Bucak (administrative unit)
Bucak (
Bucaks were important part of the Turkish administrative system prior to 1970, but since transportation facilities to villages were improved, the importance of bucaks declined.
Until 2014, bucaks were almost defunct, but their legal entity continued.[3] According to 2012 law 6360, bucaks as well as villages in 30 provinces were abolished, but the legal entity of bucak in other (51) provinces continued to exist. (See Metropolitan municipalities in Turkey) With changes approved on 11 September 2014, all bucaks were abolished.[4][5]
