Administrative division
The province has been divided into 19 İlçe since 2012 , which resemble a district in terms of settlement in rural areas and a district in urban agglomerations. In 2012, the old Denizli community was dissolved and a large city community ( Denizli Büyükşehir Belediyesi ) was established in its place . For this purpose, the old urban area was divided into several municipalities ( Belediye ) and with these and neighboring municipalities, the metropolitan municipality was formed. Successive was set up and dissolution of municipalities and overpasses of village ( Köy ) in Mahalle organizations a Einräumigkeit manufactured by local administration (by the Belediye) and state management (by the İlçe), so that as a result, the area of the individual communities with the each state administrative district of the same name covers. Following an administrative reform in 2013, the metropolitan area covers the entire province. The municipal self-government organs at provincial level ( İl Meclisi ) were dissolved and their responsibilities were transferred to the administration of the metropolitan municipality. The province thus became a purely state administrative district.
