Social security system programmes have a major role in preventing poverty and injustice in income distribution in a society as well as in ensuring social peace. Parallel to the changes and developments in Turkey and in the world, needs of the poor have also varied. Applied social aid programmes are considered as one of the last measures to fill the gaps of social security systems. To fulfil these different needs many measures were taken, various legal regulations were acted and many new organizations were established. The subject of this study is to explore historical developments of the state¡¯s social welfare practices at national and local level and their current situation. Injustices in income distribution are considered among the possible factors of deteriorating social peace. Social welfare, at this point, serves as a functional safety measure. %K Sosyal Yard m %K Sosyal G¨¹venlik %K Yoksulluk %K Muhta l k %K Gelir Da l m %K Social Welfare %K Poverty %K Needy %K Social Security %K Income Distribution %U http://www2.bayar.edu.tr/yonetimekonomi/dergi/pdf/C19S22012/133_142.pdf
