One of our border provinces, Ardahan, has been a settlement that draws attention due to the migration patterns it shows both before and during the republic period. Ardahan province that had been experiencing continuous population growth since the first census until 1975 has sustained rapid decrease of population following that period due to movement of migration. The decrease of population has continued even though Ardahan's official status has been changed from district to province in 1992, whereas it has been the 3rd province having the least population according to the data of 2018. Rapid movements of migration have influenced the socio-cultural characteristics along with the numerical values of population, whereas they particularly caused the young population average to remain under that of the country and the rate of elderly population to increase. The distribution of population of Ardahan does not exhibit significant difference throughout the province due to its natural environmental conditions, however, the locations closer to water sources and to transportation means draw attention as being the locations with slightly denser population. The settlement that can be considered as a single city settlement is Ardahan city centrum, whereas the population of central district has been found to be 22.169 according to the data of 2018. With this value, Ardahan city centrum bears the feature of being the settlement with the least central district population amongst 81 provinces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, the demographic structure of The Adaklı (Bingol) district in the Upper Euphrates Section of the Eastern Anatolia region was evaluated. For this purpose Turkey Statical İnstitute (TUİK) population data were dowloaded between 1935 and 2018 and dowloaded from the Turkish Statistical İnstitute database. These data were digitized and mapped in Excellan ArcGIS environment. In the study, demographic dynamics of the population of Adaklı district such as the changes experienced during the Republican period,, age and gender structure of the population and migration were discussed. In order to make the development of the population over the years more holistic and comprehensible, population data was tried to be analyzed by separating three circuits. Adaklı districts is located at the intersection area of the Sancak Uzunpazar Fault Zone parallel to the North Anatolian Fault (NAF). Therefore, the field is very active in terms of tectonics and is affected negatively at times by earthquakes and related mass movements. The effects of this situation force people to migrate. In addition to this, especially after the 1980s, the terrorist incidents caused of the migration movement to increase. Undoubtedly this has negatively affected the development of the population of the district and has had significant effects on its socioeconomic structure. As the research area is rough and has elevation values (1500 m), the adversities caused by physical environmental conditions and the restrictive elements of the socioeconomic structure lead to the intensive migration movement.

The study areas is bordered by Demirci Mountains in the north and northeast, Kula-Gördes-Uşak plateaus in the east, Bozdaglar in the south and Spil Mountain, Yaman Mountains, Menemen Strait and Yunt Mountain in the west. The climate of Manisa is combination of the Central Anatolian continental climate with Mediterranean climate. Mediterranean climate is seen in the plains and valleys, whereas Central Anatolian continental climate is dominant in plateaus and mountainous areas. Since the mountains surrounding Manisa are not high enough to prevent the maritime influence, the warm weather coming from Aegean Sea is felt in the air from west to east with a reducing influence. However, the city of Manisa remains under the influence of Manisa Mountain. The barren side of the mountain facing the city has a freezer effect in winter and cooling effect in summer. According to the systematics of administrative division of Turkey, cities constitute the largest civil administrative departments of the country. Manisa is the 17th largest city with a total of 13.096 km2 surface area among 81 cities and 14th in terms of population, respectively.

As a result of events taking place in Cyprus until 1974, the peace operation has been performed by Turkey as a guarantor of Cyprus in respect to international treaties with the aim of bringing peace to the island where today's green line has been created due to this operation. The exchange of this operation is performed as a result of this operation. In total of 210 villages exist in total at the northern part of the island before 1974 where the 34 of these villages mixed of Turkish and Greeks population, 101 of them Greek and 70 of them Turkish, and 5 of them composed of maronites. After the creation of the border after 1974, remainder of the populations composed of Turks migrated from south to north and Greeks migrated north to south. These migrations has not affected the state of settlements of Turks in North and Greeks in South which were already settled before 1974 however number of Maronite villages have decreased from 5 to 3 which are Koruçam, Karpaşa and Ozhan. After 1974 both communities have formed their own governments and Turks who migrated northward after 1974 settled new villages and named these villages with new Turkish names. Today, the mixed populations exist in Pile and Karpas region of the Northern Cyprus. The Pile village exist on the green line where both communities live in and it exists while people who refused to migrate from South to North lives in Karpas region. This study investigates the distribution of settlements of communities in 1974 and after. Names of old and new settlements are determined as which settlements are Greek, Turkish or Marunits and distribution of populations are shown through maps generated through Geographical Information Systems.
