Official Statistics Programme

General Information

1. Introduction

The Official Statistics Programme, based on the Statistics Law of Turkey No 5429, has been prepared

for a 5-year-period in order to determine the basic principles and standards dealing with the

production and dissemination of official statistics and to produce reliable, timely, transparent and

impartial data required at national and international level. A programmed period for the Turkish

Statistics System has been launched with The Official Statistics Programme 2007- 2011.

This Programme will enable to prevent repetitions in the production and dissemination of official

statistics, decrease the burden on respondents, save on labour force and resources and enhance the

confidence on official statistics. Furthermore, official statistics are standardized, responsible and

related institutions are defined, data compilation methodology and the publication periodicity/schedule

of official statistics are specified.

1

In relation to the implementation of the Programme, data identified to be produced by institutions and

organizations other than Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT) in the Official Statistics Programme

shall be considered as official statistics. Thus, in any field required, only one reliable official statistics

will be produced.

Statistics not foreseen, but required to be produced in the pragramme period, shall be considered as

official statistics in case they are included in the Programme until the end of annual updating period in

cooperation with TURKSTAT.

In the context of the preparation of the Official Statistics Programme 2007- 2011, 28 working groups

were established, a total of 108 meetings were held by the aforementioned groups and 906

representatives from 324 institutions and organizations attended these meetings. The current

situation of the statistical data produced by the stakeholders, data sources, data compilation methods,

classifications, the publication schedule and the responsible institutions of official statistics were

evaluated at these meetings.

In the framework of the decisions taken at the meetings, the reports prepared by involved working

group members were sent to the responsible and related institutions and organizations and their

opinions and proposals are received in written form. The draft Programme prepared in accordance

with the reports received from the institutions and organizations was discussed at the Statistical

Council Meeting held on 29/11/2006 and accepted unanimously.

Adoption of the Official Statistics Programme (2007-2011) prepared by TURKSTAT was decided by the

Council of Ministers at 20/12/2006 in reference to the article 3 of the Statistical Law of Turkey number

5429, regarding the Ministry of State Act No 858 of 14/12/2006; and put into practice after it was

published in the Official Gazette No:26392 of 30/12/2006. The Programme has been revised by the

decision of Council of Ministers in 2008 and also 2009, in accordance with the opinions and offers of

the institutions in the scope of the Programme.

2. The Content of the Official Statistics Programme and the Implementation Units The Programme gives information on the definitions, methods, contents, classifications, and the

publication periodicity/schedule of the data and the institutions responsible for compilation and

publication.

Official statistics are produced and issued by TURKSTAT and the responsible institutions and

organizations specified in the Programme. Data compilation, evaluation and dissemination

responsibilities of the institutions and organizations are defined in the Programme. TURKSTAT; the

responsible body for the coordination of production and publication of official statistics, is authorized

to publish and disseminate the official statistics compiled by related institutions and organizations.

These institutions and organizations are obliged to submit any compiled data to TURKsTAT on time,

2

upon request. The principle of confidentiality is duly observed in the maintenance and protection of

data and information submitted to the Institute by determining the confidentiality principles in other

legislative arrangements.

Institutions and organizations responsible from the production of official statistics are as follows:

• The Prime Ministry and Ministries, and their dependant, relevant and related organizations; • Local governments and their relevant and related organizations, as well as the unions and

companies thereof;

• Other institutions and organizations and professional organizations that have the status of a public institution which have legal entities and which have been established under names such

as institute, enterprise, establishment, union, revolving fund, fund etc. including the Central

Bank of the Republic of Turkey; Istanbul Stock Exchange Market and the Universities;

• Professional organizations that have the status of a public institution

3. Official Statistics Principles

These institutions and organizations producing statistics within the scope of Official Statistics

Programme are responsible to implement their duties in accordance with the following principles:

• statistical confidentiality • impartiality • transparency • user orientedness • accuracy and reliability • up-to-datedness • timeliness • comparability • clarity • easy and equal accessibility

The Official Statistics Programme aims to achieve the implementation of these principles. Each

institution takes the necessary precautions needed in this context.

4. Monitoring and Evaluation of the Official Statistics Programme In order to evaluate the implementation of the Programme, TURKSTAT shall prepare “Official Statistics

Programme Annual Monitoring Report”.

The level of implementation of the activities within the scope of the Programme executed by the

responsible and relevant institutions and organizations will be determined, and if there is any,

3

precautions needed to be taken to remove the defects will be specified at the Annual Monitoring

Report. Monitoring reports are evaluated through discussions in the Statistical Council.

Organizations and institutions specified in the Programme are responsible to TURKSTAT for providing

reports related to their performance annually.

“Official Statistics Programme Information System” is developed by TURKSTAT in order to set up the

database of the official statistics and to update this information. All of the studies performed in the

context of the Official Statistics Programme will be monitored through this system.

5. Data Quality Control in Official Statistics

The institutions and organizations responsible for the production of official statistics have to take all

kinds of measures to produce data in accordance with the classification and qualification standards

determined in the Programme and to make quality control including whole process starting from data

collection to publication. The control of compliance with the standards is conducted by Data Quality

Control Board set up under the Law No: 5429. The institutions and organizations meet all type of

demands of the Board or the working groups established by the concerned regulation in the specified

time period.

6. Data Publication and Dissemination Official Statistics Dissemination Principles: Determination of principles, standards and procedures related to publication and dissemination of official statistics and monitoring the compliance with those is performed by the Publication and Dissemination Board. Institutions and organizations specified in the Programme are obliged to conform to the Principles of Dissemination of Official Statistics in the publication and dissemination process. Those principles are as follows:

• Equal and Easy Access: Official statistics are disseminated equally and simultaneously for all users. Easily accessible means (printed documents, media, internet etc.) are used in dissemination. The main purpose is to deliver all kinds of data with the related metadata on the web free of charge.

• User Orientedness: Official statistics are composed in an understandable and easy manner to satisfy users’ needs. Different ways of presentations are developed for different user groups after monitoring their demands and needs related to publication and dissemination.

• Impartiality: Any group or person shall not have a privilege related to the coverage, publication and dissemination time/method of official statistics.

• Transparency: Data compilation method, time, methodology used in the data production process of official statistics together with the sampling method and size used for sampling studies are open to users’ access.

• Timeliness: Dissemination is carried out by a calendar presenting conditions on which users can reach which data on what time. National Data Release Calendar is announced at the beginning of each year. The public shall be informed with appropriate means for the data not going to be published because of technical impossibilities beforehand.

4

Use of Individual Data (Micro Data): Micro data, the basis for the production of official statistics, shall be disseminated within the principle of confidentiality on charge. In case data providers demand their own data, those demands shall be met free of charge. All authorities responsible for the production of official statistics can enable the use of their data free of charge in case they take the necessary security precautions and they obey confidentiality judgments.

1.1. THE NATIONAL ADDRESS REGISTRY SYSTEM

In our country, the National Address Registry System is set up to standardize addresses, to monitor

the address features up-to-date and to conduct the address-based public services more effectively and

efficiently. As a first priority, national address standard is built for the address information which

hasn’t any standard, by the collaboration with the General Directorate of Local Authorities, the General

Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs, Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT) and Turkish

Standards Institution. In every residence, the numeration studies are conducted in accordance with

this standard and this address information is conveyed into the National Address Database developed

by TURKSTAT over web in order to share this information with the public institutions and

organizations of the National Address Registry System.

Each address in Turkey will be recorded at the level of quarter, street and also the interior door

numbers will be included. For each study which necessitates address information, the National

Address Database will constitute the basic infrastructure. The address data recorded by many

institutions at different forms and standards will be standardized and the address complexity will be

concluded.

Each quarter, street and avenue in the database will be given a constant presentation number; thus,

monitoring of the retroactive changes in address components (e.g. name changes, divisions, unions)

backswept will be possible. Each address will have a constant presentation number and compose the

base of the Addresses Based Population Registry System.

The data flow into the system is made by municipalities in the places where the municipalities

authorized. In the villages, it is made by special provincial administrations. Each building constructed,

each quarter, street and avenue built and renamed will be transmitted into the system instantly and

by this way the address database will be registered up-to-date.

Municipalities and special provincial administrations authorized will conduct the address information

changes into the National Address Registry System and the system will be updated. Building

permission license and the documents about aflame- destroyed buildings will be given over the

National Address Registration System

All the institutions and organizations, which records the corporations and persons, and provides

residence based public services (e.g. the Ministry of Finance recording enterprises, the General

Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs recording population log, municipalities, the Turkish

Post), will compose their address information based on this system and make their transactions over

it. The addresses which are not in the system can not be provided public services.

Setting up of the National Address Registry System will be completed within the year of 2007 by

TURKSTAT and handed over to the Ministry of Interior. The management, updating and sharing of the

data included in this system will be provided by the Ministry of Interior then on.

8

1.2. ADRESSES BASED POPULATION REGISTRATION SYSTEM

In our country, Addresses Based Population Registration System (ABPRS) is set up by Turkish

Statistical Institute (TURKSAT) in order to record updated population data by localities and to monitor

population movements. Address Based Population Registration System will be established by setting

up the National Address Database and matching usual residence addresses and the Central

Population Registration System registers according to the Turkish Republic identification numbers.

Usual residence addresses of foreigners residing in Turkey, and also the country and city information

of usual residences of the Turkish Republic citizens living abroad will be included in the system

Addresses Based Population Registration System will make it possible to determine updated

population without application of curfew on the census day and risks of reputation as well as to

conduct public services more efficiently and effectively.

With the implementation of the system,

• In public sector, time and resource savings will be provided by decreasing the bureaucratic procedures.

• The repetitive studies conducted by many institutions will be terminated after the data of Address Based Population Registration System is used by all public institutions and

organizations.

• Services, provided by different institutions, will be realized with only an application after the population registration system used by all institutions.

• The updated information in this system will be considered for the implementation of the laws including regulations related to the size of population like the budget allocation of

municipalities, the distribution of parliamentarians by provinces, etc.

