Abstract
This paper aims at showing spatial analysis of district level population distribution in Turkey with respect to environmental parameters related to elevation and distance to sea. The population distribution was based on 2012 census for 81 provinces partitioned into a total of 957 districts. Districts were divided into different elevation zones based on their mean elevation values which were calculated by averaging elevation values of pixels of DEM data. Secondly coastal proximity zones were calculated as inland buffers of 50, 100, 150 kilometres from coastline. Districts were divided into groups based on area of their largest part which were contained by related coastal proximity buffer. The large proportion of the population (about 53 %) resides at elevations higher than 500 meters, whereas remaining proportion population (% 47) lives at less than 500 meters.
