Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background and aim – The management plan regulates the management practice, the purpose and
method of use, the fees, and other matters about Facility Management (FM) in Turkey. In practice, the
contractors regulate the management of residential buildings by submitting a printed text to the title
deed, and it causes management problems in FM. Although it is possible to change the management
plan later, providing this quorum in a collective structure consisting of thousands of independent
sections is difficult since a 4/5 qualified majority is foreseen.
Methods / Methodology – This study examined different management plans used in residential
buildings and determined the contract deficiencies. Qualitative data was obtained through the survey
with 29 managers and 660 residents. In addition, judicial decisions were examined, and the effects of
the regulations in the management plan on FM were discussed.
Results – In practice, it is observed that a uniform management plan is prepared for all residential
buildings, regardless of their type and needs. It has been found that there are many disputes, especially
on issues such as the management of common areas, renting, collection of dues and taking
management decisions. These cases take a very long time and are very costly. Being meticulous during
the preparation of the management plan solves the problems that may arise later to a great extent.
Originality – In addition to theoretical knowledge, the study differs from other studies in that it is
supported by a survey and is an interdisciplinary study of law and FM.
