Abstract
The regions covered by the ‘2000 Families’ study are in five of the 81 provinces of Turkey: Acıpayam (province of Denizli), Emirdağ (province of Afyon), Kulu (province of Konya), Şarkışla (province of Sivas), and Akçaabat (province of Trabzon) (see also the discussion in Chapter 2). In this chapter, we introduce these five regions, discuss their locations, note the migration patterns in the 1960s and 1970s and comment on their previous and current state of development. This discussion provides a rich context for the analysis of migrant and non-migrant outcomes that follows in the book and paints the backdrop for the transnational links that persist to the present time.
