Hi Jeff,
I've been mapping a lot in Turkey but can only tell for sure that
* il = province (admin_level=4)
* ilçe = town = district = district center (admin_level=6)
* köy = village (admin_level=8)
Concerning suburb/neighborhood (mahalle/semt) I'm still unsure and up to
now
didn't get ANY response from the Turkish community regarding classification
(see
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-tr/2014-November/000362.html)
The community is not very active in the mailinglist - they may be more
active in
a facebook group (I don't use fb)

Semt seems as if only being used in big cities - wikipedia calls them
"quarters":
* https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kategori:Türkiye'deki_semtler
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Quarters_in_Turkey
Even villages may have 1) suburbs which I give the neighborhood tag and 2)
"mezra"s
where I use hamlet.
Yayla vary from location (no house at all) over hamlet (some houses) to
suburb/village
(if big like a village)
Wikipedia says yayla = Plateau - in German I'd rather call them "Alm".
Bucak is sort of deprecated
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucak_(administrative_unit))
Another thing is that most villages in metropolitan municipalities have
been converted
to suburbs (6360 Metropolıtan Law) after 2012

Hi OSMers,
I'm trying to understand the placename classifications in Istanbul and
how those relate to OSM tags, and hoping someone can help. In Istanbul
there
are ilçe (districts) and mahalle (neighborhoods). But then there are
also semtler - what is the difference between mahalle and semtler?
Also I'm wondering about how to tag places. From the OSM wiki it seems
that districts should be place=suburb and mahalle should be
place=neighborhood, but on the map the districts are usually place=town
and mahalle/semtleri are either place=suburb or place=neighborhood. Is
there
any reason for tagging ilçe as place=town?
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to formalize the tags?
Cheers,
Jeff
