Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi, geçmişten bu yana, kentleşme oranları ve kentsel gelişimin ülke ortalamalarının altında seyrettiği, dolayısıyla kentleşmenin düşük hızda gerçekleştiği bir bölgedir. Kentleşme üzerinde etkili olan pek çok parametre açısından değerlendirilebilecek olan bu durum, bölgenin coğrafi yapısı ve özellikleri ile de yakından ilgilidir. Bu çalışmada, Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi’nde kentsel nüfusun tarihsel gelişim ve değişimi irdelenerek; bölgede kentlerin dağılışı incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Cumhuriyet döneminde bölge nüfusunun yapısı ve değişimi farklı dönemler içinde değerlendirilerek kentsel nüfus ve kentleşme oranları ile kent sayısındaki değişim analiz edilmiştir. Bölge kentleri, nüfus büyüklükleri açısından kademelendirilerek, haritalandırılmış ve nüfus hareketleri ile göçlerin diğer coğrafi özelliklerle birlikte kentleşme üzerindeki etkileri değerlendirilmiştir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi, Kentleşme, Kentsel Gelişim, Kentsel Nüfus.
