Özet: The nature and changing causes of social problems require innovative consideration and entrepreneurial actions. Societies are constantly undergoing social, economic and political changes. New needs are emerging or old problems such as urban transformation, drugs, crime, poor housing conditions, lack of rehabilitation facilities for young people or elderly people are being reshaped. Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) and social entrepreneurs gain importance in overcoming such challenges. Because the current PPPs literature does not go beyond the mechanistic requirements of the PPPs and does not include the social dynamics underlying their implementation. It is important to address this gap by investigating the activities and strategies of various social actors to initiate and implement a PPP project. PPPs effectively lead to innovative and entrepreneurial changes in social organizations or in areas with non-profit motifs. They link social and commercial goals through organizations such as social entrepreneurs, community enterprises, cooperatives, and PPPs. In addition, social entrepreneurs play an important role in the creation of social capital through the PPPs. In the study, the importance of social actors in PPP projects is emphasized theoretically. The importance of considering social responsibility factors in PPP projects is discussed with descriptive method.
