Populations movements in the Turgutlu in the first half of the XIXth. century

XIXth. century has been a period of intense innovation. Many of the Ottoman institutions were either renovated or abolished. In 1826, the Janissary Army was abolished and the need to establish a new army emerged. The military potential of the country had to be determined in order to meet the military needs of this army. For this purpose, in 1831, the census of the male population was carried out throughout the country. In the following years, the census was countinued at certain periods. The sunject of our study is to examine the censuses of Turgutlu starting from the census in 1831 until 1850 and to determine the demographic structure of the central population of Turgutlu and reveal the change over the years. In our study, the quantitative and qualitative mobility of Turgutlu population will be determined based on the notes taken on the people registered in the population registers.
