Özet:

In this study, the demographic structure of the Adaklı (Bingöl) district located in the Upper Fırat Division of the Eastern Anadolu Region was evaluated. For this purpose, the population data between 1935-2018 were downloaded from the database of the Turkish Statistical Bureau (TÜIK). These data are digitalized and maped in the Excell and ArcGIS environments. The study discussed the changes that the population of the Adaklı district experienced throughout the Republican period, the population’s age and gender structure and demographic dynamics such as immigration. In order to make the development of the population more comprehensive and comprehensible over the years, the population data has been tried to be analyzed by dividing into three circles. The Adaklı district is located in the crossroads of the Sancak-Uzunpazar Fay Zone with parallel benefits to the North Anadolu Fay (KAF). Therefore, the field is quite tectonicly active and is sometimes negatively affected by earthquakes and the mass movements that occur. The effects of this situation force people to migrate. In addition, terror events, especially after the 1980s, have led to an increase in the immigration movement. This situation has left a significant impact on the socio-economic structure, as it has negatively affected the development of the district population. Since the research field is a field with over-the-counter and elevated values (1500 m), the negative conditions of the physical environment and the restrictive elements of the socio-economic structure cause the intense experience of immigration movements.
