Giresun'da Sosyal, Ekonomik, Siyasi ve Kültürel Yaşam (1945–1960)

Abstract

In terms of social, economic and cultural features, Giresun retains general characteristics of the Black Sea Region in which it is located. Although the history of settlement goes back to ancient times, it became a province in its own right in 1923, the year that the Republic was proclaimed. For this reason, Giresun province has the same age with the Turkish Republic. However evolution and development were took place in every region in Turkey at those Republic days, Giresun did not benefit from this evolution era necessarily.On the other hand Giresun is the home of hazelnut, which is commonly farmed in the rest of the Black Sea Region too. Hazelnut has a vital importance for Giresun and a significant part of the population earn their life from it. But the investments to employ people in different departments of business were not able to be implemented.
