Türkiye Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Annual data on internal displacement in Türkiye, sourced from the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). The dataset tracks two primary metrics: the stock of people living in displacement at year-end and the flow of new displacement incidents. It is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO and was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Analyzing trends in new displacement incidents based on the 'New Displacements' metric.
• Estimating the long-term humanitarian burden based on the year-end stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs).
• Modeling displacement drivers by correlating displacement figures with events of conflict, violence, or natural disasters.
• Assessing the scale of repeated displacement for individuals, as the data accounts for multiple incidents per person.

Strengths

• Data is validated and maintained by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Distinguishes between the stock of displaced people and the flow of new displacement incidents, a key methodological feature.
• Uses the internationally recognized 1998 Guiding Principles definition of internally displaced persons (IDPs).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Data may reflect geographic or temporal bias inherent to the collection methodology.
