XVII Yüzyılda Gediz’in Sosyo-Ekonomik Yapısı

Censuses, performed by the Ottoman Finance Organization in order to determine the taxpayers in different districts and different times, contain important information about administrative, economic and military structure of the State. These censuses were recorded with different names such as land, avarız and temettuat registrations. The main aim at this study is to examine the changes in the socio-economic structure and population of Gediz District in Kütahya Sanjak which was the center of the Anadolu Governor depending on the land registrations in the Beyazit II Era and the avarız registrations in the XVII century.
