**5. Findings**

#### **5.1. Expectations of the youth form local government**

Expectations of the youth form local government are given in **Table 1**.

As can be seen in **Table 1**, youth identified their expectations as regards athletic and cultural, public relations and support services, environmental protection, control and safety, human resources and education:

*"MGA is not used by the youth as they wish at the moment. MGA must first be opened to the use of us, young people" (6).*

*"Yes, there are sports activities but activities are many sports branches are missing; they have to be increased" (A and H).*

*"It is impossible for us to do sports with our own resources in these living conditions; for this reason municipality must give support to us" (3).*

*"Not enough importance is given to our environment; urbanization and urban architecture is lacking.*

*"We need a forum to create our ideas, projects and activities. Municipality must act as leader and form* 

*"In our country, one of the most important problems is substance abuse which haunts the entire youth. Young people and our parents are not knowledgeable enough; for this reason, family counselling centres* 

*"We do not know how to become spouses when we marry and how to behave to our children; for this reason, there are too many divorces in our country. In addition, we also do not know how to direct our children in their education and career. For this reason, we need a place where we can receive support*

#### **5.4. Evaluating leisure time**

protection, control, and safety; and human resources and education. In this context, youth stated their leading expectations as being able to use MGA, increase in sports activities and higher material support to these activities; developing alternatives for announcing municipal activities, more attention being given to environmental cleaning and introducing dissuasive penalties, building bicycle roads, creating a unit within the municipality through which they could bring to life their projects and wishes, foundation of a family counseling center and providing services toward meeting the knowledge and skill needs of families

When leisure activities are examined, it becomes evident that youth mostly deal with sports activities, spend time with their friends, and give support to social responsibility projects.

In terms of experienced problems, it was found out that they suffered from lack of communication and interest with their families, and marginalization and prejudices with their friends. It has been found out that the youth is not ready in several areas such as harmony, tourism, economy, health, education, religion, and trade if Kapalı Maraş was opened. In terms of readiness of the youth toward solution it was found out that the youth was not ready due to lack of awareness, fears, past experiences, and psychological traumas; in this context, expectations of the youth toward solution were listed as protection of equality, social and economic development, protection of language, religion and ethnic structure, and clarity in guarantees

In order that a state and society can show progress, the youth has to be subjected to a contemporary education based on scientific foundations so that all factors required can become functional. For this reason, it is thought that educational management and school administrators should take the lead in important roles. In addition, it is recommended that state, in cooperation with several public bodies including local governments, has to find commissions on voluntary basis toward youth and give the young people some roles in these commissions so as to prevent discrimination and marginalization and enforce the sense of belonging. At the same time, it is suggested that clubs should be formed within MGA for effective evaluation of leisure time and making contribution to the development of the young people under the leadership of experts. In this context, it is essential that a "Free School" youth education program is created and put into practice within MGA where young people can develop in social, economic, political, physical, educative, professional, psychological, cognitive, and emotional aspects. It is also necessary that a unit should be created which will respond to marginalization, professional direction, communication problems, and sense of belonging needs of the youth, and counselors and other relevant experts should

#### **5.7. Readiness of youth for solution (peace process) and their expectations**

Readiness of youth for solution and their expectations are given in **Table 7**.

As can be seen in **Table 7**, most of the youth confessed that they were not ready for (peace process) solution; in case of a solution, they expected social and economic development, protection of language, religion and ethnic structure, and clarity and equality in guarantee and security issues.

*"We are not ready, we did not forget what we lived in the past, we are not fearless" (5, 7, 22).*

*"I am ready for solution but nothing is clear; they have to be clearer in this" (17).*

*"My expectation must be reaching social and economic welfare and development" (33).*

*"Will we be equal; I think this is the most important issue" (23).*

#### **6. Conclusion and recommendations**

In light of the obtained findings, conclusions are summarized and recommendations are made as follows:

As a result of the data analysis, expectations of the youth are grouped under four headings namely athletic and cultural; public relations and support services; environmental protection, control, and safety; and human resources and education. In this context, youth stated their leading expectations as being able to use MGA, increase in sports activities and higher material support to these activities; developing alternatives for announcing municipal activities, more attention being given to environmental cleaning and introducing dissuasive penalties, building bicycle roads, creating a unit within the municipality through which they could bring to life their projects and wishes, foundation of a family counseling center and providing services toward meeting the knowledge and skill needs of families and young people.

Young people define themselves as unemployed, unhappy, frustrated people far from desired level of success. For these reasons, they see themselves backward compared to other countries in terms of education, working, and material income, and believe that they have no future in this country.

It has been found out that youth recommend education, sports, and environmental projects to be performed in cooperation with local government; they also stated that they needed educative and cultural activities.

When leisure activities are examined, it becomes evident that youth mostly deal with sports activities, spend time with their friends, and give support to social responsibility projects.

In terms of experienced problems, it was found out that they suffered from lack of communication and interest with their families, and marginalization and prejudices with their friends.

In order that a state and society can show progress, the youth has to be subjected to a contemporary education based on scientific foundations so that all factors required can become functional. For this reason, it is thought that educational management and school administrators should take the lead in important roles. In addition, it is recommended that state, in cooperation with several public bodies including local governments, has to find commissions on voluntary basis toward youth and give the young people some roles in these commissions so as to prevent discrimination and marginalization and enforce the sense of belonging. At the same time, it is suggested that clubs should be formed within MGA for effective evaluation of leisure time and making contribution to the development of the young people under the leadership of experts.

It is also necessary that a unit should be created which will respond to marginalization, professional direction, communication problems, and sense of belonging needs of the youth, and counselors and other relevant experts should be employed in this unit.

In this context, it is recommended that in addition to their principal roles, local governments should lead services for keeping the youth out of bad habits, preparing them for the future and ensuring their healthy development in the name of social growth, integration and carrying the society to the future.
