Transcription and evaluation of the Forest School Journal

Forestry was also among the subjects affected by the innovation movements that started in the Ottoman Empire. The first study in this field in the Ottoman Empire was translated from French Forest Law. In 1827, a 225-article Forest Law was prepared in France. In 1840, a 22-article Forest Draft (Orman Layihası) was prepared in the Ottoman Empire. Immediately afterward, the Forest Directorate, the first institution related to forestry, was established within the Ministry of Trade (Ticaret Nezareti) in 1840. However, this institution was closed in 1841. 1858 the "Arazi Kanunnamesi- Land Code" was published and the "General Directorate of Forestry" was established within ten years. The most comprehensive law study on forests in the Ottoman Empire, the "Forest Regulation- Orman Nizamnamesi", was issued in 1870. French engineers were assisted in the preparation of the Forest Regulation. The most important reason for this was the lack of qualified people to work on forestry in the Ottoman Empire. The Forest School was founded in 1858 and produced its first graduates in 1861. Later, the Forest and Mining Schools were combined. However, this situation did not last long and the Forest School was combined with the Halkalı Agricultural School in 1893. In 1909, the Forest School was founded. The Forest School published the Forest School Âlisi Journal in 1333 (1917 AD). The magazine was published monthly. The purpose of the magazine was to inform people interested in forests. The purpose of this study is to introduce and evaluation the Forest School Âlisi Journal. The study method was scanned and the document examined.
