Regional Development in Şanlıurfa Province, the Center of South Eastern Anatolian Project (GAP): Key Sector Analysis View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Research Papers in Economics International Conference on Emerging Economic Issues in a Globalizing World, Đzmir, 2008 Regional Development in Şanlıurfa Province, the Center of South Eastern Anatolian Project (GAP): Key Sector Analysis Menevi ş Uzbay Pirili Ege University, Turkey R.Funda Barbaros Ege University, Turkey Abstract The challenges facing Şanlıurfa are not unique, they are the same challenges found in rural areas all around the world. Agriculture is still the most important sector in Şanlıurfa, but it is generating fewer and fewer jobs. New approaches used in regional development shift from a focus on individual sectors (such as agriculture policy) to one based on a comprehensive multisectoral approach in which agriculture is conceived as one component sector of a comprehensive regional development policy. Within this framework, there are two major aims of this study. The first aim is to identify the high point sectors (key industries) by using LQ analysis in Şanlıurfa province and 11 districts. The analysis encompasses all sectors of industry and services thus excluding agriculture. On the other hand the economy of Şanlıurfa, endowed with very rich arable land resources and irrigation facilities, thanks to GAP-(South Eastern Anatolian Project), is mainly based on agriculture. Accordingly the second aim of this paper is to analyze the development potentials of “clusters of agro-industries based on organic agriculture products ” in the region. The findings of the analysis reveal that the key sectors identified in industry and services (food and textiles industries and retail and wholesale of food stuff) provide inputs from the main agricultural products in the region. On the other hand considering the availability of land and other facilities for organic agricultural products the findings of the study strongly supports development of “clusters of organic - agro industries” in Şanlıurfa Region. 41 International Conference on Emerging Economic Issues in a Globalizing World, Đzmir, 2008 Socio-Economic Profile of Şanlıurfa Province Among the 26 NUTS 2 regions defined by State Planning Organization in the framework of regional development policies, Şanlıurfa is grouped together with Diyarbakır under the code TRC2. At NUTS 3 level its code is defined as TRC21. Map 1 shows 9 Provinces of the south eastern Anatolia. Map 1: Şanlıurfa in South East Anatolia Region The surface area of Şanlıurfa located in Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey is 19.020 km 2 and this constitutes 3% of the total surface area of Turkey (Bulu and Eraslan, 2004). Şanlıurfa is the Center City of GAP project. Şanlıurfa is surrounded by Gaziantep in the west, Adıyaman in the northwest, Diyarbakır in the northeast, Mardin in the east, and Syria in the south. There are 11 districts including the central district. These are Akçakale, Birecik, Bozova, Ceylanpınar, Halfeti, Harran, Hilvan, Suruç, Siverek and Viran şehir. Demographic Structure As it may be seen in Table 1, total population including the central province and districts is 1,443,42 according to 2000 census. Population growth rate is 30.9 (‰) , far above the average of Turkey (14.9 ‰). On the other hand the average size of a household in the province is higher than 4.5, the average of Turkey. It is 6.87. Namely, approximately 7 persons live in a house. When the distribution according to age is considered, the province has a quiet young population. 