Cizye Tahrirlerine Göre Antakya’da Gayrimüslim Cemaatler
Non-Muslim Communities in Antakya According to Jizya Irritations

Summary/Abstract: In the Western world, where the concepts of nationalism and nationalism developed, states attached great importance to population movements, while the Ottoman Empire evaluated this potential in terms of taxpayers who would do their duty and military service. This limited the censuses to the number of household heads who could be taxed and the number of men suitable for military service. This led to an empire-wide census problem. From Antakya point of view, the situation is not very different. Researchers face big problems when it is necessary to reveal how the masses of the population living in this city, where the non-Muslims and the Muslim community live together. Data deficiencies resulting from these problems do not allow us to determine the conditions under which the child and female population declines and multiplies rather than the taxpayer male population. There are a number of destructions of Antakya and its surroundings that can produce population statistics of at least a certain period, dated 1694, 1842, 1843, 1844 and 1846. These destructions can overcome the shortcomings of the data to be used in the creation of population statistics. No studies have been carried out on any of these except 1842. Although the annotations of 1842, 1843, 1844, 1846, which are out of the book dated 1694, have almost the same order, some of the data have been observed to change over time. In this article, comparative analysis of the five books given according to the date order was made. The variations related to the population, capacity and occupation of taxpayers of Antakya, Suveydiye, Cebel-i Akra and Kuseyr subdistricts were emphasized.
