Abstract :The concept of governance, which was first used by the World Bank in 1989, has attracted considerable attention since then and has become an alternative to the concept of management by changing many elements of the concept of management and adapting it to the new world order and has been used in many organisations, especially public administration institutions. Although the expectation of the governed for an accountable, transparent, audited and held responsible for their actions dates back to very old times, it has become quite dominant especially after the 1970s and has led to the emergence of the new public administration concept. As a result, the concept of governance has been tried to be embedded in public administration institutions such as local governments. This endeavour continues today. Of course, the concept of governance is a concept that aims not only public administration but also civil society organisations, the private sector, non-profit organisations and various organisations to have a say in the administration and advocates that these should also play important roles in the administration and that bureaucracy and its elements should be abandoned. Sustainable development represents an approach to managing resources that takes into account not only the current needs of present societies but also the needs of future generations. The term encompasses the economic, environmental and social spheres and aims to strike a balance between the all-round development of individuals and the protection of the environment. In this study, the concepts of sustainable development and governance will be examined and the effects of sustainable development approaches on the concept of governance will be analysed.
