معرفی
Zühal DİLER serves as a full-time Lecturer in the Geography Department at Kastamonu University's Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences since 2024. Her academic foundation includes a PhD in Geography (2021) from Istanbul University, a Master's degree (2013) and BA (2010) from Fatih University.
Her research focuses on three core geographical domains:
- Regional Geography (analyzing provincial dynamics in Turkey)
- Population Geography (examining demographic shifts, mortality, and migration)
- Urban Geography (investigating traffic patterns, settlement structures, and university impacts on cities)
Recent publications reveal a strong emphasis on Turkish regional case studies, particularly Kastamonu Province, with recurring themes of spatial analysis, demographic transitions, and socio-spatial inequalities. Her work frequently employs GIS methodologies and statistical analysis of official datasets.
Collaborative research dominates her output, with frequent partnerships including Muhammed Akif Özçelebi (Gümüşhane University) and Tamer Özlü (Ondokuz Mayıs University). While her 18 publications show growing impact (180 cumulative metric points in 2023), no formal awards or student supervision records are documented.
