Question 18. What is the current name of the province and district that your birthplace belongs to?
(For those born abroad, write only the name of the country)
To be entered into the appropriate boxes for those born in Turkey, are the current names of the province and district that the place where they were born belongs to, whereas for those born abroad, the name of the country is to be entered.
In answering the question about birthplace, the person being administered the census may reply by giving the name of the village where he/she was born. In such a case, asking for the current names of the province and district that this village belongs to, the current name of that district and province are to be entered into the pertinent box.
The province and district names corresponding to our country's current administrative structure are provided in Appendix 2.
If the province and district names specified in response to this question are wrong, or if there is doubt about whether a specified district belongs to [the stated] province, the correct names shall be entered, by referencing the province and district list in Appendix 2.
In writing the names of the province and district that the birthplace belongs to, care should be taken to determine if the district is not one of the central districts in the 8 provinces with metropolitan areas (Adana, Ankara, Bursa, Gaziantep, Istanbul, Kayseri, and Konya). In these provinces, the provincial center is comprised of the districts displayed below.
In all provinces except those provinces specified above, "Center" is to be written for the provincial center, into the space for "District name".
