date of the decline process. In other words, Tuzcu is the last residential district within the transition
area that has begun to show the signs of decline process. As mentioned before, the decline has

especially at these years. Today, the population of the districts consists of the groups migrated from
the east regions of the country, and their economic power is very low as compared to the average of
the izmir.
