Central Anatolia region (statistical)
The Central Anatolia Region, in a statistical context, refers to a geographically defined area within Turkey used for the collection and presentation of demographic, economic, and other statistical data. It's not a uniformly defined administrative region like a province or a district, but rather a grouping of provinces used for analytical purposes by statistical agencies like TurkStat (Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu). The specific provinces included within the "Central Anatolia Region" for statistical purposes might vary slightly depending on the specific data set and the year, but generally encompasses a core set of landlocked provinces in the central plateau of Turkey. This allows for regional comparisons and analyses, identifying trends and disparities within this particular geographic area. Researchers and policymakers utilize this statistical region to understand economic activity, population distribution, agricultural output, and other key indicators specific to this region of Turkey. The exact boundaries and included provinces should be clarified by referencing the specific source of the statistical data being used.
