İZZEDDİN VILLAGE’S SOCIO-ECONOMIC SITUATION ACCORDING TO TEMETTUAT REGISTERS (1844-1845)

Summary/Abstract: In socio-economic and historical research of Ottoman State, Tapu-Tahrir Defters, Mühimme Defters and Temettuat Defters have an important place. Among these, Temettuat Defters are one of the most important documents to investigate social and economic structure of even small settlements especially during mid 19th century. This study aims at setting forth the social and economic structure of Izzeddin Village of Turgutlu Town in Saruhan Sanjak of Aydın Province during the mid-19th century making use of the Temettuat Defter dated 1844-1845 and numbered 2762. It is possible to infer from the registries that the villagers earned their livings from farming and animal husbandry in these years. While wheat, barley, vetch were heading agricultural crops, cow and buffalo raising was common. We have found no information on raising sheep and goats in Izzeddin Village during the investigated period. Occupations in the village show parallelism to farming and animal husbandry and agricultural labour; farmhand and workman were the most common jobs. Tithe was in the lead addition to the Private Taxes that the villagers paid. In this study, these taxes will be presented as well.
