Today, population census results are not only fundamental for population counting but also for providing various information to many organizations and people who make research and take decisions about human-related issues. However, statistics produced on the basis of administrative divisions in Turkey are inadequate to meet the needs of most In this study, a new census geography is aimed for Turkey using Geographic Information Systems and Multi Criteria Decision Making methodologies. This new census geography is for statistical purposes only, independent from legal boundaries and generated by the concept of small area statistics. New rules and methodologies are created by taking the United States and the United Kingdom systems as models to reach to the main aim, and then they are applied on a case study area, Çankaya District in Ankara. Through this application process, firstly all the collected graphical and nongraphical raw data are geo-referenced and combined in a common geodatabase. Secondly, this geodatabase is used to understand the differentiation of quality of life indicators across the case study area. This pattern is then used to draw the boundaries of small statistical units of the new census geography in terms of the previously defined population sizes. In conclusion, a nationwide standard census geography hierarchy, which ranges between national level at the top and block level at the bottom, is proposed for use in 2010 Population Census and afterwards.

The Relationship between the Changes in the Population Information System and the "Citizen" Participating in Public Administration and Benefiting from Public Services in Turkey Bozbeyoglu, Alanur Cavlin; Tilic, Helga Rittersberger (2011-03-01) In 2007, official population information has started to be provided through the Address Based Registration System (ADNKS), instead of population censuses, thus resulting in a differentiation in the public administration and public services. In this article, first the concept of citizenship and the transformation of the citizenship regime of Turkey associated with population information gathering practices will be discussed. With an aim to reveal the change in the population information system, population da...
The Historical Roots of Autonomy in Nicaragua's Caribbean Coast: From British Colonialism to Indigenous Autonomy Baracco, Luciano (2016-07-01) This article reviews historical forms of localised government on Nicaragua's Caribbean coast and contrasts them with the contemporary struggle to attain a communal form of autonomy undertaken by the region's indigenous population. It suggests that the contemporary autonomy process shares few features with the historical precedents of localised government which are commonly invoked to legitimise it. Instead, its roots can be located in the emergence of a Moskitian nationalism amongst the Miskitu which occurr...
The Gender Gap In Turkish Education - A Regional Approach Güngör, Ayadım Deniz (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2001) Regression analysis is used to investigate cross-provincial schooling patterns in Turkey for the years 1980 and 1994, using enrollment rate data by gender for the primary, middle, and high school levels computed here for the first time for Turkey’s provinces. The results suggest an increase in enrollments at all school levels in 1994 relative to 1980. However, the results also suggest that enrollment increases in the lower-income provinces have not kept up with enrollment increases in the higher-income prov...
