___________________________________________________________________________________________________ EXPLANATIONS Populations of localities were calculated by considering the records of ABPRS, which is updated by the Ministry of Interior General Directorate of Civil Registration and Nationality, and the institutional population. According to the international definitions, persons who live in institutional places such as military barracks, prisons, nursing homes, university dormitories, etc. are included in the population of localities where the institutions are located. In addition, population of provinces, districts, municipalities, villages and quarters are determined according to the records of the National Address Database as of 31 December 2021. The United Nations and European Union (EU) recommend that countries make a “population and housing census” in years close to years ending in “0” in order to obtain comparable statistics on population. In this context, studies on register-based “2021 Population and Housing Census (PHC)” are ongoing by Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) in a similar manner with the EU member states. In Turkey, information on population size, age and sex structure, legal marital status, education level, migration, country of citizenship, place of civil registration, place of birth, type and structure of households, which should be produced within the scope of 2021 PHC, are obtained regularly from ABPRS annually. In this respect, “2021 PHC”, which is to be the first census based on administrative registers in Turkey, has the same reference date with the ABPRS as 31 December 2021, and basic source of 2021 PHC is ABPRS data. On the other hand, due to the lack of administrative data source suitable for producing information on building and housing characteristics, “2021 Survey on Building and Housing Characteristics (SBHC)”, which was started in October 2021 and is planned to be completed in April 2022, is being carried out by TurkStat in order to overcome the lack of information in this field. The results of 2021 SBHC and all other information within the scope of PHC are planned to be shared with the public on a later date. (1) Foreign population covers individuals who are holding a valid residence/work permit at the reference day and individuals who have a valid address declaration at the reference day while holding an identity document equivalent to residence permit such as international protection identity document and the individuals who have already renounced his/her Turkish Republic citizenship and who have a valid address declaration at the reference day. In addition to Syrians under temporary protection, foreigners holding visas or residence permits shorter than 3 months with the purpose of training, tourism, scientific research, etc. are not covered.
