Most provinces bear the same name as their respective provincial capital districts. However, many urban provinces, designated as greater municipalities, have a center consisting of multiple districts, such as the provincial capital of Ankara province, The City of Ankara, comprising nine separate districts. Additionally four provinces, Kocaeli, Sakarya, İçel and Hatay have their capital district named differently from their province, as İzmit, Adapazarı, Mersin and Antakya respectively.
A district may cover both rural and urban areas. In many provinces, one district of a province is designated the central district (''merkez ilçe'') from which the district is administered. The central district is administered by an appointed provincial deputy governor and other non-central districts by an appointed sub-governor (''

'') from their district center (''ilçe merkezi'') municipality. In these central districts the district center municipality also serves as the provincial center municipality. Both the deputy governor and sub-governors are responsible to the province governor ('' vali''). Greater Municipalities, however, are administrated differently where a separate seat of municipality exists for the entire province, having administrative power over all districts of the province.
Local government
Municipalities (''

A municipality is headed by an elected mayor (''belediye başkanı'') who administers the local government for defined municipal matters. More and more settlements which are outside district centers have municipalities as well, usually because their population requires one. A municipality's borders usually correspond to that of the urban settlement it covers, but may also include some undeveloped land.
Villages (''

They elect '' muhtars'' to care for specific administrative matters such as residence registration. The designation slightly differs (''köy muhtarı'' for village muhtar, ''mahalle muhtarı'' for quarter muhtar) and the tasks, which are largely similar but are adapted to their locality.
