Provinces of Turkey

Updates: 

Update 13 to Geopolitical Entities and Codes (formerly FIPS 10-4) is dated 2013-09-30. For Turkey, the only change is to undot the lowercase "i" in Iğdır. (I had been showing the same misspelling.)

ISO 3166-2 Newsletter II-3 is dated 2011-12-15. For Turkey, the names of two provinces are changed: Afyon becomes Afyonkarahisar, and İçel becomes Mersin.

Mario Pezza sent a spreadsheet which he derived from source [3]. It has population data from the 1997, 2000, and 2007 censuses. The 1997 census was a housing census, not population. The 2007 census was derived from Turkey's Address-Based Birth Recording System (ADNKS). It is considered more accurate than the 2000 census, which may have been inflated by some localities wanting to get a larger share of the national budget. (Sources: [4], [5].) The 2000 populations in the spreadsheet agree with the ones I had listed before, except for Adana, which is 4,792 greater than the former figure (with a corresponding rise in the total population of Turkey). The province areas given in the spreadsheet are at variance with the areas shown on this page, sometimes less and sometimes more, usually only by a few percent.

FIPS Publication Change Notice No. 10, affecting FIPS PUB 10-4, was issued on 2006-03-23. It changes the name of Afyon province to Afyonkarahisar.

An informant writes that there are proposals to create new provinces of Alanya, Elbistan, Fethiye, Siverek, and others.

ISO 3166-2 Newsletter Number I-2 was published on 2002-05-21. It added Düzce and its code to the list of provinces.

FIPS Publication Change Notice No. 9, affecting FIPS PUB 10-4, was issued on 2004-10-01. It assigns a new FIPS code to the new province of Düzce, already acknowledged by ISO. It leaves the FIPS code for Bolu province unchanged, although Düzce was split from Bolu, and usually when a province loses territory its FIPS code will change.

Change Notice 8 to FIPS PUB 10-4 is dated 2002-06-28. I'm not sure what the point of it is. It says to add a province of Bartın İli, with the code TU87. What makes it odd is that Bartın already appears in the FIPS list, with that same code. (İli is apparently a form of the Turkish word for province.)

Change notice 5 to FIPS PUB 10-4 was issued on 2000-08-10. It showed seven new provinces in Turkey, plus two spelling changes. The code for Çankırı province was also changed from TU18 to TU82. As a rule, FIPS codes only change when there is a territorial change to the province. I'm unable to find any such change affecting Çankırı.

Update I-1 to ISO 3166-2 was published on 2000-06-21. It added Osmaniye to the list of provinces.

In 1900, the Ottoman Empire (often informally called Turkey) was in decline. It controlled extensive territory, but had been losing ground at an accelerating pace. It had control in some degree over Albania, northern Greece, parts of Bulgaria and what later became Yugoslavia, Crete, Cyprus, the Archipelago (the eastern Aegean islands), Tripoli (Libya), Egypt, most of modern Turkey, the Fertile Crescent, and the east and west coasts of the Arabian peninsula. (Egypt and Cyprus were under British hegemony in actuality.) It lost Libya in the Italo-Turkish War of 1911-1912, followed by most of its European lands in the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913. It was defeated in World War I, and the empire was broken up into pieces. Turkey became its successor state.

  • HASC: Hierarchical administrative subdivision codes.
  • ISO: Codes from ISO 3166-2. These codes are the first two digits on license plates issued in the
    province, except for a few provinces created after this system was instituted (numbers greater than 74).
  • NUTS: Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics.
  • FIPS: Codes from FIPS PUB 10-4.
  • Population: 2007-12-31 census.
  • Capital: Currently, the standard name of each provincial capital is the same as its province's name.
  • Old capital: Some capitals have other historical names, which in many cases are still in common use.
  • Reg: Arbitrary code for census-defined regions. For key, see table below.

Postal codes: 

Turkey uses five-digit postal codes.

Further subdivisions:

See the Districts of Turkey page.

The provinces are divided into ilçe (districts) with limited function. The districts are subdivided into communes, or municipalities, and villages. There are widely recognized regions in Turkey (Thrace, or Turkey in Europe; Black Sea Coast; Central Anatolia, etc.), but their standing is unofficial.

As in all countries with NUTS codes, higher-level region codes can be obtained by truncating a subdivision's NUTS code. Turkey's provinces have NUTS-3 codes, consisting of "TR" followed by three characters (with a few exceptions where a NUTS-3 region is coextensive with a NUTS-2 or NUTS-1 region). If they are truncated to the first four characters, the result is the NUTS code for the NUTS-2 region containing the same province. All NUTS-2 regions have the same name as one of the provinces in the region, marked above with an asterisk (*). The NUTS-1 regions of Turkey are: TR1 = İstanbul; TR2 = Batı Marmara; TR3 = Ege; TR4 = Doğu Marmara; TR5 = Batı Anadolu; TR6 = Akdeniz; TR7 = Orta Anadolu; TR8 = Batı Karadeniz; TR9 = Doğu Karadeniz; TRA = Kuzeydoğu Anadolu; TRB = Ortadoğu Anadolu; TRC = Güneydoğu Anadolu. English equivalents include Anatolia for Anadolu, Central for Orta, East for Doğu, North for Kuzey, South for Güney, and West for Batı.

Territorial extent: 

  1. Antalya includes some tiny Mediterranean islands such as Kekova.
  2. Balıkesir includes the islands of Marmara, Paşalimanı, Türkeli, and smaller islands in the Sea of Marmara; and Alibey and other small islands in the Aegean Sea.
  3. Bursa includes İmrali island in the Sea of Marmara.
  4. Çanakkale is partly in Asia and partly in Europe, straddling the Dardanelles. It includes the Aegean islands of Gökçeada (İmroz) and Bozcaada.
  5. Erzincan and Elazığ are adjacent, but their boundary is entirely in water (Keban reservoir).
  6. İstanbul is partly in Asia and partly in Europe, lying across the Bosporus.
  7. İzmir includes Uzun and Kara islands in the Aegean Sea.
  8. Muğla includes some tiny islands such as Salih, Kara, and Tersane.
  9. Van includes the small islands of Adır and Carbanab in Lake Van.

The UN LOCODE page  for Turkey lists locations in the country, some of them with their latitudes and longitudes, some with their ISO 3166-2 codes for their subdivisions. This information can be put together to approximate the territorial extent of subdivisions.

Origins of names: 

  1. Antalya: from Attalus II, king of Pergamon, founder of city
  2. Bursa: from founder Prusias I, king of Bithynia
  3. Çanakkale: Turkish çanak: pottery, kale: fort
  4. Edirne: Ancient Greek Hadrianopolis, after Roman emperor Hadrian.
  5. Erzurum: Arabic ard ar-rum: the land of Rome (referring to Christian population)
  6. Eskişehir: Turkish eski: ancient, sehir: city
  7. İzmir: Turkish corruption of eis Smyrne: to Smyrna
  8. İstanbul: Turkish corruption of Byzantine Greek eis ten polin: to the city; or, more likely, of Constantinople

Change history: 

In 1900, the Ottoman Empire was divided into vilayets (governorates), which were subdivided into sanjaks (provinces). The sanjaks were similar in size to the modern provinces, though different in detail. The vilayets which fell mainly within the area of modern Turkey were:
