Ordu Büyükşehir Belediyesi

What Ordu Büyükşehir Belediyesi does

Ordu Büyükşehir Belediyesi is the metropolitan municipality of Ordu Province in Turkey's Black Sea Region, established in its current form in 2012 under Law 6360, which elevated Ordu from a provincial municipality to metropolitan status. The municipality exercises statutory jurisdiction over all 19 districts of Ordu Province (Altınordu, Fatsa, Ünye, Akkuş, Aybastı, Çamaş, Çatalpınar, Çaybaşı, Gölköy, Gürgentepe, Gülyalı, İkizce, Kabadüz, Kabataş, Korgan, Kumru, Mesudiye, Perşembe, and Ulubey) and delivers the full scope of mandated civic services — urban planning, public transportation, fire services, infrastructure, environmental management, social assistance, cultural programming, and agricultural support — to the province's resident population.

Service delivery spans both physical and digital channels. Physical assets include the 22,000 m² solar-powered inter-city bus terminal (340 kWp generation capacity), the Ünye Mechanical Separation Facility (40 tons/hour waste processing), the 34,760 m² Fatsa Slaughterhouse and Livestock Market (60,000 large and 73,000 small livestock annually), the nostalgic tramway, the Boztepe Teleferik cable car, the Şehit Temel Şimşir and Şehit Necati Gürkaya cruise ships, the OBBKT cultural center with two theater stages, two public libraries, three Bilgi Evleri community centers, and a 38-vehicle accessible transit fleet across 9 Altınordu routes. The digital layer consists of the Ordu Açık Veri Portalı (open data platform), the Kent Bilgi Sistemi GIS-based city information system with 18+ integrated map services, the ulakBELL citizen communication management system, an Online İşlemler e-government portal for permits and licenses, the Tahsilat online payment system, the Sosyal Yardım Başvuru online social assistance platform, and the Mobil Vatandaş citizen mobile application on Android and iOS.

The municipality's revenue model is governmental rather than commercial. Funding flows through Turkish central government budget allocations and regulated municipal fees (Ücret Tarifesi) for services such as transportation fares and facility rentals; no commercial revenue is publicly disclosed. Operational execution is delivered in part through nine wholly-owned municipal subsidiaries: OSKİ (water and sewerage), ORBEL (municipal services), AKSA / Aksa Doğalgaz (natural gas distribution), ORTUR (tourism), ORYAZ (printing and publication), OREN (energy), ORTAR (real estate), ORKENT (construction and infrastructure), ORKOM (communications), and Ordu Depoculuk Gıda Tarım Anonim Şirketi (storage, food, and agriculture). Leadership is provided by Mayor Dr. Mehmet Hilmi Güler. Communications with citizens are maintained through the ordu.bel.tr official website, OBB TV municipal television channel, OBB Bülten newsletter, Instagram, SMS and email subscriptions, and physical notice boards.
