Although the emergence of the urban dates back to B.C., the creation of the urban and urban identity and the establishment of the relationship of urban belonging were implemented in the 19th century, when urban participation mechanisms were implemented. based on the century. This period is the postindustrialization period in which the urban was defined in the modern sense, the urban was owned by the urbanites, democratic local government and participation mechanisms emerged, and local identities were realized. However, due to the intense population movements that post-industrialization urbanies are exposed to due to their socio-economic and cultural opportunities, it has become increasingly difficult to maintain the identity of the urban and the urban population, and to keep the local population alive with their level of urban belonging and awareness. For this reason, residents of the urban should adopt urban-specific behaviors and find the opportunity to participate in local government mechanisms in order to develop a sense of urban belonging and a level of urban awareness in terms of urban rights. Based on this, the aim of this study is to examine the feelings of urban belonging and awareness levels in Batman, which has undergone a rapid urbanization process in the last century, in terms of local participation and the exercise of urban rights of people living in the urban. In this context, 238 participants over the age of 18 were surveyed among the people who made up the target universe of the study and lived in the urban of Batman using the quantitative research method in the field research conducted. The surveys were conducted in the form of an applied field survey in 2020. In Batman, where most of the participants in the study spent their childhood or teenage years, it was found that they were urban conscious and aware of urban rights in the context of urban rights, but had problems exercising these rights due to insufficient participation opportunities caused by the dysfunction of local participation mechanisms. Therefore, in terms of urban and urban identity, it can also be said that most participants ' feelings of urban belonging do not develop. The study also emphasized the need to expand participation opportunities for the use of urban rights in order to improve the level of urban awareness
