Abstract

Terror events in Şırnak province, especially in cities, started again in 2014 and as a result, curfew in districts has been applied in certain periods and times to ensure security. This situation continued until the first quarter of 2017. Terrorism has caused a certain amount of immigration from the province. This forced migration partially and temporarily has affected some indicators of the population in the province and districts. These indicators are the amount of population, the annual growth rate of the population, the rate of urban population and the indicators of migration. In this study, the changes in these indicators and the differences between the districts have investigated.The results of the analyzes indicate that the population of the province has decreased partially in 2016, the annual rate of increase has decreased, the share of the urban population has declined, the negative rate of migration has increased. At the same time, there have been some changes in the direction of migration. However, it should be noted that the period and the degree of influence vary according to the districts. In addition, due to the socio-economic measures taken by the state at the end of the events, it should be noted that in 2017 all the indicators of the population have reached the old developmental structure.
