Kiğı Sanjak was among the classical Ottoman sanjaks subject to the province of Diyarbekir in 1514 within the Ottoman provincial organization. After being under the rule of the Karakoyunlu, Akkoyunlu and Safavid states respectively, Kiğı and its vicinity joined the Ottoman administration together with other sanjaks in the region after the War of Chaldiran between the Safavid State and the Ottoman Empire during the reign of Yavuz Sultan Selim. Until 1535, Kiğı Sanjak, which was affiliated to the Governor of Diyarbekir, was connected to the Governor of Erzurum with the establishment of the Governor of Erzurum in 1535. Due to its regional geographical features, Kiğı Sanjak was a sanjak that served as a living space for some tribes and communities. As a matter of fact, according to the 1518-1523 cadastral record books of Kiğı Sanjak, Shadlu, Disimlü, Abu Taliblü, Rükneddin, Okculu and İlbeğlü communities and tribes were located within the borders of the sanjak and each community had its own villages. In 1553, although the Abu Taliblü, Okculu, Shadlu and Rükneddin communities continued to exist in the sanjak, there is no data on the Disimlü community. As a matter of fact, this should be an indication that this community settled in a different sanjak or district. When the 1642 data is analyzed, it is determined that there are serious differences regarding the tribes and communities in Kiğı. In this context, in addition to the Disimlu and Shadlu communities, Suveydi, Çoburlu, Kara Çorlu, and Gamur/Kamur, whose traces were not found in Kiğı between 1518-1553, were recorded within the borders of the sanjak at this date.

Pristina in Central Balkans is the largest city and capital of today's Republic of Kosovo. The city that is home to a variety of ethnical factors has been dominated by many powers throughout history such as the Roman Empire, the Serbian Kingdom, and the Ottoman Empire. The city that was a non-Muslim residence area until mid-15th Century started to adopt a different demographical structure with Ottoman sovereignty. In this study, Pristina's demographical change in the almost hundred years from the second half of the 15th Century to the second half of the 16th Century is discussed and how the city gained its identity as an Turkish-İslamic city is assessed. In this scope, Muslim-Turkish residences built in the city shall be discussed along with new mosque and masjid established in Pristina, neighborhoods that emerged around the places of worship, connections of neighborhoods with each other, and demographics of residents in the neighborhood. Also, localization of Muslim neighborhoods in physical structure shall be presented based on recorded documents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Ottoman State spreading over three continents with conquests, set policies in order to manage this vast geography well and thus consolidate its domination. One of these policies is the conduct of censuses to evaluate population and economic resources, necessary for the state's planning. Detailed taxation and accounting icmal registers between 16th and 17th centuries, avarız and jizya registers kept in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the Temettuat books of the 19th century assessed periodically cash and real wealth of the Ottoman Empire. These registers are a wealth of information for historical studies as they contain significant data in terms of settlement and population.This study, based on these data, aims to examine information about the population, settlement and the continuity of these settlements in Arhavi between the years 1583-1681/1682. For this purpose, the study compared data with regard to Arhavi's administrative status in 1583 and estimated population to the Avârız register of1681/1682. Combined with information from the mühimme registers it is apparent that the struggle of the ottoman empire with the the Celali Revolts in addition to the ongoing wars in Europe and the Caucasus resulted into significant population and status changes between the years 1583-1681/1682 in the region of Fındıklı, Arhavi, Hopa and Gonio districts.

Population and land destructions were registered in the Ottoman Empire for a long time. The records were made to see the tax potential in the country especially in connection with the manorial system, and as a result of these studies, the registery books were arranged. When the manorial system lost its former importance, the avariz tax, which was collected as a tax in case of need, turned into regular tax in the 17th and 18th centuries, and the avariz records were kept regularly. With the new developments in the 19th century, the nature of the counting processes began to change. The male population in the country was tried to be determined through a general census in 1830 and 1831. Counts were made first in Istanbul and then across the country. Within the scope of these censuses, the population census of Tarsus and Kusun townships was made. Tarsus sanjak consisted of three sub-districts in 1519; the center of Tarsus, Kusun and Ulaş. Some changes were observed in the administrative division of the sanjak in the 19th century. Earlier this century, Tarsus Sanjak consisted of Tarsus center, Kusun, Ulaş, Kuştemür, Gökçeli, Elvanlı, Namrun and Tekeli districts. It is determined that a census containing Muslim neighborhoods and villages was recorded in the "Kaza-i Tarsus and Kusun Population Book" registered in NFS.d: 3694 dated 9.12.1247 (1832), which belongs to the Tarsus and Kusun townships in the borders of Mersin (Icel). There are 14 Muslim Neighborhoods where Muslims reside and a non-Muslim neighborhood where Muslims and non-Muslims reside together in Tarsus. In addition, the Muslim group residing in Tarsus gardens and 11 villages of Tarsus and 17 villages of Kusun district were registered. A total of 3,699 people were registered as Muslims in the Population book of Tarsus and Kusun. In this study, the information about the population in the book of Tarsus and Kusun will be evaluated.

