Özet:

Population, which expresses the number of people in a certain place and period, is a dynamism that directly affects the spatial development of cities. Due to the increase in population in cities, the need for housing increases, accelerating the horizontal and vertical growth of cities. In this process known as urbanization, it is of great importance to understand the temporal and spatial changes of the population. While examining a city's population, its development and change over time, its spatial distribution, and its effects on urbanization are discussed. In the context of this study, the temporal and spatial evolution of the population in the city of Trabzon, which is located in the Eastern Black Sea Part of the Black Sea Region, is discussed. The distribution and density of the population according to the neighbourhoods are expressed visually. The population of Trabzon has been examined under two main headings, before and after the Republic. For this purpose, it was obtained from the sources written on the subject in the period before the Republic; The post-republic population was obtained from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK). The data obtained were analyzed from a geographical point of view and transformed into maps, tables, and graphics, and the development and spatial distribution of the population were revealed.