• Migration and population movements existed intensively in our country will be monitored updately; more effective social, economic and administrative policies will be implemented.

• Statistics on population size, sex and age characteristics of population by locality will be produced in detailed.

In order to match persons and their usual residence addresses in the National Address Database, field

study will be realized and Address Based Population Registration System will be set up in 2007 by

TURKSTAT. After implementation, the address lists will be suspended in the offices of the head of the

quarters (or head of the villages) and will be controlled in two months to make registers definite. After

the study completed, the system will be taken over to the General Directorate of Population and

Citizenship Affairs (GDPCA). Then the system will be updated by the GDPCA.

Within the content of updating the system, persons will declare their address changes to district

directorates of population or offices of the head of the quarters (or head of the villages) in 20 days.

The addresses of persons in ABPRS will be taken into account for all judicial and administrative

transactions.

9

1.3. BUSINESS REGISTERS SYSTEM

Business registers is a system including address, identity, activity, stratification (turnover, number of

employees) and relationship variables of the organizations which act in our country and contribute to

gross domestic product.

Business registers system is set up based on administrative registers. With this system; statistical

purposed, updated and reliable information is recorded in accordance with statistical units’ definitions

by using public institutions and organizations’ registers. Business registers compose a framework for

the researches to be held within the content of business statistics.

Business registers system covers only the economic entities in the official registers of public

institutions and organizations. Data derived from administrative registers are assessed as legal units,

and for statistical studies it’s converted to statistical units as enterprise, local unit, local kind of activity

unit, etc. afterwards.

The main data source of business registers is the Revenue Administration Department’s registers. The

registers of other institutions and organizations (e.g. Ministry of Industry and Trade, Ministry of

Labour and Social Security, The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey…etc.) will

also be used for updating purpose if they are suitable.

For business registers, NACE is used for activity classification, while NUTS is used for regional

classification. Address information is recorded in accordance with national address standards.

All public institutions and organizations, especially Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Industry and Trade,

Ministry of Labour and Social Security and the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of

Turkey, will use the addresses in National Address Registry System for standardization in the studies

of composing and updating the business registers.

Public institutions and organizations will make the regulations covering tax identification number and

also Turkish Republic identification number in order to provide a properly functioned system. In this

register, the units, concepts and national classifications which are determined by TURKSTAT will be

used.

Statistics on business demography like birth, death, merger, split off will be acquired from business

registers. For this purpose, Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Union of Chambers and Commodity

Exchanges of Turkey will arrange the registers in accordance with business demography.

10

1.4. AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISE REGISTRY SYSTEM

1. Coverage

Agricultural enterprise registers is a database in which identity, address and typological features of

agricultural enterprises (household and institutional) take place. This database will be build by the

Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and TURKSTAT in collaboration, will be updated continuously

and used as a framework for agricultural surveys.

Built by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Farmer Registry System and the Animal

Identification System will be the main source for updates.

Installation of the Agriculture Information System, while The Agricultural Enterprise Registry System is

prioritized, has been started in 2010 and will be continued according to the joint protocol made by the

Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and TURKSTAT .

11

1.5. CLASSIFICATIONS

1. Coverage Statistical data is needed to be used in the analysis the economical and social structures of countries.

It’s possible of reliable communication among users who speak different language and have different

aims by means of a common language composed of classification and codification systems.

The main framework of the classifications is developed by the authorized international organizations

conducting specialty works like United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), Statistical Office of the

European Commission (EUROSTAT), International Labour Organization (ILO), International Monetary

Fund (IMF), Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) and United Nations

Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Furthermore, countries can develop their

own national classifications according to their needs provided that transition to international

classifications is realized.

An abbreviated name is generally used for classifications. For example; while ISIC Rev.3 is used for

International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities Third Revision and CPC V1.0

is used for Central Product Classification Version 1.0.

Classification unit is the most fundamental unit classified in classifications. (For example, while

classification unit is an institution or enterprise in an activity classification, it’s the work in the

occupation classification.)

The correspondence tables are connection instruments among the classifications. A correspondence

table reveals that the categories of a classification can be under an other classification, or where and

how much the same classification can be in anterior versions. Correspondence tables are of great

importance in development and harmonization of the international classifications.

The classifications used in the production of official statistics are determined by TURKSTAT in

accordance with national and international needs. If the institutions use their own classifications to

meet their own needs; they are responsible for transition to determined classifications in coordination

with TURKSTAT.

The Official Statistics Classification Server is open to use over the web site of TURKSTAT and it’s being

continually updated in order to realize the implementation of the classifications needed for public

institutions, organizations and other users; enable to be used only one classification for each area, to

realize correspondence of the national classifications into the classifications used by European Union

countries and the international classifications. The web site link for The Official Statistics Classification

Server is http://tuikapp.tuik.gov.tr/DIESS/.

12

The related institutions and organizations which don’t use any classification in accordance with the

international standards will develop the required infrastructure for the transition of classifications in

the Official Statistics Classification Server.

However, the data is collected based on residency at the field study.
