Abstract: In our legal system, persons are divided into two as natural persons and legal persons. Legal entities are divided into two as private law legal entity and public legal entity. Having the quality of public legal personality, which is one of the main titles of the study, bring along some public power privileges. Forthis reason this topic has become one of the discussion areas that keeps up to date in every period. The Development Agencies, which constitute another main topic of the study, have been formed differently from the general structuring understanding in the administrative organization structure with the law No. 5449 enacted in 2006. Development Agencies emerged in the early 2000s with the EU harmonization process in order to eliminate the development process between the regions. The working principle of Development Agencies is in the framework of private and public cooperation. While the density of public characteristics that Development Agencies have within create a perception that they are public legal entities, the fact that they are based on the contributions of private sector organizations within a certain geography reveals a contrary to this perception. In the study of Development Agencies, which are controversial to be examined as decentralization institutions, the issue of whether their organization has a public legal personality is discussed.
