Rural-Urban Population Change in Erzurum in the Period of Republic

14116

In this study, it was aimed to make an evaluation of rural-urban population in Erzurum according to the years of census, to determine the urbanization rate in the population of the city and course of the change in it, and to search the reasons underlying the distribution in rural-urban population. The table intended to be formed by an analysis of the censuses carried out by TÜİK (Turkish of Statistical Institute), will both allow an analysis of the general structure of population in the city and facilitate the predictions about the future. Looking at the nearly 75-year duration, it is seen that, in all censuses, the rate of urban population in Erzurum has been under the average of Turkey, where the rate of urban population increased almost five times whereas the rate of rural population declined three times. In this respect, evaluation of the censuses throughout the period of republic (1927–2008) and, particularly, analysis of the results of the Address Registration System (ADNKS) indicate the existence of considerable change and development in rural-urban population.
