Abstract
Analysis of urban water management has been researched in several countries. However, the attention given to this subject in Türkiye remains limited. This study addresses this research gap by focusing on the analysis of water tariffs, a critical tool for urban water management policies of local governments in Türkiye. The research aim is to investigate issues related to the attributes widely studied globally when the Türkiye case is considered. The study utilises a dataset from the Household Budget Survey of the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) between 2015 and 2018. The research has two folds. First, household water tariffs, average water prices, water consumption levels, and household characteristics are comprehensively examined in three metropolitan cities of Türkiye, namely, İstanbul, Ankara, and İzmir. Secondly, water consumption data is compiled from diverse geographical regions worldwide and compared with the ones in Türkiye. The findings reveal that the accessibility to clean water and the financial burden of clean water on household budgets, particularly for low-income households in Türkiye, are notably disadvantaged compared to many developed countries.
