Abstract (2. Language): 
The applications of family planning have been continued in Turkey though they have been changed according to time. However, their effect led to a spatial heterogeneity. In this work, levels of fertility rates depending on results of last two censuses of population in 915 districts were taken basis. Gini inequality measurement and gini correlation were preferred as method for 1990 and 2000 years. Obtained results showed that gini inequality nearing to 0 in rural regions where fertility rate is high supports homogeneous structure. In these regions, there is time stability in spatial distribution of fertility rate in opposition to the places where urban settlement is weighted. This circumstance supports that one-type application methods correctly selected in rural places can be sufficient for achievement of family planning works. On the other hand, it also supports that there is a need to develop special methods for every sub-regions in urban areas. Both internal and external geographic population movement limits the achievement of family planning applications in the regions where urban settlement is dense.
