Pınarbaşı, Administrative division in Kastamonu Province, Turkey.
Pınarbaşı is a town and administrative district within Kastamonu Province in northern Turkey, situated across mountainous and valley terrain. The wider area contains several villages spread throughout this landscape of ridges and lowlands.
This district took its present form during Turkey's administrative reorganization in the early 20th century, when new district structures were established across the country. This reshaping aimed to create governable territorial units that could better serve scattered communities in rural areas.
The district maintains traditional Turkish administrative practices where appointed governors work alongside elected local officials to manage community affairs and development.
Government offices and administrative services are located in the main settlement and operate during regular working hours. Visitors should note that services focus primarily on local resident needs rather than tourism-related matters.
The district exemplifies Turkey's two-tier administrative system, where local authorities handle municipal matters while remaining connected to the central government structure.
