Results: The highest prevalence of domestic violence has been determined in three central Anatolian cities. Spatial analysis of the domestic violence showed that prevalance values were higher in the northern part of Turkey compared with the eastern part. Domestic violence prevalance values were low in big cities such as Istanbul and Ankara.
