Get Geographic Maps from TUIK

Downloads spatial boundary data from the TUIK geographic portal at different administrative levels. Returns simple features (sf) objects with geometries in WGS 84 coordinate reference system (EPSG:4326).

Usage

geo_map(level = 2, dataframe = FALSE)

Arguments

level

Numeric. Administrative level to retrieve:

2

NUTS-2 (İstatistiki Bölge Birimleri Sınıflaması - Level 2)

3

NUTS-3 / Provincial level (İl)

4

LAU-1 / District level (İlçe)

9

Settlement points (Yerleşim yerleri) - returns POINT geometries

dataframe

Logical. If TRUE, returns a regular tibble without geometry. If FALSE (default), returns an sf object with spatial data.

Value

An sf object (or tibble if dataframe = TRUE) with different columns depending on the level:

Levels 2, 3, 4 return MULTIPOLYGON geometries with columns:

code

Character. Unique geographic code (renamed from duzeyKodu)

bolgeKodu

Character. NUTS region code

nutsKodu

Character. NUTS classification code

ad

Character. Geographic unit name in Turkish

geometry

sfc_MULTIPOLYGON. Spatial boundaries (WGS 84)

Level 9 returns POINT geometries with columns:

ad

Character. Settlement name in Turkish

tp

Integer. Settlement type code

bs

Integer. Classification code

bm

Integer. Additional classification

geometry

sfc_POINT. Point coordinates (WGS 84)

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Download NUTS-3 boundaries as sf object
nuts3_sf <- geo_map(level = 3)

# Drop geometry — return plain tibble for joins
nuts3_tbl <- geo_map(level = 3, dataframe = TRUE)

# Settlement points (POINT geometry)
settlements <- geo_map(level = 9)
} # }
