Paper
Creating 2010 Census Geography of Turkey by Using GIS
Track: Census and Geodemographics
Author(s): Cem Kirlangicoglu, OGUZ ISIK

Today, population censuses serve to generate information about not only the number of people living in a specific area, but also many other facts related with them. Therefore, census based statistics are the main data source of many organizations and researchers. These statistics are meaningless without any relation with the real world, so a census geography is needed. In Turkey, administrative boundaries are used for this purpose, but they are far away from meeting the needs of many data users. The main aim of this study is to create a new and only statistical purposed census geography for Turkey.
