There are three main problems related to social technical infrastructure in Turkish settlements: their site selection in local plans, the provision and implementation and sustainability of social and technical infrastructure areas. Problems about site selection in local plans and the provision emerged as a result of the adoption of neoliberal policies. Problems about implementation and sustainability of social and technical infrastructure areas can arise with plan changes and plan notes. The paper is focused on the third problem. That is, the paper aims to analyze how social and technical infrastructure areas were used for out of purpose on Istanbul case. For this, plan changes in the last ten years are examined. The findings are important for the holistic evaluation of social and technical infrastructure in urban areas.ensocial and technical infrastructureprovisionimplementationIstanbulTurkeyArticle2985-2996
