Özet
Seçim dönemlerinde bütün siyasi partiler en fazla oy oranına ulaşarak hem yerel yönetimlerde hem de ülke yönetiminde söz sahibi olmak isterler. Bunun için oylarına talip olunan seçmenlerin toplumsal, ekonomik ve kültürel özelliklerinin iyi bilinmesi ve beklentilerinin analiz edilebilmesi gerekir. Ayrıca siyasi partilerin ve politik pazarlama uzmanlarının, seçmenlerin beklentileri çerçevesinde, doğru stratejiler geliştirmeleri seçim yarışında başarılı olmalarını sağlayacaktır. Araştırmamız ülkemizin orta büyüklükteki illerinden olan ve yıllarca sosyal değişimlere sahne olmuş Niğde'de yapılmıştır. Zaman içerisinde kentin sosyolojik yapısında meydana gelen değişimler, seçmenin siyasal tercihleri üzerinde doğrudan etkili olabilmektedir. Niğde'deki toplumsal farklılıklar, ekonomik yapı, kültürel faktörler ve din gibi birçok sosyolojik unsur seçmenlerin politik davranışlarını belirlemektedir. Bu çalışmamızda kentin sosyo-demografik, sosyo-kültürel ve sosyo-ekonomik unsurları ışığında, Niğdeli seçmen profili ve siyasal davranış biçimleri analiz edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırmamızda, uzun yıllar Niğde'de yaşanan olumsuz kentleşme, kentlilik bilincinin zayıf olması, kentlileşemeyen kentlilerin bulunduğu bir sosyal yapı, ekonomik olarak geri kalmışlık, cemaat ve kanaat önderlerinin etkisinde olan seçmen profili bulgularına rastlanmıştır. Seçmenlerin, öğrenim düzeyi ve gelir seviyesi düşüktür. Kentin kültürel dokusu zayıflamış, göçle gelenler kendi kültürlerini yaşatma zemini bulmuşlardır. Bunlar siyasal tercihlerini etkilemektedir. Ayrıca göçler sonucunda oluşan toplumsal farklılıklar genel ve yerel seçim sonuçlarını belirlemektedir. Laiklik, milliyetçilik, muhafazakârlık ve dindarlık, genel olarak ve büyük oranda, Niğdeli seçmenlerin ortak paydası durumuna gelmiştir.
