Abstract:

 The aim of this study is to examine the population development in TRC1, TRC2 and TRC3 level-2 regions in the period from 2007 to 2023. In the study, TURKSTAT data and descriptive method were used. The crude birth and death rates, total fertility rate and net migration rate data, which affect population growth, were also examined. TRC1, TRC2 and TRC 3 level-2 regions are located in the Southeastern Anatolia TRC level-1 region. Today, although the net migration rate is negative in all three regions, the population is generally increasing. This is due to the relatively high total fertility rate. Between 2007 and 2023, the population growth rate was 29 in the TRC1 region, 35 in the TRC2 region and 27 in the TRC3 region. While the annual population growth rate took positive values in three regions in the 2007-2022 period, this value took a negative value in the TRC1 level-2 region between 2022 and 2023 as a result of the increase in migration due to the effect of the February 6 earthquake. In other words, the population of the TRC1 region decreased between 2022 and 2023. It is noteworthy that in all three level-2 regions, the crude birth rate, total fertility rate and natural population growth rate have gradually decreased in recent years. Considering the recent trend, population growth is expected to continue in all three regions in the coming years. However, considering the trend of factors affecting population growth in recent years, on the other hand, it is predicted that this rate will gradually decrease.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı TRC1, TRC2 ve TRC 3 düzey-2 bölgelerinde 2007-2023 döneminde nüfus gelişimini incelemektir. Çalışmada TÜİK verilerinden yararlanılmış ve betimsel yöntem kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada nüfus artışını etkileyen kaba doğum ve ölüm hızı ile toplam doğurganlık hızı ve net göç hızı verileri de incelenmiştir. TRC1, TRC2 ve TRC 3 düzey-2 bölgeleri Güneydoğu Anadolu TRC düzey-1 bölgesinde yer almaktadır. Günümüzde her üç bölgede de net göç hızı eksi değerler almasına rağmen nüfus genellikle artmaktadır. Bunun nedeni nispeten yüksek olan toplam doğurganlık hızıdır. 2007-2023 yılları arasında TRC1 bölgesinde nüfus artış hızı 29, TRC2 bölgesinde 35 ve TRC3 bölgesinde ise 27 olmuştur. 2007-2022 döneminde üç bölgede yıllık nüfus artış hızı artı değerler alırken 2022-2023 arasında 6 Şubat depreminin etkisiyle verilen göçün artmasına bağlı olarak TRC1 düzey-2 bölgesinde bu değer eksi değer almıştır. Yani adı geçen bölgenin nüfusu 2022-2023 arasında azalmıştır. Her üç düzey-2 bölgesinde son yıllarda kaba doğum hızı, toplam doğurganlık hızı ve doğal nüfus artış hızının giderek azaldığı dikkat çekmektedir. Son dönemdeki eğilim göz önüne alındığında önümüzdeki yıllarda her üç bölgede nüfus artışının devam etmesi beklenmektedir. Ancak nüfus artışını etkileyen faktörlerin son yıllardaki eğilimi düşünüldüğünde, bu hızın giderek azalacağı öngörülmektedir.
