VİLLAGE
Tribalism is one main and major phenomenon in Kurdish society and it can be classified into three categories, such as nomad, seminomad and settled. Since semi-nomadism and rural life style scale down in Kurdish society, the tribalism is also disintegrated. Nowadays, only a low percent of Kurds are nomads. Urbanism among Kurdish society has a vital fact in order to construct Kurdish identity and national consciousness. Even the tribalism is quite common in rural area especially in isolated regions, there is a large population living in the cities. Because of the private war that occured between 1980-2000 and deportation as an important outcome of the war, there was a mass of immigration from the eastern part of country. Around 13% of Kurdish population used to live in cities in 1940s, however more than 35% of it is in cities and towns at the moment. The villagers who are used to get income from agriculture and live-stock, could not work on anymore because of the regression in those fields of work so they become seasonal workers. According to research by the Development Agency; most of the families can not continue to live with the income from actions in the rural area, they send their children to metropolitian cities to work in the construction companies or to collect garbage or go to Iraqi Kurdistan to work. The unfair land distribution in the rural area and unfair income distribution are also one of the main problems in the region. Even 70% of population work on the agriculture sector, the property distribution is very unfair.
