Abstract
The subject of this study constitutes a general sociological assessment
of family support services. In an increasingly globalizing world,
various problems arise in family structures. Sociology coming into play
tries to understand and synthesize family support centres. Looking at
this context, the increase in the number of problems related to the
family deserves the attention of sociology, trying to analyse the
necessity of family support services. The main problem of this study is
the way how faamily support centres are understood by keeping in mind
that family as an institution with a central importance in societies has
been altering. The change in the structure of family results in the
emergence of the issue of family support centres as well. Interviews
were carried out with 9 women, 6 men and 3 specialists of family support
service. Later, a survey was practised in a group of participants living
in Konya in order to measure the perception of family support services.
Qualitative research was determined as a methodology to see how a group
of people perceive family support services. Behaviour and attitudes
towards a particular group were intended to be measured in this
particular study which was developed as a cultural research. The
research was carried out in family support service centres in Konya.... Show more Show less