Historically, the most significant changes in the demographical structure of Anatolia have occurred in the last 150 years. In the last two centuries of the Ottoman Empire, the territories began to shrink as a result of the weakening of the Empire, losing wars and thus, losing significant portions of lands. The region that was affected most from this territorial shrinking process was Anatolia, which was considered as a safe haven at the nucleus of the Ottoman Empire. It is a commonly held view that the Ottoman-Russian War of 1877-1878 (the War of '93) was a critical point for the demographic structure of Anatolia. As a result of the disastrous defeat suffered at the hands of the Tsarist Russia the Muslim populations of the Balkans immigrated en masse to the Anatolian territories. This immigration wave left lasting effects on the demographic structure of the Ottoman Empire while at the same time creating the opportunity for the Balkan nations to constitute their nation-states. The independence movements in the Balkans were followed by the political changes in the Caucasian region and the Muslims of Crimea and Caucasia began to flood into Anatolia in large numbers beginning in the 1860s. The new "national" Turkish state, founded after the War of National Struggle in the first quarter of the 20th century, has been well established on a sociological basis in terms of nation-building with the integration of the Muslim refugees from the Balkans and the Caucasus with the native Muslim population of Anatolia. This nation-building process of modern Turkey during the first half of the 20th century was closely examined by the American officials who compiled a social and demographic map of Turkey.

Ilgın, Akşehir, Beyşehir and the vicinity were the Karamnoğulları's first annexed areas by the Ottomans. The Ottomans made tahrir in this region between 1465-466 and determined the region's taxation capacities. The Ottomans gave the timar livelihoods to the Ottoman sipahis instead of the Karaman sipahis. In addition to waqfs and properties which was given by Karamanoğlu İbrahim Bey, tax exemptions, charging etc. were saved by the Ottomans. Information and sources like these are densely seen in Karaman tahrir, waqf and property books. In the tahrir mentioned above, Ilgın appears as a county administration with 33 affiliated villages. The center of this administration was the center of Ilgın. The market, the dyehouse and the mosque in this place were important to show the formation of a city.

19th century is a period in which besides political dynamism, social changes have also accelerated. In this century, the migrations from the surrounding countries towards the Ottoman territories were the main triggering factors, effecting the social changes. The contribution of the emigrants in formation of Turkey, who came to Anatolia during the transition period from the Ottoman Empire to the Republic, can not be denied. From the mid of the 19th century, the emigrants who came from Caucasia have accepted the Ottoman State their new homeland. During the recent years, that migrations have been scrutinized by the researchers in several respects. In this work, the migrations from Caucasia in 19th century and the settlements of the emigrants were generally evaluated. Main sources of this work are generally original, and researches and verbal sources are also included.

In the XIX th century, the Ottoman Empire faced with many improvements and changes in administrative, financial and economical structure. One of these changes is census. By the middle of the century with a number of administrative changes, census was conducted in the entire country. These changes and census, made in the entire country, shows us the structure of the population and also gives us an opportunity to make number of assessments on a local basis. In this study, after determining the borders of Alaiye we will do an assessment on the population of sanjak. The population registry documents, located in Prime Ministry Ottoman Archives with the code MAD.d. 22011, gives us opportunity to make very detailed examination of the sanjak's population. This document divided inhabitants of Sanjak according to districts, regions, towns and registered them as villages. Apart from that, inhabitants were also classified as powerful, children, senior, soldier, and out of town. After the end of each district, regions total number of inhabitants is given. Results in this study will be compared with salnames, which were recorded at the end of century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with so called "näfus question", i.e. with diplomatic efforts of Serbia's Governments to secure recognition of the Serb nationality in Ottoman Empire within the millet system. Unlike Greeks or Bulgarians, Serbs in Turkey did not have separate millet in the late 19. century, for they did not posses an orthodox church of their own. In order to equalize them with formerly mentioned nationalities, various Governments of Serbia have tried from 1894 to 1910 to obtain formal recognition of their fellow nationals in Turkey. Diplomatic negotiations on that matter are described in detail. However, all the efforts eventually proved to be futile. Serbs in Turkey have remained unrecognized as millet until the liberation in Balkan wars. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
