Frequently asked questions
- How many neighbourhoods and villages does Batman have in this dataset?
- The Batman layer contains 423 units in 6 districts. 130 of the units are neighbourhoods (mahalle) and 287 are villages (köy), and 6 units are unclassified.
- Is each neighbourhood linked to its belediye?
- Yes, all 130 neighbourhoods in Batman carry the ID and name of their municipality (belediye). 22 of them belong to a town municipality (belde). Villages (köy) lie outside municipalities, so their belediye fields are empty.

- Yes. The free Yalova sample has every administrative level in GeoPackage and Shapefile format; select Free sample (Yalova) on the Turkey neighbourhood boundaries page.
- Can I get all of Türkiye or other administrative levels?
- Yes. The neighbourhood layers of all 81 provinces also form one national dataset together with the country, region, province, district and belediye layers; it is supplied after an enquiry, as described under Full national dataset.