0-4 age group has the biggest share within population. It is estimated that the population of Şanlıurfa will reach 1.9 million in 2010 through this rapidly growing population. 42 International Conference on Emerging Economic Issues in a Globalizing World, Đzmir, 2008 Table 1: Demographic Indicators - 2000 Codes Total Urban Population Population Total Household Population population growth density Fertility avarege- growth rate (‰) Rate person rate % 2004 (‰) Türkiye- 67,803,9 64,9 14.9 86 2,53 4,5 TR South East 6,608,619 62,69 21.23 86 4,57 6,48 Anatolia- TRC Şanlıurfa, 2,806,130 59,15 24.6 80 4,68 6,76 Diyarbakır- TRC2 Şanlıurfa- 1,443,42 58,34 30.9 75 4,83 6,87 TRC21 Diyarbakır- 1,627,08 60 18.4 87 4,51 6,64 TRC22 Zonguldak- 615,599 40,66 -10,08 186 1,93 4,23 TR811 Đstanbul- 10,018,73 90,69 30,73 1,885 1,97 3,93 TR100 Source: TU ĐK, DPT, Annual Statistical Reports. The economy of Şanlıurfa is based on agriculture. As it may be seen in Table 1 and 2 nearly 42% of the population live in rural area. Urbanization rate decreases down to 30% in the districts except the central district. However, with 58% urbanization rate, the province is below the average of Turkey which is %65. Table 2: Population Breakdown of the Provinces of Şanlıurfa Name of Total Urban population Share of urban population District Population in total % Merkez 534706 385588 72,11 Akçakale 77261 32114 41,57 Birecik 74671 40054 53,64 Bozova 65842 19848 30,14 Ceylanpınar 67817 44258 65,26 Halfeti 34402 2766 8,04 Harran 56258 8784 15,61 Hilvan 38411 16094 41,9 Siverek 224102 126820 56,59 Suruç 82247 44421 54,01 Viran şehir 187705 121382 64,67 Source: TU ĐK, DPT, Annual Statistical Reports. Regarding literacy rate it is very low particularly among women (52%) which is far below the average of Turkey (%80). Another striking issue is the extent of net outmigration in Şanlıurfa (-39 (‰) . Namely, 39 out of 1000 persons migrate from 43 International Conference on Emerging Economic Issues in a Globalizing World, Đzmir, 2008 Şanlıurfa. As it may be seen in Table 3 , the province with the highest net outmigration is Zonguldak- 74 (‰) , and Antalya ranks first in term of net immigration. One needs to analyze the structure of the labor market of Şanlıurfa to understand the reasons of outmigration in Şanlıurfa.

Economic structure and Labour Market Economic structure of Şanlıurfa is mainly based on the agriculture sector. According to 2000 data, the sectoral breakdown of regions GDP is agriculture (43%), services (40%), industry (11%) and construction (6%). GDP in 2000 is 1 billion 850 Million Dollars, and income per capita is 1.300 Dollars. (Table 4). However referring to the labour market data, we see that employment generating capacity of agriculture sector has been declining. As it may be seen in ( Table 6), in terms of TRC2 -Urfa-Diyarbakir data, employment share of agricultural has declined from 47.4% in 2004 to 26.9% in 2006. On the other hand the share of industry in employment is increasing gradually as it increased from 12.1% in 2004 to 16.2% in 2006. 44 International Conference on Emerging Economic Issues in a Globalizing World, Đzmir, 2008 Table 4: Distribution of GNP by Sector Codes Per capita GNP Per capita GNP 1995-$ 2001-$ Türkiye-TR 2727 2146 Güneydo ğu Anadolu-TRC 1498 1186 Şanlıurfa, Diyarbakır-TRC2 1471 1156 Şanlıurfa-TRC21 1238 1300 Diyarbakır-TRC22 1696 1313 Ağrı, Kars, I ğdır, Ardahan-TRA2 877 730 Kocaeli, Sakarya, Düzce, Bolu,Yalova-TR42 4873 4109 Source: TU ĐK, DPT, Annual Statistical Reports.

