Abstract

The observed strong relationship between the urban populations and their ranks has long been an interesting subject. This relationship can be used to test whether a national urban hierarchical system develops evenly or unevenly. In this study, utilizing urban populations in Turkey for the years 1985, 1990 and 2000, an econometric study was carried out to analyze the historical development of the population distribution within Turkish urban system. The results show that the population within the Turkish urban system and thus the structure of the urban system has profoundly gone under an uneven development after 1985, deviating from Zipf’s law. The study argues that post 1985 liberal economic policies and increasing integration with the world economy have played a significant role in these changes.

Özet

Bir kentin nüfusu ile onun ulusal kent sistemindeki nüfus büyüklüğünün sıralaması arasında gerçek hayatta gözlemlenen güçlü ilişki, uzun yıllar ilgi çeken bir konu olmuştur. Özellikle kent çalışmalarında bu olgu, ulusal kentsel hiyerarşilerin düzenli gelişip gelişmediğinin araştırılmasında başvurulabilen bir ilişki niteliğindedir. Bu çalışmada 1985, 1990 ve 2000 yıllarına ait Türkiye’deki kent nüfusları kullanılarak, kent sistemimizdeki nüfus dağılımının gelişimi ekonometrik bir yöntemle incelenmektedir. Sonuçlar, 1985’ten sonra Türkiye’deki kentsel nüfus dağılımının ve dolayısıyla da kentsel sistem yapısının giderek dengesizleştiği ve Zipf yasasından uzaklaşıl- dığını göstermektedir. Bunda, 1985 sonrası uygulanan liberal ekonomik politikaların ve dünya ekonomisiyle giderek artan eklemlemenin bir rolünün olduğu tahmin edilmektedir.
