Talk:Marmara Region

Comments

I am not Turkey expert but does the statement "Climate of Marmara Region is maki and wood." really make sense? -mokeni 19:13, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Good explanation of Marmara but trying to make a sense of it RoxanaTM (talk) 21:39, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Maps

Right now, these maps are used in the article:

• 
• 

These maps are quite simply incorrect; the borders of the geographical regions of Turkey do not overlap with the borders of the administrative provinces.

This is the correct map of the geographical Marmara Region:

• 

Provinces in the Marmara Region

Since the borders do not overlap, there can be no clear-cut list of provinces in the Marmara Region.

Right now, this list is featured in the article:

Provinces in the Marmara Region

• Balıkesir Province
• Bilecik Province
• Bursa Province
• Çanakkale Province
• Edirne Province
• İstanbul Province
• Kırklareli Province
• Kocaeli Province
• Sakarya Province
• Tekirdağ Province
• Yalova Province

This list is also incorrect.

If we want to list the provinces in the Marmara Region, we will need at least two, but preferable three categorizies:

1. Provinces that are entirely in the Marmara Region.
2. Provinces that are mostly in the Marmara Region.
3. Provinces that are partially in the Marmara Region.

According to this map, which shows both geographical and provincial borders, the correct list should be as follows:

Provinces in the Marmara Region

Provinces that are entirely in the Marmara Region:

• Edirne
• İstanbul
• Kırklareli
• Kocaeli
• Tekirdağ
• Yalova

Provinces that are mostly in the Marmara Region:

• Balıkesir
• Bilecik
• Bursa
• Çanakkale
• Sakarya

Provinces that are partially in the Marmara Region:

• Eskişehir
• Manisa

Population

Since the geographical borders are imprecise (they don't overlap with district borders either), there is no convenient way to calculate the population of the geographical Marmara Region, or other geographical regions of Turkey for that matter. Any figure you see on the Internet in this regard is, at best, imprecise guesswork. I propose that we rank geographical regions among themselves and leave it at that. --Mttll (talk) 10:16, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Marmara economic data

the GDP per capita data is confusing, why is the GDP per capita calculated based on a population of ~1.4 million when the population is over 27 million? Ldg316 (talk) 22:53, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Agree. Besides, there is no source for GDP per capita. 2A01:827:10CB:F901:DD47:D659:41F0:203E (talk) 18:17, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
