findings indicated that institutional settings have played significant roles in shaping regional development. In this sense, this study relates to two bodies of literature, i.e. institutional theories and their transition to regional development field. Clearly institutional approaches have attracted considerable attention for the last three decades. Although a great deal of views offered broad and complex definitions, institutions were mostly expressed through two interconnected forces comprising in formal, i.e. laws, rules, regulations, organizations as well as informal, i.e. human behaviour, social norms, community actions, conventions. Even though the contents of institutions evolve under changing conditions, through space and over time, Scott (1995, 2004) follows up a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary way by considering institutions under three elements, i.e. regulative, normative and cognitive. While regulative elements mostly reflects formal sides of institutions, normative and cognitive elements mostly emphasizes social obligations in accordance with informal aspects. According to this approach, most economists and those constitute rationalist approaches to institutional theory dominate the regulative side of institutions (Mayer, 2003; North, 1990; Scott, 2004) whereas recent sociologists, political scientists and those who approach this issue from other disciplines emphasize the cognitive and normative sides (Amin and Thrift, 1995; Morgan, 1997; Scott, 1998, 83-8; Lakshamanan and Button, 2009).
Abstract (Original Language): 
Dünyadaki gelişmelere paralel olarak bölgesel politika sorunu Türkiye’nin gündeminde önemli bir konu haline gelmiştir. Bununla birlikte, plan ve proje gibi politik araçlar her bölgenin kendi dinamiğine göre aşağıdan yukarıya kurumsal oluşumu dikkate almada yetersiz kaldığı için; bu gibi politik çabaların uygulanmasında düşük performans sergilemiştir. Avrupa entegrasyonu, Türkiye’nin yüksek merkeziyetçi yapısı üzerine olumlu etki yapmıştır. Böylece Türkiye, kurumsal reformlar kapsamında bir dizi değişiklik yaşamıştır. Bu konuyla ilgili olarak ilk önce AB’nin istatistiki bölgelerine uygun İBBS sınıflandırması yapılmış, sonrasında ise; Kalkınma Ajansları, Kalkınma Ajanslarının Kuruluşu ve Görevleri Hakkında Kanunla Düzey 2 bölgeleri temelinde kurulmuştur. Böylece, Türkiye tarihinde ilk defa bölgesel düzeyde kurumsallaşmaya yönelik adımlar atılmaya başlamıştır. Kurumsal yapılanma sürecinde elde edilen deneyimlerin ardından, bu çalışma; bölge planı faaliyetlerinde mevcut Kalkınma Ajansının kurumsal performansını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Kurumsal altyapı açısından Kalkınma Ajanslarının bölge planına ilişkin nasıl performans gösterdiklerini açıklamada İzmir Kalkınma Ajansı (İZKA) çalışma alanı olarak seçilmiştir. Bu amaca ulaşmak için araştırma iki aşamalı olarak kurulmuştur. İlk olarak kurumsal performansı etkileyen faktörler belirlenmiştir. İkinci olarak İZKA bu faktörler üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. İzmir 2010-2013 Bölge Planının uygulanmasında İZKA’nın kurumsal performansını değerlendirmek adına derinlemesine görüşmeler yoluyla nitel araştırma metodu kullanılmıştır. Buna ek olarak; dökümü yapılmış metinler üzerindeki söylem analizi ikincil veri olarak araştırmaya dahil edilmiştir.