  • The Possible Effects of Irrigation Schemes and Irrigation Methods on Water Budget and Economy in Atatürk Dam of South-Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey
    The possible effects of irrigation schemes and irrigation methods on water budget and economy in Atatürk dam of south-eastern Anatolia region of Turkey Huseyin Demir1, Ahmet Zahir Erkan2, Nesrin Baysan2, Gonca Karaca Bilgen2 1 GAP Şanlıurfa Tünel Çıkış Ağzı 2 GAP Cankaya, Ankara, Turkey Abstract. The South-eastern Anatolia Project (GAP) has been implemented in the southeast part of Turkey, covering 9 provinces and the two most important rivers of Turkey. The main purpose of this gorgeous project is to uplift the income level and living standards of people in the region, to remove the inter-regional development disparities and to contribute to the national goals of economic development and social stability. The cost of the project is 32 billion USD consisting of 13 sub-projects in the river basins of Euphrates and Tigris. The project has evolved over time and has become multi sectoral, integrated and human based on the sustainable regional development. Upon the fully completion of the project, 1.8 Million hectares of land will be able to be irrigated in Euphrates and Tigris Basins through surface and underground water resources. From 1995 until now, 273.000 ha. of land have already been irrigated within the GAP Project. Roughly 739,000 ha. of this land will be irrigated from Atatürk Dam, the largest dam of GAP Project. At present, nearly ¼ of this area is under irrigation. Some technological developments have been experienced in the Project area, ranging from upstream controlled schemes having trapezoidal section, lined or unlined, to upstream controlled schemes having high pressurized piped system; and from conventional methods to drip irrigation method.

  • Interesting Facts on Ancient Mounds—Three Texts in the Bedouin Arabic Dialect of the Harran-Urfa Region (Southeastern Turkey)
    INTERESTING FACTS ON ANCIENT Mounds—THREE TEXTS IN THE BEDOUIN ARABIC DIALECT OF THE Harran-URFA REGION (SOUTHEASTERN Turkey) Stephan Procházka The article deals with an Arabic Bedouin dialect which is spoken in the plain of Harran situated south of the city of Urfa, Turkey. The dialect of the local Arab minority, which has been settled in that region for centu- ries, belongs to the so-called Šāwi vernaculars that are widespread among the goat and sheep breeding nomads of Syria and Iraq. Besides linguis- tic remarks on some outstanding phonological, morphological, and lexi- cal features, the paper contains three original texts in transcription with English translation. The texts were recorded in three different villages and all deal with stories connected to the numerous ancient mounds in the region. Introduction Recently Bruce Ingham published an article on the speech of the Euphra- tes Bedouin, which he called a “fringe Mesopotamian dialect” (Ingham 2009). The present paper deals with a Bedouin dialect that is spoken on the opposite fringe of the Šāwi dialectal continuum. The Arabic dialects spoken in the vast Plain of Harran (called dīrit Ḥarrān in the local dia- lect) arguably constitute the northernmost variety of the Arabian Bedouin dialects, which for many decades have been the main focus of Bruce Ing- ham’s fruitful research. Many Arabs of the region investigated here live in the southern neighbourhoods of the provincial capital Şanlıurfa and in a few small towns between Urfa and the Syrian border, among them Harran and Tall Abyaḍ (Turkish Akçakale). Besides these urban settlements there are numerous tiny villages scattered in the fertile plain and often situated next to or around a ruin-mound.

The study was based on the local tomography method using data from earthquakes that occurred in the study area provided by the Turkiye Cumhuriyeti Ministry of Interior Disaster and Emergency Management Directorate Earthquake Department Directorate of Turkey. The dataset used for tomography included the travel times of 54,713 P-waves and 38,863 S-waves from 6355 seismic events. The distributions of the resulting seismic velocities (Vp, Vs) down to a depth of 60 km demonstrate significant anomalies associated with the major geologic and tectonic features of the region. The Arabian plate was revealed as a high-velocity anomaly, and the low-velocity patterns north of the Bitlis suture are mostly associated with eastern Anatolia. The upper crust of eastern Anatolia was associated with a ~10 km thick high-velocity anomaly; the lower crust is revealed as a wedge-shaped low-velocity anomaly. This kind of seismic structure under eastern Anatolia corresponded to the hypothesized existence of Citation: Medved, I.; Polat, G.; a lithospheric window beneath this collision zone, through which hot material of the asthenosphere Koulakov, I.
