Inebolu Road Construction Activities in the Sample of Ottoman Road Works in the Tanzimat Period (1862-1876)

Summary/Abstract: During the Tanzimat Period, most of the old highways had fallen into disrepair due to neglect. For this reason, a restructuring was made with macadam roads in the highway networks in the Tanzimat Period. Because the central government had a better understanding of the important role of roads in maintaining the existence of a state and establishing its sovereignty, ensuring economic and financial developments and increasing the prosperity and prosperity of the country, by taking into account the developments in Europe. It was requested from the temporary zoning councils formed in this sense to give priority to transportation and to develop road networks. However, road construction activities had to be carried out within a program. For this, the construction activities of the macadam roads to be built by the Nafia Treasury, the Ministry of Public Works and some technical institutions were tried to be carried out within a program and within the framework of the rules. In this study, the construction activities of the İnebolu road, which was first decided to be extended from İnebolu to Kastamonu, but then to Çankırı with some necessities, in the form of a macadam and earth road, were discussed in detail. The purpose of discussing these construction activities in detail in the study is to reveal within the framework of archival sources what kind of difficulties were encountered during the construction activities and for what reasons such construction activities were not completed on time, apart from the advantages that the road provided to the destiny of a country, as stated above.
