Özet:

 Cooperatives are a structure formed by people who come together voluntarily and are based on cooperation. Cooperatives, which have an important duty in terms of keeping social solidarity, one of the basic values of our country, alive; serve greater purposes by bringing together the knowledge, experience and economic power of their members. The realization of local development, which is one of these purposes, depends on the dedication and harmonious work of the members. Women, who are one of the important actors of local development, not only meet their own economic needs with the womens cooperatives they form by coming together with their individual efforts, but also constitute one of the lifeblood of the countrys economy. This study, which aims to address the role of womens cooperatives in local development in the case of Urla, aims to reveal first-hand the experiences and difficulties experienced by women in working conditions. In addition, the study plans to determine the role of women in local development in the context of womens cooperatives and to question whether they can be a role model for local development in Türkiye Since the elements of cooperatives and local development were to be determined from the perspective of women, the qualitative research method was used as the basic research method in the study and 14 women cooperative members were interviewed. The study concluded that womens membership in co-operatives is based on their desire to gain social benefits, while financial gain is secondary for them.

 Kooperatifler gönüllü olarak bir araya gelen kişilerin oluşturduğu ve yardımlaşmayı esas alan bir yapıdır. Ülkemizin temel değerlerinden olan toplumsal dayanışmayı da yaşatmaları açısından önemli bir görevi olan kooperatifler; üyelerinin bilgi birikimini, deneyimlerini ve ekonomik güçlerini bir araya getirerek daha büyük amaçlara hizmet eder. Bu amaçlardan birisi olan yerel kalkınmanın gerçekleştirilmesi ise üyelerin özverisine ve uyumlu çalışmasına bağlıdır. Yerel kalkınmanın önemli aktörlerinden birisi olan kadınlar ise bireysel çabalarının yanında bir araya gelerek oluşturdukları kadın kooperatifleri ile kendi ekonomik ihtiyaçlarının karşılamalarının yanında ülke ekonomisinin de can damarlarından birini oluşturmaktadır. Yerel kalkınmada kadın kooperatiflerinin rolünü Urla örneğinde ele almayı amaçlayan bu çalışma, kadınların çalışma şartlarındaki deneyim ve tecrübeleri ile yaşadıkları sıkıntıları ilk ağızdan ortaya koymayı hedeflemiştir. Çalışma ile ayrıca kadın kooperatifleri özelinde kadınların yerel kalkınmanın gerçekleşmesindeki rolünün belirlenerek Türkiyede yerel kalkınma için bir rol model olabilme durumunun sorgulanması planlanmıştır. Kadınların gözünden kooperatifçilik ve yerel kalkınma öğelerinin belirlenecek olması nedeniyle çalışmada temel araştırma yöntemi olarak nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmış ve kooperatif üyesi 14 kadın ile görüşülmüştür. Çalışma ile kadınların kooperatif üyeliklerinin temelinde sosyal fayda açısından kazanım elde etmek istemelerinin olduğu, maddi kazancın ise onlar için ikinci planda kaldığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
