The working group consisted of a total of 144 married women, including 60 rural residents and 80 women residing in the city center. Family Values Scale was used to collect the data. The data from women in rural areas was gathered through individual interviews and the data from women in the city center was gathered through online participation.

As a result; women living in the countryside traditionally rated the family at a higher rate than those living in the city, they attach importance to the mother in child care, they attach importance to the role of raising children, they think that there should be democratic participation in the family, it has been determined that the family perceives it as a social and economic structure, attaches importance to relative relations and looks positively at the extended family.
