Abstract
The aim of this study is to strengthen the urban rights and quality of life of vulnerable groups
by contributing to the development of a new approach and standards in urban social services.
Toward this goal, we present the socially innovative service model (SISM) which ensures a
framework of daytime care and support centers for disabled individuals established in the
Eyüp district, wherein generally the lower and lower-middle classes of Istanbul reside. SISM
provides an important perspective on rights-based social policies as well as community and city
interaction, thereby enabling interdisciplinary study of social sciences and planning.
